Get to Know Emily

Emily, originally from Northern California, embarked on her dance journey at the age of three and later pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance at Dominican University. Her own struggle with a stress fracture during college ignited her passion for dancer-specific physical therapy and helping performers recover safely. After spending six years as a professional dancer at Disneyland, Emily earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Hanover College and now provides specialized physical therapy care for dancers and active individuals. She focuses on treating dancer-specific injuries, particularly of the knees, ankles, and hips, to help patients return to the stage, sport, or activities they love with confidence. Outside of work, she enjoys teaching dance, exploring local BBQ spots, and going to the beach with her dog, Rocky. Emily is dedicated to helping active individuals return to their passions, relieve pain, and feel comfortable moving again through personalized, movement-focused physical therapy care.
