Erica Pendleton, CMT, PTA (Certified Massage Therapist, Physical Therapist Assistant)
Erica began her career in the health field in 2001 when she completed the curriculum at Quality Massage School in Fresno. It was through her hands on experience with patients as a Certified Massage Therapist that she was inspired to further her education, choosing the field physical therapy. Erica attended both Merced Junior College and Sacramento City College, where she completed the course of study to become a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant in 2011.
Her passion for helping others stemmed from a profound relationship with her grandparents, witnessing first hand the decline of their health. She longed to help them and others, thus, catapulting her career in the medical field.
When she isn’t working Erica enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She is known to take spontaneous trips to the beach, the mountains, or to San Francisco for a Giants baseball game.
