ABOUT US

A Story of Performance & Movement

OUR BEGINNING

About Our Founder

Born and raised right here in Tuscaloosa, Eric Booth, PT, DPT has a deep-rooted passion for serving his hometown community as the owner of Tusk Physical Therapy. His journey in healthcare and athletics came full circle in 2023 when he relocated back home to plant permanent roots and bring passionate care to the local community.

Eric’s lifelong connection to area sports began with childhood baseball at Kentuck Park and Holy Spirit Catholic School, extending through his years playing football, basketball, and baseball at Tuscaloosa County High School and Tuscaloosa Academy. After earning the opportunity to play collegiate baseball at Gadsden State, he returned home to complete his undergraduate education at the University of Alabama in 2012. He immediately pursued his graduate studies at the Medical College of Georgia, graduating with his Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree in 2015.

Before founding Tusk Physical Therapy, Eric spent over a decade practicing and holding multiple healthcare leadership and clinic management positions throughout Alabama and Georgia. He is excited to bring that extensive clinical expertise and leadership back home to provide top-tier, collaborative care to Tuscaloosa residents.

Outside of the clinic, Eric met his wife, Mallory, while both attended Medical College of Georgia. Together, they are the proud parents of four wonderful daughters. Eric has a passion for classic cars and not so small projects around the house. As a sports enthusiast Eric has traded the baseball diamond in for the tennis court and enjoys being an active member of Tuscaloosa’s robust local tennis community.
