    "I first got in contact with with Emily when I got invited to attempt the circus dumbbell world record in strongwoman. She came up with a structured plan to keep my entire body healthy, not just my shoulder. I found several areas that I had been neglecting. This allowed me to train harder and recover faster. She has always taken the time to listen and ask all the questions trying to get to the root of the problem. She genuinely cares about her clients. "

    "Emily came to the CrossFit Games when I competed in 2023 to help provide me the treatment I needed to fully recover after a long day of competition. This helped me to feel and compete at my best. She's not only talented, but she also cares so much about your progress and wants you to be your healthiest self!"

    "Therapy with Emily was great! Her care has allowed me to recover from tweaks and injuries over the years much quicker and get to training full speed much sooner."
  • Tim Allison

    As a powerlifter, I often deal with shoulder restrictions that limit my range of motion, especially in the bench press and overhead movements. These issues can make training uncomfortable and affect my ability to lift at full capacity.
    Dr. Emily has been incredible. She not only understands the demands of powerlifting but also takes a hands-on, individualized approach to address my specific needs. Every session is focused, effective, and immediately beneficial. After each session I am able to see a drastic change in my range of motion.
    Each time I see Dr. Emily, I notice an immediate improvement in my shoulder mobility. Leading up to my biggest powerlifting competition, the Arnold Classic, she worked on me which helped me move better and stay pain-free. I was able to hit a 520lbs on my bench press (13lbs PR) at the competition! Having that extra care prior to the competition helped give me the confidence to execute at a high level. 
    Without a doubt, I’d highly recommend Dr. Emily to any athlete who needs targeted therapy to stay strong, mobile, and pain-free. She knows exactly how to keep athletes performing at their best.
