Focusing on sports physical therapy as her career goal, Emily is excited and determined to further in education in this area while working with us.  “Therapy does not end when the athlete is released back into the game. It is an ongoing protocol where we need to focus on perfecting form in various drills to help prevent re-injury. I’m excited to be there for my athletes every step of the way to be back in their sport and better than ever!”
