Erin is an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) with over 15 years of clinical experience. Before moving to NC 2 years ago, she practiced in New Jersey, and had the privilege of working with some of the top orthopedic surgeons in the New York City area. She has earned a reputation for exceptional physical therapy outcomes even when other conservative treatment approaches have failed. She earned her Master of Science in Physical Therapy from Springfield College in Massachusetts and her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Massachusetts General Hospital. Erin is certified in Trigger Point Dry Needling (TDN) and is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS).
Erin particularly enjoys getting patients “back in business” whether their goal is competitive sports, recreational activities, gardening or playing with grandkids. She has recently begun training in the philosophies of the Postural Restoration Institute and is eager to further her education in that approach. She has lectured on topics including the benefits of exercise in managing diabetes, ACL injury prevention, lifetime strategies for back and spine health, and how to reduce the risk of shoulder injury in adolescent throwing and overhead athletes.
When not in the clinic, Erin is a busy mother of two young girls. She and her husband, Eric, a Raleigh native, relocated to the area since it is a great place to raise a family. They enjoy hiking, biking, skiing and camping.
