EP 81: "Purpose Driven PT" featuring founder/owner of Civil Physical Therapy Dr. Clifford Civil

Dr. Clifford Civil was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. As a young boy growing up in the urban community of Flatbush, Brooklyn, he had a natural attraction to athletics and sports, but enjoyed basketball the most. He played basketball recreationally throughout the years, but played football for a short stint in high school prior to relocating from New York to the metro-Atlanta area of Georgia. Dr. Civil grew up in a loving and nurturing, yet strict, Caribbean household which highly influenced his continuous pursuit of higher learning and a profession in healthcare. In 2010, he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science from Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA. Soon after in 2013, he earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY. Dr. Civil gels together his affinity for movement and his natural compassion for others in the care of his patients. Dr. Civil has several years of extensive experience treating patients in private clinics with various orthopedic and sports related injuries. In addition, he has years of experience providing physical therapy for patients in their homes. Lastly, Dr. Civil is also experienced with fitness and wellness training dating back to 2010 when he was formally certified as a Health Fitness Specialist by the American College of Sports Medicine. Dr. Civil is the founder and owner of his own firm titled Civil Physical Therapy, which he originally started in 2017, but did not truly break ground until 2020. Civil PT was created with the main objective of providing a healthcare delivery model that's convenient, results-driven, tailor-made, and most-of-all, patient-oriented.
