Marissa Tamez
@marissatamez
Kinesiology graduate and Physical Therapy Technician focused on patient care and therapeutic exercise support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Kinesiology graduate from The University of Texas at Austin with over 500 hours of clinical observation and hands-on experience in outpatient rehabilitation settings. I’ve supported licensed therapists by assisting with individualized rehabilitation and therapeutic exercise programs, focusing on proper form, safety, and adherence to treatment plans.
In my Physical Therapy Technician role at Avila Physical Therapy (Aug 2025 – Feb 2026), I guided patients through exercises to enhance comfort, engagement, and recovery outcomes. I also prepared and maintained treatment areas, equipment, and supplies to support efficient clinic flow.
Alongside that, I completed outpatient orthopedic experiences and additional observation hours across multiple physical therapy settings, building familiarity with orthopedic injuries, mobility training, and exercise progression. I’m now seeking a position in a health, fitness, or rehabilitation setting where I can apply my knowledge of human movement to contribute to patient care and recovery.
