Pediatric Outpatient Physical Therapy

Hello! My name is Natalie and I have been a physical therapist for 8 years with a primary focus on early-intervention and school-based therapy. I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) from the University of Pittsburgh and a degree in Kinesiology from The Pennsylvania State University. I grew up in the Greensburg area where I currently live with my husband, 3-year-old daughter and newborn son. As a family we enjoy being active – spending time outdoors, bike riding, swimming, running, and playing with our Boston Terrier! My love for Physical Therapy blossomed alongside my Penn State college running career. As a collegiate athlete, I had the misfortune of needing physical therapy to treat a knee injury. While I worked with the therapist, I became fascinated by their skill and knowledge of the body. Each time I finished therapy, it was exciting to see and understand the progress that I made as a runner. As my experience grew over time, I developed a passion for working with the pediatric population. This passion, along with the specialized skills I earned throughout my education, allow me to be flexible and work with kiddos and parents alike to achieve their goals. I also recognize the importance of staying up to date with new strategies and treatment approaches. This allows me to have a more positive impact on children’s lives and provides me with a fulfilling and rewarding career! I look forward to collaborating and addressing all your PT-related needs to develop a personalized care plan – including physical therapy evaluations as well a continuum of care from the school-based setting. Please reach out for appointment availability or further questions. I look forward to servicing you!
