Meet Teena Petree of Fyzical Therapy and Balance Center in North Dallas

Local Stories

Today we’d like to introduce you to Teena Petree.

Teena , can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
When my brother was a small child, he became very ill. After his rehabilitation restored him back to health, I was inspired to start my own career in physical therapy. I dedicated myself to learning the human body and understanding how it works while studying at a top physical therapy school. But the best understanding came from one-on-one interaction with every individual patient. One of the most important things I have learned is how every individual is unique and so, too, every treatment program has to be unique.

I have worked as a physical therapist for more than 30 years and I have owned my own company for almost 18 years. My mission was just to give someone back their lifestyle. I take that very seriously, when someone suffers from a painful accident or traumatic debilitating disease, a person feels stripped of their sense of self. To help them relieve their pain and fulfill their potential for a healthy lifestyle, we can offer their life again. This gives me the greatest sense of satisfaction and makes physical therapy my passion, not just a job.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has not been a smooth road by any means. There will always be difficulty when you are accomplishing great things, and I never forget that! But one of our obstacles have been the economy and the health care bills in general. Insurances have cut so much that it was been a lot of rough patches in our path, they now reimburst 50% less than they used to. Therefore, we have had to become even more resilient and efficient in our overhead, being careful to ever cut our patient care needs. There is a tight rope we have to walk at all times. Keeping the patients’ needs first is always a successful path in my eyes.

FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Center – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Center is most proud that we can help all walks of life, We have dedicated our time to getting specialized in balance for the most epidemic occurrences in healthcare today. The financial toll for older adults falls are expected to increase as the population ages and may reach 67.7 Billion by 2020. Every 13 seconds an older adult is treated in an emergency room for a fall. Therefore, we have made it our business to offer Free Fall Risk Assessments for anyone who thinks they might be at risk. It is our way to give back to our local community.

Teena Petree, PT, is also specialized in Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. There is an timid community that has suffered from incontinence, as well as, womens’ pelvic pain, sexual pain, and men’s pelvic pain. We are unmasking this issue one patient at a time. Because we are open to talking about the issue, and have been able to help people regain their intimate life back with dignity it has been a door we determined to go through with success. There are only a handful of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Therapist in DFW and we are the most experienced!

What moment in your career do you look back most fondly on?
There has not been one significant moment but many. Through the years I have had so many proud moments of my journey as a physical therapist. When a patient shares with me about how there health and body has been restored as a result of my care it makes what I do so priceless.
