About Gabriella Rodriguez

My name is Gabriella Rodriguez and I recently graduated from High Point University with my B.S. in Exercise Science. I am a passionate learner and am driven by helping others regain mobility and return to activities they love. I currently serve as a Pediatric Casting Technician at Pediactivity Specialized Pediatric Therapy, where I assist with dynamic serial casting to improve gait, posture, and mobility in pediatric patients. I also work as a Physical Therapy Technician at BreakThrough Physical Therapy, where I assist with patient setup, demonstrate therapeutic exercises, and support individualized treatment plans. Through this role, I have gained hands-on experience with over 150 exercises and developed strong clinical communication skills.I am eager to continue growing as a clinician through hands-on patient care as a physical therapy technician, while I prepare to pursue my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at East Carolina University, beginning in May 2026. I am passionate about fostering a supportive and comforting environment for every patient I work with.
