Hello Physical Therapy Community!
My name is Nhi Reighter, and I would like to introduce myself as the new physical therapist
assistant (PTA) board member for the Board of Physical Therapy. I have been a licensed PTA
since 2014, spending most of my career in outpatient orthopedics where I found my
passion in rehabilitation for post-operative and acute injuries. Shortly after earning my
degree, I moved to Washington in hopes of finding a climate with more trees and
mountains.
Fast forward to today. Add buying a home, adopting a new four-legged friend, a wedding,
and two kids amidst a worldwide pandemic, and here we are starting a new chapter in my
career. This chapter involves assisting the physical therapy community with rules and
regulations within the state of Washington.
I am excited to learn about the processes by which laws and rules are made and modified
in our systems. I look forward to assisting in granting licensure to those who have worked
so hard to earn their credentials and will improve the profession as a whole. I appreciate
this opportunity and look forward to working for you all to maintain a high level of
professionalism within our field.
In my personal life, my husband and I have two children, Autumn (5) and August (3), and a
mini Australian Shepherd, Daisie. They keep us busy with Legos and all things Spider-Man
and Disney Princesses while visiting the zoo and just enjoying being outdoors in the
wonderful adventures that Washington has to offer.
