Emily is awesome! I've been battling a frozen shoulder for 6+ months... with Emily's therapy, I feel like I'm making progress each week. Without Emily's expertise I would be floundering!

Emily is extremely knowledgeable as well as personable, able to explain each exercise in depth alongside why it's part of a program. Her understanding of recovery from similar injuries was invaluable in knowing what to expect throughout the rehabilitation process, and her crafting of the program to ensure that I could not only get back to normal everyday functionality but also resume more demanding sporting activities as quickly as possible without risk of further injury was greatly appreciated. While I hope to never have a similar injury again, I would absolutely go back to see Emily if needed and would recommend anyone I know to go see her.

She was the most attentive therapist of all the ones I worked with. She explained exercises clearly, made sure I was doing them correctly, and was able to give detailed answers to questions I had. She also took the time to massage my shoulder area and that felt very helpful. She's great.

Disclosures

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
