Originally from the Allison Park area, Emily graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2011 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Rehabilitation Sciences. Afterward, she left western Pennsylvania to attend Duke University’s School of Medicine in North Carolina where she received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2014.

 

Emily now lives in the city of Pittsburgh with her fiancé and pup, where she joined The Orthopedic Group in 2015. She works primarily in the Mount Lebanon/St. Clair office, though you may find her on occasion at TOG’s Jefferson Hills or Uniontown offices.

 

Her current interests reside in rehabilitation and prevention of orthopedic injuries. Emily works with a diverse population utilizing manual therapy techniques, instruction in self-management, and progressive exercise programs to promote recovery. Away from physical therapy, Emily enjoys hiking and camping, playing soccer and ultimate frisbee, and performing on the trumpet.
