Ana Ramirez - Office Manager
Ana was born and raised in Ojai, CA. She grew up in a small family alongside 3 older brothers. Ana enjoyed wrestling, playing football, and some soccer with them when they would let her. She was Inspired to enter the medical field by her mom, grandmother, and grandfather who always needed translation from English to Spanish during their healthcare appointments. Ana was always the one that would translate for them from the early age of 7 (yes 7!). After completing high school, Ana became a CNA (certified nurses assistant). Since then she has worked in many different medical settings which has greatly expanded her knowledge and encouraged her to continue to help provide great care to our community.

Ana is married with 5 boys "Yes nothing but boys!", said Ana, and 2 dogs. She is the proud mother of a son who is a Marine and feels great honor in being called a military mom. Ana says "My family and I love BBQing, watching football and camping. My goal in life is to encourage our children to become the best they can be while still creating memories. My heart and soul is at home with my family"
"Being the Office Manager at EQUILIBRIUM Physical Therapy provides me the opportunity to help people in our community access much needed care for the unique niche therapy services for dizziness, vertigo, balance issues and concussion management offered by our specialty practice through patient case management and positive team leadership for her staff". Ana believes this leadership style encourages her staff to provide the best care possible from the moment they call to initiate services, to the time of their discharge once they are better. "It has given me a sense of many rewards such as happiness, equality, and a sense of accomplishment, which I find very valuable, that I feel will in turn positively affect me in my role as Office Manager at EQUILIBRIUM Physical Therapy".
