Boris gladun, PT, MPT    -    Physical Therapist

I have been a Physical Therapist for about 25 years, nearly all of them in the Lakewood and University Place areas after graduating from the University of Puget Sound School of Physical Therapy.

I genuinely love being a physical therapist and working directly with people; it is something I have always had a passion for. I believe that physical therapists have a tremendously important role in providing education, reassurance, and helping people achieve their goals to improve their function and quality of life.

It is a privilege to treat people and help them realize their physical potential and wellness goals.

Back in my “previous life,” I was honored to be a cycling coach at the “LokoSphinx” Cycling Olympic Center in St. Petersburg, Russia. I have run a marathon and competed in a few triathlons, which allows me to relate to my patients. In my spare time, I enjoy running, skiing, diving, rooting for the Sounders, Seahawks, and now Kraken, traveling, and spending time with my family.

Credentials:

• Master’s degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, WA: 1999

• Bachelor of Arts in Exercise Science/Coaching from Lesgaft National State University of Physical Education, Sports, and Health, St Petersburg, Russia: 1991

Hayley Salcedo, DPT - Physical Therapist

I am a transplant from Pennsylvania and moved here in 2020 after graduating from Lebanon Valley College with Doctorate of Physical Therapy.

Being a physical therapist is extremely rewarding because I get to spend time with patients of different backgrounds, build a connection, and watch them improve. I love exploring the beautiful state of Washington with my daughter, husband, and dog!

Dlana JOyner, OTR/L - Hand Therapist, Occupational Therapist

I was born and raised in the PNW with a notable 3 year stint in Europe in the mid ’70s. I have a small close family ages ranging from 2 y/o to 83! We enjoy getting together frequently at my brother’s farm on the Olympic Peninsula.

As an occupational therapist I worked in home health as well as acute and sub-acute rehabilitation for several years before transitioning to outpatient rehabilitation and hand therapy. Moved to Washington in 2010 and have worked outpatient care with focus primarily in hand therapy and work injury.

I greatly enjoy working closely with my clients to help them heal and regain function. I ‘landed’ at Complete Physical & Hand Therapy in 2021.  I am comfortable and happy with the atmosphere that is conducive to professional growth and patient centered care at CPT.

Meilani Kim, OTR/L - Hand Therapist, Occupational Therapist

My name is Meilani. I’m an occupational therapist. One of my clinical rotation was at Complete Physical & Hand Therapy which has now paved the way to working here full time!

Occupational therapy is an incredibly gratifying profession. I love engaging in conversations with my patients, getting to know them, and aiding them in their journey to wellness brings me much joy! I enjoy every moment of it and looking forward to every treatment session.

During my personal time I enjoy watching dramas, reading novels and anime, and cherishing moments spent with my family.

Tobias Herrarte, COTA/L - Occupational Therapy Assistant

My name is Tobias Herrarte, but many people call me Toby. I am a licensed Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant.

I’m excited to begin my journey at Complete Physical & Hand Therapy helping people get back to their active lifestyles. Through my previous experiences and volunteer work, I have seen the impact that a warm, kind demeanor and an empathetic, open communication style can have to facilitate a positive patient/therapist relationship. Together we work to achieve patients’ recovery goals.

My objective is to assure that every patient leaving an appointment feels better than they did when they arrived.

During my time away from work, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing and watching sports, playing video games, and bike riding.

Kayla Weyerhaeuser, PT, DPT - Physical Therapist

I have been a physical therapist for almost 10 years. My favorite part of this job is creating a plan of care specific to the individual needs of my patient. It brings me joy to watch my patients relearn their function and gain physical skills for a return to a healthy and productive lifestyle.

I have a passion for helping people and when I am not working at Complete Physical Therapy- I spend time volunteering in various ways in our Tacoma/Lakewood/University Place community.

I am a mother to two energetic little boys that keep me on my toes most days. I enjoy spending time with my family exploring our city, taking vacations, going on walks. I also enjoy working out and you can find me at Orange Theory Fitness these days.

Honorable Mention: Tara Roebuck

Tara has been a volunteer when in high school, then a physical therapy aid working while on breaks from college, front office coordinator, and finally an office manager. She has been our first Office Manager at Complete Physical Therapy and has seen our clinic going through construction, scheduled our very first patients, and has been a tireless smiling presence since day 1. To summarize, she helped us to establish our unique Complete Physical Therapy culture. Tara is further pursuing her medical education and now studying to be a Physician Assistant. We are forever grateful for her presence, her attitude, and her smile.

Thank you Tara!!!
