About Emily: “Growing up, I was a very active person involved in athletics and dance, but it wasn’t until my first anatomy lab that I realized my love for the mechanics of the human body and decided to pursue a career in the medical field. I chose the field of physical therapy because of its holistic and hands-on approach to treating pain and correcting movement dysfunctions. When I began working in a PT office as a tech, I discovered that it was also a discipline where I could develop close relationships with my patients and play a role in their journey to recovery. It is tremendously rewarding to see a patient go from a debilitated state to a maximally functioning state and celebrate the incremental wins together along the way! I truly believe in the saying “health is the greatest wealth.” It is my goal to help decrease the burden of injury and illness and replace it with mobility, strength, and patient confidence. I strive to arm my patients with the knowledge and skills needed to maintain the level of fitness desired so that they can get back to living their fullest life.”
