How can we help you?
Back pain
A new flare-up, persistent pain or a worrying scan can make everyday movement feel uncertain. We help you work toward more comfortable sitting, walking, lifting and exercise.
Neck pain
When turning your head, sleeping or getting through work hurts, we look for movements and practical changes that help—and build toward the exercise and activities you miss.
Bone health & Bone Builder
Build strength and confidence for daily life. Choose individual PT for a personal bone-health plan, or Bone Builder for coached lifting, balance and a supportive group.

Understand what helps. Practice it together. Build from there.
Dr. Emily has practiced physical therapy since 2012. Her McKenzie credential and background in neurological rehabilitation inform how we assess movement and explain pain; her BoneFit training informs how we coach strength for bone health. Meet Dr. Emily and explore her training.
McKenzie assessment
We test how selected movements change your symptoms and a task that matters, such as standing up or turning your head. That helps us choose the direction and amount to practice together.
Pain education
A flare-up or a worrying scan can make movement feel risky. We explain what your findings mean and practice a manageable next step, so you can begin building trust in your body again.
Strength for bone health
We draw on BoneFit training and LIFTMOR research to guide technique and progressive strength work. Bone Builder meets Tuesday and Thursday, noon–1 p.m., in Holladay.
Hands-on support when it fits: manual therapy and dry needling can complement your movement plan during in-person care. Explore our treatment methods.
