Jose Guevara-Cortez, PT, DPT
Specialization: general orthopedics, sports medicine, pre/post-surgical rehab, geriatrics, gait & balance.
Jose is an Augusta County local and developed an interest in physical therapy while serving in the United States Air Force. During his 10 years of service as a dental hygienist, he deployed to the Middle East and served as a Spanish translator during a humanitarian mission in South America.
His commitment to exercise began when he was 13 years old, and he became aware of the profession as a result of an injury during his time on active duty. Physical therapy was intriguing for him due to his passion for exercise, coaching, and ability to motivate & build trust in others.
Jose received his Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management from Park University and graduated with his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Mary Baldwin University's Murphy Deming College of Health Sciences in 2022. His clinical education allowed him ample experience in the outpatient setting as well as inpatient rehab. He treated a variety of orthopedic and neurological conditions which varied from simple to complex in nature.
Jose aims to connect with his patients, teach resiliency & self-confidence through evidence-based practices, and promote patient independence.
Away from the clinic, Jose loves to spend time with his wife and stay active in the gym. You can find them camping, hiking in the Shenandoah National Park, and cooking dinner together while listening to good music.
