I was born in Chicago and grew up in Tennessee. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Tennessee in 2018 and my DPT degree at the UT Health Science Center in Memphis, TN in 2022. After PT school I moved back to Chicago to start my PT journey. I was previously working in the suburbs before coming to ORC in 2024. I enjoy being a therapist to help my patients achieve their goals, and to also learn from the variety of patients I see and interact with. I like creating different solutions every day for different situations and patient needs. I enjoy spending time with my cat, Vader. I also enjoy biking on the Lakefront trail and exploring new restaurants in the city.

Eduardo graduated Magna Cum Laude from Northern Illinois University with a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences, Pre-Physical Therapy and then graduated Morton College with an Associate in Applied Science to become a Physical Therapist Assistant. “I enjoy my work at ORC because I believe human anatomy transcends thoughts and cultural divides. A body part in the eastern hemisphere is the same as on the western hemisphere. So I am very proud to be able to be a part of a profession that allows me to be of help to any individual on this planet and I enjoy being able to provide the physical guidance that is necessary to support a person on their journey to improve their deficits in range of motion, muscular strength, and balance and stability in order for them to be able to engage in life to their fullest with the least restrictions. Life is movement and movement is life.” His hobbies include spending time with family, going on walks and runs with his dog, playing rugby, and maintaining an active lifestyle.
