My name is Cynthia Reed but you are welcome to call me Ce. Ocala is my home as I have lived in the area since I was 5 years old when my family moved here from Indiana. I am a 2017 graduate of the COTA program at Keiser University in Daytona Beach, Florida. While I may be a recent grad, I have over 25 years of experience in rehab, most of that as a rehab technician in hand therapy. I am very excited to be part of the Brit Therapy team to serve the Ocala community and surrounding areas. I love fabricating custom splints, educating patients and walking them through the rehab journey. My background includes working with traumatic injuries to the upper extremities, wound care, stroke, burns, work hardening/ modification, amputees, edema control and adaptive equipment. I am a firm believer in a very "hands on" approach to therapy( pun intended, because humor helps) and that with persistence, guidance and creativity you can always improve your circumstances despite setbacks or injury.
