👋🏼 Help us welcome our newest Compass PTA, Ilia! ✨
Born in Bulgaria and raised in the U.S., Ilia’s journey into physical therapy began after a Taekwondo injury that introduced him to the power of rehab. That experience sparked a passion for helping others heal, and in 2020 he graduated from Athens Technical College as a Physical Therapist Assistant.
Since then, Ilia has been serving patients in the outpatient setting with energy, encouragement, and a genuine love for seeing people reach their goals.
When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll probably find him staying active at the gym, on the tennis or pickleball court, teaching Taekwondo, or cheering on Barcelona. ⚽️ He’s also a talented musician who plays guitar, sings bass in his church choir, and enjoys music production. 🎶
We’re so excited to have Ilia on the Compass team—make sure to say hi when you see him!
