Francesca Scali
Francesca recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sports Science from Coastal Carolina University in South Carolina. She has hands-on experience in blood pressure measurements and stress tests and has taken classes in strength and conditioning and exercise physiology. So why chiropractic?
“I’ve always been interested in the whole medical aspect of life, but I have a big interest in rehab and like seeing patients go from not feeling amazing to feeling amazing.” While Francesca was always interested in physical therapy, she wanted to branch out and see if she could grow into being a chiropractor. “So I’m very interested to see what I can learn here.”
