—Evan Burke, Physical Therapist and Certified Health Coach
EVAN BURKE received a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, MS, in 2006. He then attended the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in St. Augustine, FL, where he obtained a Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2008. Evan later became a Certified Health Coach in 2014 to round out his ability to provide total life wellness to his patients.
“The human body is amazing. Patients continue to astound me with their ability to recover their strength and agility so quickly with the right guidance.”
Since receiving his degrees, Evan has worked in a variety of settings including long term care, inpatient rehabilitation, home health care settings and outpatient clinics. Evan has a special interest in working with people who suffer from persistent pain.
He has advanced knowledge in pain physiology (how pain works) and helps decrease his patient’s uncertainty of pain by answering every question and explaining why their pain exists and how it can change.
Evan believes the main goal of therapy is to help each person become self-sufficient in making the necessary changes to their lifestyle in order to achieve lasting improvements in pain relief and functional ability.
