Erin Rose

As a second-year physical therapy student with a strong passion for athlete rehabilitation, I am committed to helping individuals recover, optimizing performance, and achieving lasting health through a holistic approach. My diverse experiences through DPT coursework, clinical experiences and time spent as a Strength and Progressions coach for dancers, has shaped my understanding of physical rehabilitation, along with the critical role of nutrition, mental well-being, and lifestyle factors in an athlete’s recovery and performance journey. I am eager to pursue future opportunities that allow me to contribute to the complete rehabilitation journey of athletes, ensuring they not only recover but return to their optimal performance levels with a focus on long-term health and well-being.
