Erin graduated with a doctorate in Physical Therapy from Regis University in 2009 and has continued to have a passion for learning and expanding her professional skills. She lived and worked on the Oregon coast in her early years as a physical therapist covering outpatient, hospital, home health and hospice care. Then, Erin focused on outpatient orthopedic settings once moving to Bend 10+ years ago. No matter the setting or condition Erin’s goal has always been to focus on quality of life as the center of all her treatment plans. She initially joined the Therapy Works team in 2014 and has rejoined the team after a leave of absence. We are beyond delighted to have her back!!
Erin brings to the team her enthusiasm for educating and learning, enhanced skills in pelvic health physical therapy, a strong manual therapy skillset, and a positive attitude. She enjoys working with a wide variety of patients and has a particular passion for pelvic health physical therapy and complex care of the neck and spine. She is trained in Holistic Pelvic CareTM; fascia mobilization of the thorax, abdomen and pelvis; and treatments to enhance bladder and bowel function and pelvic pain conditions.
As Oregonians Erin and her husband both grew up participating in various wilderness activities and sports that have taken them around the state, so they knew Bend was the perfect place to call home when they had the opportunity to move here. Erin and her family can often be found on the water, hiking trails, at parks, and enjoying both what the wilderness and local scene have to offer. She also loves to read and plays several instruments, including musical spoons.
