Analla Compton

PTA
Physical Therapist Assistant

I am originally from Joplin, MO. My family moved west when I was young, and I grew up in Arizona and New Mexico. I returned to Southwest MO after high school and completed my PTA degree at NEO A&M in Miami, OK.

I’ve been a PTA for 17 years. I spent most of that time in hospital and inpatient settings, with short periods here and there in outpatient clinics. I am looking forward to getting back into a clinic setting.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. -Oscar Wilde

Patient education is one of my favorite things. I like to help patients understand the why and how behind their treatment plan and goals.

I would love to eliminate the amount of repetitive paperwork and forms patients often have to deal with in healthcare. I also like to determine and provide the care patients need, not just what insurance says they do.

I like the community and family feel of a small town clinic. It gives you more freedom to provide what the patient needs with less red tape.

What Analla likes to watch and read?
Friends, The Office, Big Bang Theory
Too many books to count. I love to read!

I spend a lot of time at various ball games and practices with my kids. I like to run and read when I find time for myself.

Patient Testimonials

Great people who give great care! -Tina Jarvis

Willard Physical Therapy Center did an excellent job helping me with my lower back issues. Always greeted me with their friendly staff, very punctual , and professional . All the physical therapist who worked with me were amazing. They explained everything to me, answered my questions, and listened to my feedback. I dramatically improved over the course of 3 months!! I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs increased mobility and a better quality of life!!

The time spent at the Willard Physical Therapy was not only physically helpful but also emotionally helpful. Due to, once you go there, it’s like going to Olive Garden. We all become family!! -Mary Marbut
