Pecharat Kitijarurat

I am a first generation Thai-American born and raised in Alexandria VA. I got my bachelors majoring in kinesiology and minoring in chemistry at The College of William & Mary. Shortly after, I moved to Richmond to attend VCU where I got my doctorate in physical therapy. I have worked in various clinics in Alexandria, Williamsburg, Richmond, and now Woodbridge!

Experience

During my training, I completed full-time clinical rotations in outpatient orthopedics, inpatient rehabilitation (specifically stroke rehab), and outpatient neurological rehabilitation. I’ve worked with a variety of conditions ranging from orthopedic injuries, post-op knee replacements, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis. I have also spent several years working as a physical therapy technician prior to my schooling.

My passion is helping others regain function and strength so they can get back to doing what they love!

The community at Mid-County is so special. The people here are extremely uplifting and supportive. Truly an environment that fosters growth and success.

Core Values

I highly value honesty, empathy, and compassion in order to spread goodness to those around me.

Outside of work

My favorite pastime is going outside and reconnecting with nature! I love going on walks with my beagle (her name is Pepper) and sometimes my cat (his name is Dobby). I also love birding, playing guitar, volleyball, gardening, and dancing (salsa, line dancing, hip hop)!
