Onboarding Physical Therapist
I grew up in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, where sports and athletics were always a big part of my life. Football, basketball, and tennis were my primary sports, although a shoulder surgery and two knee surgeries during my high school years eventually led me to explore other activities, including soccer and golf. I continued competing in college tennis in Philadelphia, earning the No. 1 singles position by my senior year, along with MVP honors and recognition on the All-Pennsylvania Athletic Conference Team.
Having experienced firsthand the challenges of three significant injuries, surgeries, and the recovery process, I developed a deep appreciation for the impact physical therapy can have on someone’s ability to return to the activities they love. Those experiences ultimately inspired me to pursue physical therapy as my life’s calling.
I earned my Master’s degree in Physical Therapy from Arcadia University in Philadelphia and later completed my Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.
Throughout my 28-year career, I have had the privilege of leading and managing several orthopedic and sports medicine clinics before taking the entrepreneurial leap and opening my own practice in 2011. What began as a single office grew into three locations, and I was fortunate to build a successful practice and help countless patients along the way. The toll of managing an insurance based practice prompted me to sell a majority interest in the business in 2022, allowing me to pursue the next chapter of my professional journey.
I am thrilled to be part of The Movement Schopp, where I can return my focus to what inspired me to become a physical therapist in the first place: helping people get back to doing what they love. I believe patients deserve individualized attention, dedicated care, and a treatment approach focused on meaningful, lasting results. Being part of a practice where clinical decisions are driven by what is best for the patient is exactly where I want to be.
