Francisco Franco, PTA

Francisco graduated from Concorde Career College in North Hollywood with an Associates degree in Physical Therapist Assistant.

In his free time, he likes to go to the gym, go on hikes, eat good food, and play video games.

He has also played all types of sports over the years, from basketball, volleyball, and football to skateboarding and snowboarding.

Because of all the sports he's played he's experienced multiple injuries over the years. Out of all the injuries, what made him want to pursue a career as a PTA was his football injury in high school, which left him temporarily paralyzed from the neck down. He eventually regained sensations in all his limbs, but had to relearn how to walk. Since then, he has worked on strengthening all areas of his body that were weak through exercises.
