Emma Gottfried, DPT, PT

Emma was born and raised in Southern Oregon. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at Oregon State University and later became a member of the first graduating cohort of Oregon State’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program. She discovered her passion for physical activity, health, and community at a young age when she began volunteering with the Special Olympics and saw the positive impact of accessible fitness for everyone. Her capstone research projects focused on accessible mobility for young children with disabilities and high impact interval training for adults with Multiple Sclerosis.

Emma enjoys working with a variety of patients, including athletes and individuals with orthopedic, vestibular, and neurological conditions. She strives to meet each patient wherever they are in their journey and work collaboratively with them to create a rehabilitation program that helps them meet their goals.

In her free time, she enjoys a multitude of outdoor sports, as well as weightlifting, yoga, reading, trying new recipes, and whatever new hobby has piqued her interest.
