Emmalee Edmonds, PTA, DPT

I grew up in a small neighborhood outside the Village of Croghan where I attended Beaver River Central School to obtain my Advanced Regents Diploma in 2013. Following graduation, I was accepted into the Physical Therapy program at Utica College where I spent the next 6 years earning my Bachelors of Science in 2017 and Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2019. I completed my required PT clinical rotations in Evans Mills, Syracuse, and Albany, and quickly realized that I preferred rural living and wanted to return home. I have been practicing at Journey Physical Therapy, PLLC for 3 years now where I have had the privilege of building strong relationships with members of the community I grew up in. Working in a small, outpatient clinic in a rural area has taught me how to be more versatile with the diverse caseload we treat daily and how to be more creative in the exercises that I prescribe to target the individual’s needs.

Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my husband, Dylan, and our golden retriever, Nora. If I’m not with them, I am volunteering my time

at the Croghan American Legion where I act as the current Auxiliary Treasurer and Membership Chairperson.
