Robby Lee, PT, DPT, OCS recently completed his OCS certification. The OCS specialty is the highest level a PT can reach in the outpatient setting when it comes to diagnosing and treating patients. The OCS Board Certification is granted by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA)’s American Board of Physical Therapy Specialists (ABPTS) and involves rigorous application and examination processes, spanning over a year. Only 6% of physical therapists are Orthopedic Clinical Specialists.
The advanced clinical knowledge and skill set that comes with a Board Certification allows therapists to better treat the patients in their specialty and keeps them up-to-date with cutting-edge research and technology. The OCS certification focuses on evidence-based practice, orthopedic injury examination, treatment, and medical interventions.
Robby’s education doesn’t stop with just him. Students who choose Fremont Therapy Group are able to study under any of our skilled professionals, including Robby. One of the best things about physical therapy is the camaraderie between our staff and students.
