Why Empower PT:
Empower Physical Therapy is a privately owned practice whose mission is to provide the highest quality care to patients. Unlike other physical therapy practices where the therapist alternates between several patients simultaneously, at Empower Physical Therapy the entirety of each 60 minute session is spent one-on-one with the therapist in order to maximize treatment. Sarah emphasizes manual (hands-on) treatment to address the area of dysfunction as well as to assess the patient’s functional movement patterns to identify other possible body parts that are biomechanically contributing to pain. In this way, Sarah ensures she is not only healing each injury but preventing future injuries from occurring.
Meet Sarah Rudman:
Sarah received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy and Bachelors of Science from Touro College School of Health Sciences. She then went on to work for Metro Physical and Aquatic Therapy. There she treated primarily orthopedic and sports related injuries as well as worked on improving balance in the geriatric population. As the Clinical Director of the practice, Sarah had the opportunity to ensure that her patients received the highest quality of physical therapy care so that they could achieve their goals and return to the activities they love.
Sarah continually looks to expand her knowledge of the latest evidence-based practice. Sarah takes special interest in understanding how altered movement patterns in different sports can lead to injury. She believes that knowledge is power and is passionate about educating her patients on every aspect of their care to ensure that they have the tools they need to progress on their own. In her spare time, Sarah enjoys running, swimming and spending time with her children outdoors.
