Gretchen Z., PT, DPT graduated from Ithica College where she received her Bachelor of Science in Clinical Health Studies and her Doctorate of Physical Therapy. She pursued a career in PT because she enjoys working with people and has always been interested in Anatomy and Exercise Science.

Gretchen loves working with orthopedic patients pre- and post-operatively to ensure the best outcomes possible. Additionally, she enjoys working with patients with neurological conditions. During graduate school, Gretchen completed clinical rotations at an impatient rehabilitation center and multiple outpatient orthopedic clinics.
