A little more about Emily: 
Emily received her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She went on to receive her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from UW-Madison as she wasn’t quite ready yet to leave her love for cheese, the Madison lakes, and the Packers. Following a year as a travel PT, she moved back to Minnesota, her home state, to work in the Twin Cities in outpatient orthopedics. She specialized in work with runners, low back, hip, and pelvic pain. After sitting for her Certified Orthopedic Specialist exam, she decided to further specialize in pelvic floor physical therapy and continued to advance her orthopedic manual skills through ongoing coursework.
