Patient Success Spotlight
Employee Of The Month
ANTHONY LICARI
“Starting physical therapy was something I was very nervous about. In October 2017, I got in an accident and broke my calcaneus. My first day at therapy, I was on a peg leg and could barely put any weight down on my enormous foot. Stephanie, who was my therapist throughout my visits, first greeted me. She walked me through what I had to do very well and she made it a point to really work on places that hurt more than others. She was great! As the therapy progressed and I started to walk again, we changed all of the exercises; now at the end, the only thing that stayed the same is the stimulation and massage. I think the circuit worked well, as I am able to run a mile continuously now. Also, the rest of the staff was great!” - Carl P. “I think the circuit worked well, as I am able to run a mile continuously now.”
When asked what his favorite food was, Anthony said sushi and popcorn but that if he could choose a candy it would be Gushers. In his free time, Anthony likes to take dance classes, sing or perform live. When not performing he likes to run, and do yoga. His favorite part of working at FPTW are his friendly coworkers.

What do you like to do when you’re not at PT? I keep very busy when not at PT. I have two children and two dogs. I also help out with a few different charitable organizations as well as being active in different charities in my children’s school district. I love to bake, travel and enjoy time w/ friends and family. What is your favorite part about coming here? All of the staff is so friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable. Even when I am having a difficult pain day, I leave feeling better emotionally as well as physically.
How long have you been a patient here? I have been coming to PT on and off over 11 years to treat and manage my systemic rheumatiod arthritis. The past year I made a commitment to come consistently each week. Coming to PT, coupled with my medication and eating right, is the perfect combination to help me feel well.
