In 2012, she earned her Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy from EIM Institute of Health Professions.

Adriana is currently enrolled in a post-doctorate fellowship in orthopedic and manual physical therapy , with an emphasis in research and education. Her professional expertise includes treating patients with orthopedic, post-surgical, and sports related injuries. Adriana has a special interest in ankle/foot disorders, as well as, knee and shoulder pathology. She's also a Certified Clinical Instructor and Coordinator for Clinical Education in her private practice. Other personal interests include competitive Powerlifting and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. She is currently training for a powerlifting competition and also growing her skills as a jiu jitsu competitor. She iI decided to open up my own, very small (just me!) physical therapy private practice at the beginning of 2018 after working for 9 years in other private clinics in the Santa Cruz area. It was one of the scariest things I've ever done, but after I did I couldn't help but wonder "Why didn't I do this sooner?" I now get to treat patients one-on-one (no aides, no assistants) for AS LONG as I want. It truly is a dream come true, and I could not be happier. ​. ​A few months after that I embarked on another business adventure with my husband, Raul Quintero to open up Jiu Jitsu Therapy (picture on the bottom left), and to have another space for a second physical therapy office! We decided to do this in Watsonville because there is not a lot of options/access to physical therapy there. Also being that there are lot of monolingual Spanish speakers in Watsonville, and I speak Spanish, well it just made sense :)
