PSL HEALTH CENTER - Key Persons
Dr. George Blackwell didn't start his career as a chiropractor. He actually began as a personal trainer in a commercial gym. With his personal training certification and background in bio mechanics, Dr. Blackwell loved helping his clients achieve their fitness goals and was fascinated by the human body.
However, he noticed one of his co-workers, a trainer named James, outshone the rest of their colleagues in terms of anatomical knowledge. Dr. Blackwell finally discovered that James was in school to become a chiropractor; another great way to improve people's health and wellness.
Dr. Blackwell was interested in following in his friend's footsteps to become a chiropractor. The idea of being able to help people with their physical pain was incredibly appealing, however George was overwhelmed by the years of schooling required to become a licensed chiropractor. Then his friend said something that would change his life. "The time will pass no matter what."
Dr. George Blackwell started his journey to becoming a chiropractor and signed up to take his pre-requisite courses that very same day!
After having children, Dr. Scalabrin decided to make a career change and began a job working in a physical therapy clinic. There she found a passion for helping patients recover from injury and return to the sports and activities that bring them joy. She went on to pursue her doctorate in Physical Therapy, graduating with high honors from the University of St Augustine in 2017, with a focus on spine stabilization along with orthopedic and manual therapy.
Dr. Natasha Jackson began her studies at University of Florida to acquire her Bachelor's in Exercise and Sports Sciences. She relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, where she grew a passion for physical health and wellness, eventually starting her own in-home personal training company, Defined Changes, in 2006. After years of working with clients that were limited with personal training due to physical ailments, she decided to further her education, and in 2011 she graduated with her Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree from Emory University.
For over a decade, Dr. Jackson has practiced physical therapy in multiple settings, including acute care hospitals, outpatient clinics, and home health. In late 2020, Dr. Jackson founded Starting Pointe Therapy and Wellness, an outpatient clinic that offers orthopedic and women's health physical therapy and wellness services to Florida's Treasure Coast.
