Judy Downs, PT

Judith (Judy) Downs grew up moving around a lot due to her father being in the Navy. She eventually settled in Augusta, GA, to attend MCG's physical therapy school. After graduating in the early 90s, she began working as a PT in the CSRA of SC/GA. She has gained experience in acute care, outpatient clinics, skilled nursing facilities, and even remotely training new clinicians throughout her career. However, most of her career has been in home health, which she loves. Her work in the home allows her to help people in the setting where they spend most of their time and where they fight to stay as they age.

Judy finds physical therapy in the home a unique and challenging experience. Each house she enters presents new challenges, allowing her to get to know her clients, their families, friends, and even pets! She must listen carefully and use all her PT and problem-solving skills to assist her clients in meeting their specific and personal mobility goals. According to her, there is no job more fulfilling than this!
