Craig Moberly ’16, an exercise science major, is a Physical Therapist with Bluegrass Orthopaedics in Kentucky.
As a former collegiate athlete, Moberly understands the value of good care, strength and endurance. He found interest in this field while a student at Asbury.
“During my time at Asbury, I was a member of the Men’s Soccer program. This opportunity exposed me to several experiences which have greatly shaped my purpose and perspective as a professional. Once aspect of being a college athlete is teamwork. This is a vital skill to develop and sharpen as one goes into any field. The opportunity to participate in a mission trip is another experience that allowed me to learn, grow, love and serve others. These are very fond and influential memories,” said Moberly.
“Time in training and physical therapy provoked my interest in the field,” said the young alum. Members of the training staff were very supportive and full of knowledge, always giving encouragement and advice. I also had a professor who helped lead and challenge me to attend graduate school.”
Moberly has seen the impact of helping people regain their health, weaving his faith into these interactions.
“I enjoy this profession because I can develop relationships with each patient I encounter. Although I may not frequently discuss my faith with patients, I am able to be a vessel for Christ through my actions and interactions with these individuals,” he said. “I also enjoy being able to positively impact the quality of life of each patient I encounter.”
The coursework at Asbury enabled him to transition smoothly into Physical Therapy school.
“The academic rigor is designed to be challenging,” said the young alum. “This allows important life skills such as hard work and perseverance to be sharpened. Asbury is designed to prepare and inspire each class of graduates to go and make a difference throughout the world and spread the love of God. The value of having a professor who would pray with and for you, guide and direct you, and invest time in you was vital to my success post Asbury.”
