Meet The Team

     .

Dr. Karina M. Urraca has over 20 years experience treating different conditions in the physical therapy field, which include orthopedics, neurological, geriatrics, acute care, pediatrics, and cardiovascular and pulmonary physical therapy. She graduated as a Physical Therapist Assistant first from Miami Dade College, after that she obtained her Bachelors in Psychology at Florida International University, and then went on to complete her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Florida International University as well. Karina has an interest in treating all types of conditions, however she has a special interest in pediatrics and neurology, specialties that she has been practicing for the past 10 years because she noticed that there was a great demand and need for physical therapists to work in those fields, but a limited number of therapists interested in them. With a treatment philosophy that focused on rehabilitation through providing care with kindness and respect, exercise, and manual therapy, Dr. Urraca is dedicated to helping her patients and those in need to achieve their greatest potential and be as independent as they can be, so they could live a better, longer, and more fulfilling life.    .
