Physical therapists, Blake Williams and Arista Hott, are new to Texarkana and excited to bring the community to new opportunities for wellness. The pair will soon open their clinic, On the Minute Health & Physical Therapy, which will specialize in pain management, prevention, and personalized care for everyone–from athletes to spectators.
Blake and Arista received their doctorates in physical therapy at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences. Blake is originally from the northeast and received his B.S. in exercise science from Towson University; Arista earned her B.S. in exercise physiology from Valdosta State University and grew up in Woodstock, GA.
The story to tell, though, is of how they ended up in Texarkana, given all the places in the nation they could have chosen to settle.
Blake came here to Texarkana in 2019 before he had even met Arista. He was sent here for training for his physical therapy school, and he fell in love with the town and people. When he met Arista while they were both acquiring their doctorate degrees at St. Augustine University, she told him she wanted to live in a big city one day. They jumped around different places, including Houston, TX, El Paso, TX, and even Juneau, Alaska. Blake finally convinced Arista to visit Texarkana after they grew tired of chasing the perfect big city. When they came here for her to see what it was like, she ended up loving it—specifically the people!
Blake knew she would love it because it has so much to do that aligns with both of their interests; outdoor activities, fitness, food, and community! To welcome and connect with Blake and Arista, stop by 4107 Richmond Pl, Unit B, Texarkana, TX 75503 when you get a chance! Learn more.
