Erin thrives on helping people of all ages and abilities reach their potential—whether recovering from surgery, managing a neurological condition, or building strength to improve daily function. She draws on a diverse clinical background, combining evidence-based assessment and manual therapy with tailored exercise programs in the gym, clinic, pool, or community setting.
