Garrett’s Story
Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but the baseball diamonds Stillwater-born Garrett Field ran at Penn State lost all their glitter—and that’s a good thing. He recognized that baseball wasn’t leading where he wanted to go. So, he came home to Oklahoma State and majored in Nutrition and Pre-Med. This change in course ultimately led him to his current Physical Therapy Assistant position here at LifeMotion.
But not before a five-year stint as an oil and gas landman working out of Edmond. While visiting courthouses and landing leases afforded him autonomy and freedom, it didn’t bring the personal reward he wanted.
That’s why he entered Physical Therapist Assistant School in 2017. While there, he started working as a technician at LifeMotion. Two years later, after graduating, he joined our team full time.
“There’s a lot of learning in this job every day,” Garrett says. “Working side-by-side with great providers has helped me grow as a clinician.”
Garrett has enjoyed exercising his whole life—starting in high school and then college baseball. During that time, he experienced the receiving end of physical therapy. That opened him up to the idea of physical therapy and all its challenges. At LifeMotion, you’ll often find him working with many post-surgical cases.
“Once you go through something traumatic, you don’t know if you’ll be the same again,” Garrett says. “It’s super satisfying to help get them back to the person they were before, doing the things they enjoy.”
What’s next for Garrett? Because he’s found rewarding work in physical therapy, he’s set his sights on starting DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy) school.
