Aimee earned her Bachelor of Science in Human Biology in 1991 from Texas Woman’s University in Denton, Texas where she graduated Magna Cum Laude. Two years later, she earned her Master of Science in Physical Therapy from Texas Woman’s University in Dallas, Texas.
Aimee practiced outpatient orthopedic physical therapy in Irving, Texas, before she branched out and moved on to other physical therapy practices in the Arlington/Mansfield area. Aimee created and implemented work hardening and conditioning programs in multiple facilities throughout Texas, working with them to achieve the maximum 3 year CARF accreditation. In 2003, she joined MedSport/Arlington Pain & Therapy as Director of Physical Therapy. As Arlington Pain & Therapy began to make plans for opening their Mansfield location, Aimee was asked to develop an intensive cardiac rehab program for the new Regency Pain and Therapy Institute. After completing her research, Aimee developed the current program by following the guidelines established by AACVPR and working with the nationally based Pritikin program to prepare the staff for the education component of the new program.
