Agile Physical Therapy’s commitment to excellence is exemplified by our educational programs. Over the last decade, we have developed an orthopedic residency and fellowship, a hand therapy fellowship, a pelvic and gender health residency, and the student program. The student program for physical therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy assistants works to enhance clinical reasoning, promote skill mastery, and inspire future leaders in healthcare.

Teresa Ludwig PT,DPT Mentor Coordinator
“I’m an orthopedic residency-trained and manual therapy fellowship-trained physical therapist, and my passion is education. I love being an instructor and helping others grow, whether they’re pre-PT students just starting out or licensed clinicians in our residency and fellowship programs. One of my favorite parts of teaching is watching the gears turn when someone is working through a new concept or challenging case. I strive to create an environment where curiosity is encouraged, questions are welcome, and learning is always happening. In my current role in Agile’s Student Program, I focus on pairing students with the right clinical instructors and supporting our CIs so they feel confident not just as clinicians but as effective teachers.”
Jessica Ruiz PT, DPT Student Coordinator
“I’m an orthopedic physical therapist with a passion for education and lifelong learning. As part of Agile’s student program, I help place students at our clinics, ensuring they have the opportunity to grow through meaningful, hands-on clinical experiences. My own clinical rotations played a pivotal role in shaping the clinician I am today, and I still carry forward the techniques and lessons I learned from my CIs in my daily practice. I’m committed to paying that forward by creating spaces where students can challenge themselves, gain confidence, and develop into skilled and thoughtful clinicians.”
