Tracey A Emrey

something I find to be a never-ending learning experience and a joy.

I address acute and chronic pain, faulty posture and movement patterns, and orthopedic and neurologic conditions.  These conditions impair functional movement and restrict optimal performance in daily living, work, fitness, and sports activities.  I treat headache, TMJ, cervical, upper extremity, thoracic, lumbar, pelvic, lower extremity pain and dysfunction.

My treatments strive to address the whole person: emotions, feelings, thoughts, brain, body.  The goal is to return a person to optimal holistic balance, organization and function.

I have more that 30 years of experience offering tissue specific manual therapies, neuromuscular re-education, movement with awareness, postural improvement, and strength-and-fitness methods to help people to look, feel and move better.  Most of my rehabilitation clients come to me after traditional therapy has left them with lingering deficits in function and unresolved pain.

I have had a private practice for 20 years, incorporating pilates with physical therapy and fitness.  Recently I have trained and recieved licensing for ONERO, an evidence-based program to prevent fractures and falls and to develop strength and improve bone mineral density in people with osteoporosis and osteopenia.  

I work privately with clients in a beautiful setting which invites client focus and introception.  This facilitates the discovery of new possibilities for movement and for being.  I strive to uncover what appears to be driving a person's pain such as unbalanced loads in the body, non-optimal habitual ways of posturing or moving.  Pain may also be derived from restrictions due to trauma.  I use manual therapy techniques to release restrictions that often contribute to pain, loss of mobility and loss of function.  These techniques involve "listening" with the hands to find the primary area of restriction, and this starts the connect and release process.  I then use pilates, movement with awareness, and functional re-patterning to help a person to discover more optimal ways of moving.  Often with traumas, the restrictions and system impairments are so complex, starting with listening and following the innate intelligence and healing abilities of the body is a proven way to progress.

I graduated from Quinnipiac University with a BS psychobiology with double majors in biology and psychology in 1983 and graduated from Arcadia University's MS physical therapy program in 1992.  

When I am not in my studio, I can be found spending time with my horse, Lewis, or spending time with my husband, David, in our lovely home in Titusville, NJ.
