Hi, I'm Rebekah.

I’m a physical therapist and the founder of The ED DPT. I specialize in helping physical therapists bring their skills into the Emergency Department.

 

Check out my courses for practical training, explore consulting services if your hospital is ready to expand ED PT, or reach out through my contact page if you’d like to connect directly.
