Biography:

Layla Santos, PT, DPT

LOCATION: SPT – Canyon Park

I was born and raised in Mililani, Hawaii, but I have been in Tacoma, WA since 2018 where I attended University of Puget Sound. There, I received both my Bachelors degree in Exercise Science and my Doctorate of Physical Therapy while also being able to continue my soccer career. While in my graduate program, I was also fortunate enough to coach kids recreational soccer in my free time and it is definitely something I would love to continue in the future. I am still very active whether that is going to the gym to lift, going to pilates classes, playing pickleball, or playing other sports like soccer or basketball. Other things I like to do in my free time include watching tv shows, going to concerts, going to sports games, being out in the sun or around the water, or even just getting together with friends to have potlucks with local foods. As a therapist, I love being able to connect with people and learning about their stories to bring individualized care to each of my patients and get them back to what they love doing most!
