Grace Iocca, PT, DPT, is with the Springfield Clinic Rehabilitation Services team..

Grace earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from North Central College in Naperville, Ill., and her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Illinois-Springfield.

Surrounded by nurses in her family, Grace quickly knew that a career in health care was for her. Playing soccer is what led her to become a physical therapist. "Not only did my physical therapist help me recover and return to the game, but they also introduced me to a field that combined everything I love—from anatomy to caring for people," she says.

In her role, Grace is focused on helping her patients on their personal journey and achieving their goals. "Every story is unique and being able to support patients through the rehabilitation process and celebrate alongside them as they make progress is the most rewarding part of what I do," she says.

In her free time, Grace enjoys spending time with her husband and their daughter as well as other family members. She also enjoys cozy nights in and going to Chicago Cubs games.
