MEET THE TEAM AT Hope Therapy and Wellness
Susan Irby, PT, DPT
Susan Irby is the proud owner and a physical therapist at Hope Therapy and Wellness. Susan is the wife of Kirby Irby and mother to two cute little boys, Henry and Hardy. She enjoys doing anything outside with her family and can be found on the river if it is warm enough.
"I love what I do. I know the Lord called me to be a physical therapist when I was young, and He has worked in my life to lead me to where I am today. I get to love on people and give them hope when they feel like things aren't going to get better. Seeing a kid play the last game of their senior year or watching a patient smile for the first time in months because their pain is gone and their joy is back, that's my favorite part. That's why I have such a passion for my job. I may be just a PT to some but to some people, I can make a big difference."
