Madeleine earned her bachelor’s degree from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY in Psychology with a minor in Continental Philosophy. While there, she became heavily engaged with all things CrossFit and Olympic Lifting. She returned back home to West Virginia to earn her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Marshall University. 

Madeleine underwent a rotator cuff repair surgery after an old volleyball injury and participated in extensive physical therapy in order to return back to weightlifting and CrossFitting. This experience solidified her passion in pursuing the physical therapy profession, and helped her to develop a special interest in shoulder rehab.

Since graduating, she has become certified in the Barbell Rehab Method, attended continuing education courses through the Institute of Clinical Excellence, and plans to become certified in dry needling. 

Outside of the clinic, you can usually find her lifting at CrossFit 304, going to local trivia events, traveling (her dream destination is New Zealand), or hanging out with her cat Francesco. She believes that the rehab process should be focused on movement optimism with the end goal of empowering individuals to remain active in their lives and the world around them.
