Meet Our Fearless Leader

Dawn Rouse is a physical therapist and owner of four Fyzical clinics in Western North Carolina. She has 30 years experience in this field. Although many of you know about Dawn's educaton, many of you may not know why she got started in this field and probably haven't heard all her amazing stories. 

Since she was a small child Dawn has had a passion for helping others in need. At the young age of seve she witnessed her mother working fourteen hour days and saw the pain she was in from being on her feet all day. She would do anything she could to help her mother so Dawn would rub her mother's feet and even walk across her back to try and ease the pain. This was the beginning of her journey into physical therapy. 

She has countless stories from her unique experiences from over the years as well. When she first started out as a PT in Louisiana she was only seeing 8 patients a day all from ages 0-3. She was traveling all over to make sure these children were taken care of and soon that turned into a program that needed 20 therapists to handle the amount of patients.  Some years ago she took an 11 day course to become certified in canine rehab. She's treated several dogs in the course of her career. She loves PT so much she is willing to treat 2 and 4 legged!

Dawn is extrememly active in our Brevard community as well as the Asheville area and even though she isn't officially practicing on a daily basis many patients still ask for her. She has really immersed herself into her communities and the lives of her patients and friends. She has built an awesome community around herself as well, consisting of friends, family, and co-workers.

In a community interview Dawn was once asked "Explain one thing you would never change about what you do." Her response "I would never change declaring physical therapy as my major. It has been the most multifacted career choice for me and it has allowed me to grow personally and professionally in ways I don't think I ever imagined." Physical Therapy is not just a job for Dawn. It is what she does, who she is, and her number one passion. She wants to always provide the highest quality rehabilitation along side employees that feel supported. Dawn's ultimate goal as an owner is to help people get stronger and well after injury, surgery, or illness and to give everyone the opportunity to Love Your Life!
