Please describe your business.
Symmetry Physical Therapy is an out-patient rehabilitation center which focuses on industrial injuries, pediatric rehabilitation, stroke rehabilitation, sports medicine and orthopedic injuries.
Why did you establish your own business? Can you tell us when and why you started?
Symmetry was established in 2009 as a collaborative effort between my husband and myself. Up until that year, I had worked for many different out-patient facilities and had expressed a deep desire to one day open my own. A business venture in 2005 with a would-be partner turned out unproductive, which was an eye-opener for me. I was also not very pleased with my position as director at a local hospital. Being female and a minority and governing 5 male therapists, I felt that my position was subject to discrimination on both a sexual and racial nature. It was a turning point in 2009 when I finally decided that I needed to take rein of my professional future.
