  • My Background

    My name is Rachel - I'm a physical therapist, recreational athlete, wife, and mom of 2 wild boys. I'm here because I've been there! I've been where you are - and I want to use what I know to help you perform at your best.


    I graduated with honors from Georgia Tech with a degree in chemistry then graduated with my doctorate in physical therapy. Since then, I've obtained my certification as a strength and conditioning specialist as well as a performance and sport scientist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. I'm certified in dry needling and specialize in orthopedics/sports medicine as well as pelvic health.


    I am the author of the first peer-reviewed exercise protocol for pregnant and postpartum athletes which is now published in the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy. I've been nominated for the Sports Medicine Rehabilitation specialist of the year award through the NSCA as well as Georgia Tech's "40 Under 40" class. I'm also the founder of Stirrups to Situps - an app designed to guide women through their postnatal recoveries. I'm adamant about a lot of things - one of them is that motherhood and athleticism are not mutually exclusive.  I'm also adamant that you deserve the best care. I'll be with you every step of the way - I'll also be sure to tell you when you're ready to fly on your own!


    My patients get better in fewer visits because of the time I'm able to give - your appointment time is for YOU and you only. I treat all orthopedic conditions and am looking forward to helping you perform at your best whether that means picking up your grandkids, PR'ing your next Ironman, or both! Let's get to work!

"Not only has Rachel been my PT, but I have had the privilege of working along side her as the owner of a yoga studio. She is incredibly knowledgeable and is able to teach in a clear and concise way. She taught a workshop at the studio and students left with immediate techniques to apply to daily life. Cannot recommend Rachel enough!! She is thorough, wise, approachable, and kind. Hands down the best PT I have ever been to."

"Rachel not only worked to improve my complicated diagnosis, she helped me navigate the medical system and advocated for me to other providers, reached out to and collaborated with other specialists for my care, and created a safe place where I felt truly cared for. She provided me the hope I needed to keep pursuing answers and never let me give up on getting better. She goes above and beyond for her patients and improves their lives exponentially as a result of her driven and compassionate service."

"A traumatic shoulder injury led to limited mobility and pain - not just in my shoulder, but also in my neck and back. Rachel's patient expertise and determined resolve helped me gain range of motion in addition to teaching me techniques for pain reduction."
