OUR TEAM

Education and Expertise

To get quality hands-on care from a physical therapist, you need to be in good hands – and education matters. That’s why all of our physical therapists are pursuing or have obtained additional certifications in their areas of interest – whether it’s a Pelvic Health Specialization, an Orthopedic Residency or a Fellowship in Orthopedic Manual Therapy. Our physical therapists learn at the best educational institutions and complete their clinical training right here at our practice – building up the advanced problem solving skills needed to treat complex conditions that often involve multiple body parts.

To ensure excellent care, we also:

• Closely collaborate with your doctor and other community healthcare providers
• Keep up with recent developments in our field through evidence-based medical literature and continued education
• Maintain membership in the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists
• Consult with each other, as well as with other physical therapists nationwide
• Use state-of-the-art equipment and advanced techniques

Dr. Angela M. Reich, PT, DPT, FAAOMPT

As our Clinic Operations Director, Angela has been an integral part of the business since 2010. Angela’s management role has grown along with the clinic, and she strives to create an environment that capitalizes on people’s talents while improving 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 Physical Therapy Degree from Creighton University in 2009, and in 2013 became a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists. Angela has focused her studies on women’s pelvic floor issues, including incontinence and pelvic pain. 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.
