Natalie L.
PT, DPT - Clinic Manager
Location: MVPT Physical Therapy – Greenfield, MA
Natalie grew up in Eastern MA and attained her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Springfield College where she had gained exposure to a diverse range of patient populations through her clinical work.
She has a strong passion for educating her patients on the rehabilitation process including their individualized programs, involved anatomy and physiology, chosen interventions, and the evidenced based practice involved in their care. She truly believes if the patient is educated on the process and understands the link to their functional goals, the relationship between patient and therapist is more effective, and thus better outcomes can be achieved. Natalie enjoys taking a holistic approach to treat patients; incorporating mind and body and recognizing each’s impact on physical function and overall well being. Her ultimate goal is to optimize her patients’ function and provide them with life long tools to improve their body awareness and function well after discharge in order to contribute to life long gains in quality of life.
