Emma is a board-certified pelvic rehabilitation practitioner (PRPC) who specialized in treating women’s pelvic health diagnoses including pre/post-natal conditions, chronic pelvic pain, bladder/bowel incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and bowel dysfunction. She graduated from the University of Mary with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2020. Emma obtained her Certified Athletic Training credentials in 2017 which has significantly impacted her approach in providing high level individualized care for the active women whether there are pelvic floor dysfunctions with workouts or wanting to get back into working out postpartum. She also has experience treating a wide variety of orthopedic and sports related conditions, specifically post-concussion.
Emma has taken multiple continuing education courses in pelvic pain, trauma informed care, visceral mobilization, pregnancy/postpartum, and rehabilitative diagnostic ultrasound along with general women’s health courses addressing urinary/bowel incontinence/urgency/frequency and constipation. Outside of pelvic health, she had diversified her knowledge taking level 1 courses in lymphatic drainage techniques, Graston, functional dry needling, and select functional movement assessment. Emma continues to grow and expand her knowledge with goals of achieving BirthFit Leader training and pelvic floor dry needling.
Outside of the clinic, Emma loves spending time with her husband, Stephen, and son, Thomas, at their country home. She enjoys helping on her family farm, staying active, and spending time outdoors including camping, going to the lake, and spending quality time with family and friends. During quiet times, you will find her curled up on the couch reading a mindless fiction book with a cup of coffee in hand.
“Being a physical therapist gives me a unique opportunity to enter patient’s lives that have been altered by pain or dysfunctions. I have the ability to take time, listen to the individual’s story, and work with them to create an individualized treatment plan that aligns with their goals. Nothing is more exciting in my workday than having a patients share their successes with me.”
