Teresa Glass Owens, ATP - President

Teresa began her CRT career in 1991 as a customer service/sales rep for United Medical. Her career path promptly became her passion: she received her RESNA ATS certification in 1995 and RESNA ATP 3 years later. She then worked for HealthCare Source as an ATP in Memphis, TN. In 2001 she opened Glass Seating and Mobility in Memphis and quickly expanded into Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas.

The following year, Teresa sold Glass Seating to United Seating and Mobility where she remained as Regional VP until she retired early in 2019 to spend more time with her family. Teresa missed working with CRT clients and a year later she started Freedom In Mobility in Huntsville, AL.

However, it is her mission, and that of her team, to create a stress-free process for clients, caregivers, and medical professionals in acquiring the specialized equipment tailored to individuals’ specific needs to maximize their health, function, and independence.
