Our Team

Ezequiel Rivera brings a passion for holistic health and a personal journey of transformation to his role as a Physical Therapy Assistant. Earning his associate’s degree in Science was just the beginning for Ezequiel, who furthered his education at Loma Linda University, obtaining an associate’s degree in Physical Therapy Assistance.

The spark that ignited his desire to become a Physical Therapy Assistant was witnessing a friend’s resilience and recovery after a significant accident through the power of Physical Therapy. Ezequiel finds fulfillment in helping patients overcome chronic pain, establishing a genuine connection with them on a personal level. His ultimate goal is to inspire patients to strive for continuous self-improvement, wanting to become a better version of themselves every day.

Ezequiel’s personal journey mirrors this commitment, having successfully shed over 100lbs after once weighing 320lbs. He firmly believes in the transformative impact of a healthy and active lifestyle, not only for personal well-being but also for the well-being of his patients.

Beyond his dedication to patients, Ezequiel nurtures an aspiration to achieve new milestones. He dreams of running a marathon, participating in an Olympic triathlon, and traveling to every continent. Ezequiel envisions opening his own physical therapy clinic to provide personalized care to a broader community.

In his free time, Ezequiel is an avid fitness enthusiast, enjoying activities such as working out, hiking, and exploring new challenges. He also finds joy in the simple pleasures of reading books, trying new things, walking, hiking, and spending quality time with his canine companions.

Ezequiel’s multifaceted approach to life and commitment to personal growth make him not just a dedicated Physical Therapy Assistant but also an inspiring example for both colleagues and patients.
