Audrey L. Archer, PT, DPT, NCS
Audrey’s approach to physical therapy is based on the most current research combined with 22 years of experience working with clients and their families. Audrey has worked in all settings in the continuum of patient care from acute hospital care, through inpatient rehab, outpatient to community re-entry programs. This experience has allowed her to understand the in’s and out’s of the healthcare system. She believes in coordinating with each member of your healthcare team to provide a comprehensive approach to each case.
Audrey is passionate about treating each client individually and working to develop creative interventions that make a meaningful change in each client’s life. Audrey takes the dread out of yet another therapy session and returns the fun to being active!
On a personal note, Audrey has lived in Austin for 14 years and loves it! Audrey spends her time with her husband Rob and twin 14-year olds. She enjoys exercising (mostly the feeling afterward), attending her kid’s sporting events, walking her dog Sammy, reading and listening to podcasts.
“I feel incredibly lucky to be able to help families through the confusing and often scary process of dealing with a health challenge. I look forward to meeting you and discussing the possibility of teaming with you to achieve your goals.”
