He graduated from South University and has since worked in various medical settings and treated a wide range of diagnoses such as Parkinson’s, CVA, and various balance conditions, with a great deal of experience with vestibular deficits.

In his mind it is his job as a physical therapist to not only facilitate his patients’ recovery by providing the right exercises and interventions, but also by easing the frustration and stress that comes with their conditions.

Carlos Aguilar LPTA, PTA

Carlos Aguilar LPTA, PTA graduated from South University in 2012 and recently completed his Bachelor’s Degree in Health Sciences with Keiser University in 2022. With 11 years of experience in the physical therapy field, Carlos has worked in multiple settings including inpatient, home health, skilled nursing, and as an independent contractor working at multiple clinics learning different techniques to maximize his quality of care. Outpatient Physical Therapy is the setting he is the most passionate about. He has experience working with patients with chronic pain, sports injuries, car accident injuries, and pre and post-operative physical therapy.

He loves to help his patients decrease their pain, restore their mobility, improve their strength, and balance to help them reach their personal goals. He believes education on body mechanics and ergonomics is important for injury prevention along with constant maintenance of exercising to prevent injury. “ Maintain what you’ve Gained” is his motto. His approach is big on manual therapy and is working on becoming a certified Mulligan Concept Practitioner. Carlos believes bedside manner and education are as important as the quality of care in the clinical setting since we are dealing with an overall individual and not just a single body part. He strives to maximize results while making sure all of his patient’s needs and questions are answered in a prompt manner. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, taking his 6-year-old son to his soccer games and swim classes, and brushing up on his skillset to become a better clinician.

Saylor Physical Therapy | Wellington | DiAmond Jordan, LPTA, PTA, B.A.

DiAmond Jordan, LPTA, PTA, B.A.

DiAmond Jordan, LPTA, PTA, B.A., spent her childhood and adolescence in rural Alabama excelling both in the classroom and on the softball field. A high-school knee injury resulted in months of physical rehabilitation, and more importantly, ignited a lifelong passion for healing the human body and the unique ability of physical therapy to restore someone to a higher quality of life.

DiAmond graduated from South University in 2014 and spent nearly 5 years in the outpatient clinical setting treating a myriad of physical limitations from low back pain, pre & post-op joint replacements, and various neurological diseases. Following years in the outpatient setting, she transitioned to treating patients in the home setting to bring much-needed treatment interventions to patients who weren’t physically capable of going into a clinic for treatment. Also having a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, DiAmond integrates the mind-body connection into her treatment programs in conjunction with exemplary manual and soft tissue techniques to achieve optimal results for each patient.

When not working in the clinic with patients, DiAmond often spends time doing community outreach to promote improved health and wellness and thoroughly enjoys spending quality time with loved ones.

“After dislocating my knee, tearing multiple ligaments, and fracturing my Tibia playing tackle football, it seemed like everyone told me my career as an athlete was over. Eight months and 2 surgeries later, not only do I have full flexion in my knee, I am also back in my cleats on the field. I owe it all to the staff at Saylor Physical Therapy. Many thanks!!!! ”

Hileia F. - Wellington

“I came to Saylor Physical Therapy with shoulder pain and lack of mobility in my left shoulder. I was taking medication for relief. After eight sessions I was no longer in pain and had increased my range of motion. Not only was the pain gone but I had exercises that I could continue on my own. When I started working with the therapist my goal was to no longer need medication for my pain and that goal was reached.”

Judy A. - Wellington

“I have really enjoyed my experience here at Saylor PT. Everyone was so nice to me from the first day I walked in. Eric Ford is a great person. He knows his stuff. I have come a long ways. I couldn’t even lift my arm when I first came. Thanks to Eric I can lift it over my head. I have all my motion now. I am so thankful that I came here. I will miss everyone.”
