Josh O’Dell, PTA
Josh is from
Petersburg, WV where he was rather busy playing 3 sports year
round. After suffering an ACL tear playing football, he required
surgical repair followed by intensive physical therapy to be able to play
baseball in the upcoming months. Throughout his time spent in physical therapy
doing his own rehab, he found helping others recover from injury was something he
wanted to do in the future.
He graduated from WVU with a bachelors in exercise physiology,
minor in communication and emphasis in aquatic therapy. He has extensive
training in aquatic therapy and you will likely be
assisted by him at some point if you come to the clinic for the pool. He then
attended the physical therapist assistant program at Pierpont Community and
Technical college and began working for PRO PT In
August of 2016.
Josh is known around the clinic for always smiling even when he
barely sleeps due to his 5 month old twins. He is the
“Mr. Fix-it” around the clinic performing his usual duties in patient care as
well as carpentry, electrical and mechanical work when the issue arises. He is
also notoriously known for tossing objects and/or making some
kind of noise so feel free to yell at him when this occurs because he is
likely oblivious that he is doing it.
