Female Fridays with
Dr. Aracelly Latino-Feliz

Happy Friday, Female emPOWERED listeners! My #FemaleFriday guest this week is Dr. Aracelly Latino-Feliz, PT, DPT, SFMA.

 

After completing her Masters in Physical Therapy at Florida International University in 2007, she moved to California and worked at a highly regarded physical therapy and performance facility in the San Francisco Bay Area. This is where she began implementing a more holistic approach to her practice as a PT.

 

Holistic approach to healing 

With more than 15 years of experience in the fitness and sports industry, Dr. Latino-Feliz believes in an integrated approach to reach optimal health and performance, and to increase resistance to injury. She worked with collegiate, professional, and olympic-level athletes from the NFL, MLB, and USA Men’s Bobsled Team! She is also part of the clinical faculty at The University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences Doctoral Physical Therapy Program in Miami.

 

Tune in as we discuss how she fell in love with the sports and fitness industry, how she integrates emotional intelligence into her practice, and specific adaptations she has made as a female entrepreneur.
