Courteney J. Bealko PT, Cert. MDT, CSCS
Courteney Bealko has been practicing physical therapy in the field of outpatient orthopedics and sports medicine since 1998. She consistently receives rave reviews from her patients for her outstanding ability to quickly identify the source of their discomfort and then patiently educate and support them to recovery. Her special areas of interest include: running analysis, complex spinal care and overhead sports treatment and rehabilitation. Courteney has additional credentials in spinal care (McKenzie diagnostic therapist) and fitness training (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist).
Courteney’s approach to care is dynamic and hands on, with the goal of getting each patient motivated to be the key player in their own treatment plan. “I want each patient to feel as though they are receiving the best care. I spend their full appointment with them instead of handing treatment over to an assistant or aide.”
Courteney received her Bachelor’s of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Vermont.
Outside of the office, Courteney is an avid multi-sport athlete and hiker. In addition to her work as a PT, Courteney is a ski instructor at Crystal Mountain and a personal trainer. Although she is a travel enthusiast and loves to explore new cities and cultures, Courteney always makes time for her family and friends — they are the support behind her many endeavors.
Emily Scherb, PT, DPT
Emily Scherb received her Doctor of Physical Therapy from Washington University in St. Louis. There she was trained in the analysis of movement, biomechanical dysfunction, and musculo-skeletal impairments using Movement Systems Impairment (MSI) diagnostics.
Emily strives to engage patients in their treatment in order to enable them to regain control of their pain and function. She believes education is one of the most important tools she has to help a patient understand and manage their condition. “During treatment, I focus on precision in both therapeutic exercise and functional movement to allow the patient to feel confident as they return to activity and to apply the movement concepts to their everyday life.”
Emily is a former professional aerialist and dancer, who is aware of the unique problems and challenges facing all kinds of performing artists. Emily is especially interested in reaching out to performing artists and athletes of all kind to demonstrate how physical therapy can help improve performance, reduce pain, and educate them on how to care for their bodies while under high demand.
In her free time Emily continues to teach circus skills and flying trapeze. In addition, Emily enjoys taking dance class, rock climbing, and exploring the mountains around the Seattle area.
