Volunteer Success Stories
“My name is Nicholas Tran, I was a volunteer at P3 Athletic for a couple of weeks and did not have the opportunity to continue due to school, but would stay if I had the chance. I learned many things at P3 Athletic such as the process in which these wonderful physical therapists approach pain and how to address different ailments that each patient might have. I learned the care, passion, and persistence that is needed to truly help a patient overcome pain and live a happier and healthier life. Whether it be pain from everyday life, or pain specific to sports, the physical therapists at P3 athletic never ceases to amaze me with their talent and expertise. P3 Athletic was meaningful and worthwhile to me because it showed me how a cash based physical therapy clinic can really allow physical therapists to help in the ways that are needed. It showed me that patients were not simply people coming to them with pain, but instead people who wish to live a life that they see for themselves.” — Nick T., Former Volunteer
“During my final year of undergrad, I volunteered at P3 Athletic to explore a niche specialty within physical therapy. From the start, I felt immersed in the P3 culture of clinical excellence, quality patient- centered care, and sports rehabilitation expertise. The volunteer experience was impactful. I felt like part of the patient journey, from helping maintain an organized clinic space to witnessing physical therapy practiced in a way that upheld high standards of care. Closely observing the physical therapists gave me new insight into the qualities I hope to embody one day: how to communicate and educate across diverse populations, how to adapt treatment plans to fit each athlete’s needs, and how to make physical therapy not just a quick fix, but a long-term influence on someone’s daily life. The physical therapists at P3 were welcoming, professional, and inspiring mentors who actively supported my learning. I left the experience even more fascinated about physical therapy and prepared with new perspectives to carry into my future career.” — Elena S., Former Volunteer and Mentee
“After volunteering, I was hired as part of the team. Now I help mentor new volunteers myself!” — Former Volunteer & Employee
