My mission is to transform people’s physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being through trauma informed, resilience focused, hope infused physical therapy care so they are empowered to live out their mission on this planet.
Hi, I’m Dr. Stephanie Duffey, physical therapist and founder of Empower Physio and Wellness. I’ve been in your shoes. Knee pain in high school took running away from me, and years later I was stuck in bed with debilitating neck pain when my first baby was one, scared I wouldn’t be able to nurse him or carry him. Both times, physical therapy done right is what got me back to living the active life I love.
My mission is to make sure no one else has to feel that fear, the fear that they’ll never do the things they love again. All too often people get bounced around the healthcare system or handed treatments that don’t actually work. Time and money are too precious to waste like that.
I’m a firm believer that there is ALWAYS something you can do to feel better. Motion is lotion, movement is medicine. Strong people are harder to kill. My job is to help you get there with simple, doable strategies that allow you to regain hope in your body’s ability to move.
As a busy mom, I know time is precious and best spent getting to the real cause of the problem. That’s what we do here. Trauma informed, resilience focused, hope infused care so you can get back to showing up as the person you were put on this planet to be.
