Julie Rollins, PT, Owner

In 2001, I opened Stepping Stone Rehab, Inc with the vision and goal of creating a physical therapy environment where the patient and the care they received would be the number one focus! Although I work extensively with orthopedics, sports injuries, chronic pain and neurological deficits, my passion is with pelvic health. The pelvic floor muscles along with our breathing is literally the ‘core’ of our being able to function each day. It is our foundation for stability that gives us mobility through our shoulders and arms, right down to our feet. My knowledge of Pelvic Health greatly influences my treatment approach to other conditions from the young athlete to the weekend warrior!

One of the reasons I love being a physical therapist is that no two people are alike and the challenge of finding the missing puzzle pieces, that once restored, would improve someone’s quality of life. We all are unique with different histories and goals which makes it important to have a customized plan of care for your condition. I have studied many evidence-based practice techniques so I have a variety of resources to pull from to treat your condition. Eclectic in my approach but what works for one, may not for another. I accept the challenge of finding your missing puzzle pieces and I am eager to help you in the rehabilitative process to reach YOUR goals.
