Testimonials
I feel so fortunate to have found Emily when I needed physical therapy. As her clinic name implies, Emily draws from a broad range of modalities to create an individualized treatment plan appropriate to each patient, rather than relying on a one-approach-fits-all style.
Emily is strongly involved in her community and has a wide range of contacts on which to call when necessary. At one point I needed to be referred out and she realized this immediately. She recommended a wonderful physician who was more than pleased to coordinate with her regarding my ongoing care.
While Emily’s technical knowledge is most impressive, she is also a gifted teacher. Her encouragement of me to engage with my own healing process has changed the way I relate to my body, and that has improved my life beyond simply healing from my injury. Besides her clinical expertise, she’s a lovely, warm, caring person and is fun to be around. Emily has made recovery a joy instead of a chore.

I have suffered with headaches for years and truly thought that was just the way my body was built. I had tried everything else and all kinds of pain killers but they always came back. One session of CranioSacral Therapy with Emily at Shine gave me relief that I didn't think was possible!

I have degenerative spine disorder, 4 rods in my back and chronic pain. This is the first place I have been that has actually helped me. The pain level has gone from levels 7-8 to 3 out of 10. Emily is not only knowledgable but she has a great sense of humor and is a delight to be with. I have been to a lot of PT specialists; I tell you she is the best and most helpful of all.

I have been to many different PT's throughout my life and Emily is the best :). She is knowledgeable, experienced, fun, and kind. I have been impressed with her training on many different practices; she can provide you with the best care for what you need.

Emily has helped me with a couple of different problems and is always absolutely excellent. She looks to the cause and treats that not just the problem itself. I also had one medical problem that Emily could not help with and she was the first to admit that, whilst also making a great physician recommendation. I would recommend Emily to anyone who needs physical therapy.

I want to thank you for the tremendous change you have made in my life. When I first came to see you I had such severe sciatica there were times I could not even sit down. I had to take Vicodin but the excrutiating pain would still wake me up at night. Your approach in therapy was so positive and encouraging that I was happy to follow the take-home exercises. I looked forward to therapy in spite of some discomfort I might expect because of your joyful spirit and gentle manner. Each treatment session I saw improvement. I had greater mobility and decreasing pain. Today, I have absolutely no sciatic pain. You were able to identify a problem in my hip alignment that had been causing the pain and worked with me to correct it. I now have full range of motion and can walk, sit and sleep uninterrupted. What I appreciate as much if not even more, is your humanity. I was always so much more than muscles, bones and nerves. Your sensitivity and caring are beautiful gifts to your patients. Today I am well enough to be doing Yoga. You have helped me come so far!

I just wanted to let you know that I haven’t had to take any medications since last week and haven’t had a single headache. I am a craniosacral therapy convert! You’ve made such a big difference. I was really starting to think that I would be stuck taking those pills forever. I came in for my rotator cuff, and you fixed my head (and shoulder)! I’m sending my husband to you next. Thanks again!
