Our Story
Momentum’s story begins when founder and CEO, Lesha Dickerson, knew she had to do more to directly impact patients in her community of Pueblo, Colorado. Her healthcare career in marketing and management earned her a reputation for always doing the right thing for her patients. But after over a decade on the administrative side, she felt the large healthcare corporations didn’t know what was happening with individual patients at the local level.
In 2010, Lesha took action. She returned to school to pursue her physical therapist assistant degree to be a part of hands-on patient care. Lesha’s strong desire to focus on patient care and helping them get better led her to search for companies with a similar passion. However, she couldn’t find any that met her level of commitment for excellent outcomes. That’s when Lesha decided to look into options for starting her own business in Pueblo. In August of 2016, Momentum Physical Therapy opened its doors. Their reputation for results-oriented patient care led to a booming business! Momentum Physical Therapy opened a second clinic in 2017 and a third clinic in 2020.
