The Wellness Station is excited to announce the addition of Jacob Tyson, Doctor of Physical Therapy, to the team! Jacob is a recent graduate from UNC-Chapel Hill and will be working with Paul McAndrew to provide integrative health and wellness services to help you create a pain-free, active, and healthy life.

The following is a note from Jacob:

My name is Jacob Tyson, and I am a physical therapist and yoga instructor from Chapel Hill, NC. I am passionate about integrating mindful movement and other wellness practices with traditional physical therapy to provide holistic health solutions.
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Cognitive Science from the University of Virginia and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the UNC-Chapel Hill. I also have a background in yoga, Feldenkrais method, and neuroscience.
I am fascinated by the interaction between the mind and body- how affect, behavior, and cognitive processes have physical manifestations, and vice versa. My clinical interests are in chronic musculoskeletal conditions, chronic pain, chronic stress, neurological and balance disorders, lifestyle diseases, exercise-related injuries, and preventive care to optimize health over the long term.
I want to be able to spend ample time getting to know each of my patients as individuals in a supportive, low stress environment in order to determine the most effective ways to help them reach their goals. By striving to address the root causes of illness, I will help empower people to take control of their health to enhance their quality of life.
When I am not practicing or learning about these topics, you may find me hiking, reading, trying out new recipes, or playing with my kitty.
I am extremely excited to join The Wellness Station and serve the community as an Integrative Physical Therapist! I look forward to meeting you soon!

Please give him a warm welcome!
