Gillian enjoys helping people recover from a variety of injuries to get them back to their normal life – whether that is recreating in the mountains, on the field, in their job, or just enjoying a walk outside. Each person is different and requires an individualized treatment plan tailored to their personal goals and needs. I strive to work with my patients to give them the tools they need to get back to the “fun stuff” quickly and with better awareness of movement and their body.

• Orthopedic and sports physical therapy

I grew up in Vermont and moved West to explore the mountains of Jackson Hole in 2008. I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Montana.
When not in the PT clinic, you might find me outside, exploring the Tetons backpacking, skiing, mountain biking or playing ice hockey. I am passionate about the outdoors and inspired by the stunning landscape we live in here in Jackson.
