Dr. Terry Korinth
PT, DPT, COMPT
Physical Therapist
I grew up in Springfield, Pennsylvania. As a child, I played numerous sports, including soccer, baseball, roller hockey, and golf. I received my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology from Penn State University. Following graduation, I worked various jobs, including volunteering for an AmeriCorps non-profit education organization called City Year, which is where I met my wife, Melissa. I also worked as a prosthetic technician and a rehab technician. I then moved to New Hampshire to start my Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Plymouth State University. My last clinical rotation as a student was in Fleming Island, FL, and we then made the official move to Florida after I graduated in May 2022. I worked at Brooks Rehabilitation for a year before joining Direct Orthopedic Therapy in May of 2023.
Core Values: Authenticity, Humor, Caring & Trustworthiness
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. -Wayne Gretzky”
-Michael Scott
At Direct Orthopedic Therapy, I specialize in orthopedic conditions, golf rehab and injury prevention, manual therapy, dry needling, and balance and fall prevention.
My favorite part about being a physical therapist is helping people achieve their specific goals—whether that be returning to their favorite sport, dialing in their golf swing, getting out of bed without assistance, walking without an assistive device, or feeling more confident while walking.
Compared with other physical therapy companies, my favorite part about working at Direct Orthopedic Therapy is the 1-on-1 care. With this model, you are truly receiving personalized treatment tailored not only to your physical ailments, but also to all aspects of you as a person.
