Summer Ankrum, P.T., D.P.T.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in kinesiology from Arizona State University and a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree degree from Midwestern University. I have worked in outpatient orthopedics for the last year in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

I would describe myself as a passionate provider, energetic, compassionate, and empathetic. I feel these characteristics help me to form trusting relationships with my patients to make them feel seen and understood. I enjoy hot yoga and Pilates in my free time which, in turn, helps give me new ideas for exercises to incorporate into my own treatment plans.

Using a skillful approach, I help my patients live a better quality of using a whole-person approach by reviewing their entire medical history, listening to patient concerns and goals, and developing individualized treatment plans. With every patient I interact with, my goal is to give them the tools they need to become empowered to help manage their pain and improve their quality of life.
