Gabrielle has a passion for outpatient orthopedics and has specialized in lower extremity rehabilitation, specifically total joint replacement, post-surgical knee and hip rehabilitation as well as sports-related orthopedic injuries. She also has several years of experience with treating a variety of work-related injuries as well as customizing industrial rehabilitation programs to allow patients to safely return to work. Additionally, she provides her patients with education to prevent future injury. 

Gabrielle is certified in IASTM and a variety of therapeutic taping techniques. Her treatment philosophy is based on individualized patient-centric care that focuses on the patient’s personal goals as well as collaborated goals set by PT during their evaluation. Gabrielle believes utilizing a comprehensive and collaborative care model best allows her patients to meet their goals of rehabilitation and desired outcomes. She stays up to date on the latest evidence-based practices and continues to expand her skill set by pursuing educational classes in vestibular and post-concussive rehabilitation.
