Paige Davidson, PT, DPT
Paige received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2006 at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ. She has had the privilege of working in various physical therapy settings across Arizona, Idaho and Albuquerque, with a recent move to Taos in the summer of 2018. She is a hands-on therapist, with a practice emphasis that has focused on outpatient orthopedics, sports injury, industrial and surgical rehabilitation, vestibular dysfunction, long-term pain management and patient education.
Originally raised in the Boston area, Paige had parents with a passion for skiing and grew up exploring the mountains of New England. After a visit to the Rocky Mountains as a teenager, she knew right away the West was the place for her. She has since spent as much time as possible skiing, mountain biking, dirt biking, hiking, backpacking and generally soaking in all the Western mountains have to offer for the past 20 years. She and her husband have two young children and a rescue dog who also can’t seem to get enough of the outdoor excursions.
Having experienced both small town and city life, Paige is thrilled to be back in a mountain town where she can not only pursue the adventures she desires, but can help others with their healing so they may do the same.
