Staff Physical Therapist Wanted
Dr. Wendy Lang, MS, PT, DPT
Physical Therapist
Qualifications: Doctorate in Physical Therapy
Born: New Jersey
Now lives: Portsmouth, RI
Professional background leading to a career in health and wellness:
During high school, while exploring healthcare careers, my mother suggested volunteering at the hospital, which I loved! Later, I babysat for a Physical Therapist and became fascinated by his Physical Therapy journals. He generously allowed me to shadow him in his clinic, and it was then that I knew Physical Therapy was the career for me. I went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science/Sports Medicine, a Master of Science in Physical Therapy, and finally a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Now, with over 30 years in the field, I can't imagine doing anything else!
​What reasons you are passionate about helping others:
I have a genuine love for people, and this profession provides the wonderful opportunity to build relationships with so many individuals. It is incredibly fulfilling to use my skills to help them regain strength and health, and most importantly, return to the activities they love. I feel privileged to be a part of someone's healing process and to help them progress from recovery to optimal performance!​
What do you enjoy in your free time:
In my free time, I enjoy walking/hiking, weight training, horseback riding, and boating/sailing.
