A little about Rebecca:
After 7 years of practice in critical care within an acute care setting, Rebecca recognized a desire to participate in treating a diverse and dynamic culture and joined our physical therapy staff in 2014. She brings with her a background strong in vestibular and balance disorders as well as confidence in treating sports-related and orthopedic injuries. Her particular interests include Post-Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury rehabilitation and she is the coordinator of our Concussion Rehab Clinic at M&M Physical Therapy. She is a certified provider of ImPACT© testing and is a proud supporter of education in our community to assist with safe return-to-sport post-injury.
Rebecca received a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia in 2004 and a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Arcadia University in Glenside, Pennsylvania in 2008. She has been a certified clinical instructor from the APTA since 2009 and enjoys mentoring students in the field of physical therapy. Outside of the clinic, Rebecca serves at the director of TOPSoccer (The Outreach Program for Soccer) in Mount Laurel, a program that provides the opportunity of learning and playing soccer to children ages 4-18 with special needs. Besides a BLS CPR and AED certification, Rebecca currently holds a USSF “F” soccer coaching license. In her spare time, Rebecca enjoys participating in local community-based service programs, spending time with her husband, and watching soccer.
