Joelle Shoemaker has been a licensed physical therapist since 1995, bringing over 30 years of experience in outpatient orthopedic care. Throughout her career, she has treated thousands of patients ranging from professional athletes and youth sports competitors to active adults and post-surgical patients.

Her continuing education has focused heavily on functional movement and restoring proper movement patterns. While she values manual therapy techniques, her true passion lies in helping patients regain the strength, confidence, and mobility needed to return to the activities they love most.

Outside the clinic, Joelle is an avid recreational runner and values the strong sense of connection and support she has found within her gym community. Staying active has always been a central part of her life, and it continues to inspire her passion for helping others return to their previous level of activity and performance.

Joelle is thrilled to be part of the Rausch Team. She strongly believes patients deserve individualized, one-on-one care throughout their rehabilitation journey—something that has become increasingly rare in outpatient therapy settings. She is excited to help bring that personalized approach back to patient care and looks forward to helping patients move better, feel stronger, and return to the activities they enjoy most.
