DR. ANGELA M. REICH
PT, DPT, FAAOMPT

As our Clinic Owner, Angela has been an integral part of the business since 2010 when she was hired as a staff physical therapist. Angela’s management role has grown along with the clinic, as she became the clinic operations director in 2013 and eventually took ownership of the clinic in April 2022. In her role, she has strived to create an environment that capitalizes on people’s talents and encourages innovation and collaboration to improve the business’ overall health.

A Garden City native, Angela graduated from Kansas State University in 2006 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology. She got her Doctorate Physical Therapy Degree from Creighton University in 2009, and in 2013 became a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists after completing her fellowship coursework and mentoring through The Manual Therapy Institute.

Angela has extensive experience in orthopedics and is trained in mobilization and manipulation techniques of the spine and extremities. Angela has also focused her studies on women’s pelvic health since 2011 when she realized a significant need for the community and built a program from scratch. She treats a wide array of problems including incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, pregnancy related pain, diastasis recti, and postpartum rehab. Education is an important component of her approach, as many of her patients don’t realize they have a common, treatable condition and dismiss their symptoms as “normal.”

Accelacare has given Angela the opportunity to help address rural healthcare needs and pursue her passion of educating and empowering people. She has a constant need to invest in the community and intertwine other businesses and resources to improve the quality of life for everyone in the community and surrounding areas.

She created Accelacare’s award winning clinical education program that includes the top PT programs across the nation and has grown the program from 1-2 students per year to 15 students per year. Her resume also includes being a faculty mentor for The Manual Therapy Institute Fellowship, James Dunning Spinal Manipulation Institute, and Regis Orthopedic Residency and Fellowship. She has mentored numerous fellows and residents over the years and hopes to increase learning opportunities in the years to come.
