I’m Zach Stearns, a physiotherapist obsessed with incorporating the latest research into my daily practice and getting the best results for patients. I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Florida in 2017. I am member of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), the Orthopaedic Section of the APTA, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy (AAOMPT), and the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP).
As a student, I founded the University of Florida’s Ortho Club. In 2010, I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Vanderbilt University.
I live in Durham, NC, with my wonderful wife, two children, and dog. I am always drinking coffee and always waiting for the next Pixar movie.

Podcast: Voice of the Patient
The “Voice of the Patient” podcast has a mission that I believe in: “We’re working to change lives, that is, improve quality of life, by improving healthcare through not only hearing, but truly listening to the voice of the patient.”
