Our staff

---

 I have been a Physical Therapist for over 30 years, and I have practiced in home health, nursing homes, outpatient clinic and hospital setting. On April 1, 2023, I opened up an outpatient clinic, Across All Ages Physical Therapy, LLC, which treats a variety of patients including but not limited to orthopedic, neurological, chronic conditions, balance and vertigo, cancer patients, and workers compensation. I specialize in athletes, pediatrics, and women's health. I treat all ages from one day old's and beyond. I can provide wheelchair assessments and assist with equipment needs. At Across All Ages Physical Therapy, LLC, we provide one on one care and treat every patient as if they were a member of our family.  

 I have been a PTA for 45 years, and I graduated from Southwest Illinois College. I have 30 years experience working with children and adults with all levels of developmental disabilities. For 15 of those years, I worked exclusively with children having severe to profound disabilities. I've had extensive experience with ordering and maintaining medical equipment such as wheelchairs, orthotics, and standers. In my free time, I volunteer several hours a week at church, enjoy playing the keyboard, and enjoy doing projects on the computer.  

Hi! I am Stephanie McQuade, and I am a Physical Therapist Assistant. In 2012, I earned an Associates of Applied Sciences degree through Kaskaskia College. I worked for a number of years in the general workforce before my interest in Physical Therapy. My son was injured playing football and needed therapy for his knee. I thought to myself, “I can do this!” That is why I chose this path.

I have worked with a variety of patients of all ages and settings. I spent many years working in an outpatient clinic. Besides that, I gained experience providing PT in a school, skilled nursing facility, and in home health. Much of my time working was spent helping families receiving Early Intervention Services (Birth to 3 years) for their child. I am most rewarded when the patients meet their goals and return to activities they enjoy.

Outside of work I enjoy good old country living: gardening, cooking, listening to music, helping in the

fields, and spending time with my family and friends.
