Dr. Emma (Schmidt) Johnson, Physical Therapist
Musculoskeletal expert providing in-home concierge PT services to the North Carolina Triangle. My passion is making reaching your goals as easy as answering the door.
A Different PT Experience
One-on-one and individualized physical therapy treatment for runners, weekend warriors, pregnant and postpartum moms, and athletes in the sport of life. Mobile, concierge physical therapy services brought to you in the comfort of your own home.
Mobile Services
Physical therapy services provided in the comfort of your own home. I will bring all necessary equipment to you and will show you how to use everyday items or gym equipment for any recommended exercises. Serving Chapel Hill, Durham, and the majority of the Triangle.
Quality Care
Keeping up-to-date with current research in sports medicine and using evidence-based treatment methods is important to me, as is getting to know you as an individual so I can understand all the ways activity and movement are significant in your life.
Private Pay Model
Insurance isn't able to dictate your care in a payment-for-service based physical therapy model. This means all decisions for the care and services you receive can be made by you, not a third party. It also means no hidden fees or surprise bills!
A PT Who Gets It
My focus is on customized care to meet your specific needs and help you reach the goals that are important to you. As a runner, a mom, and a fitness-forward healthcare provider, my perspective is shaped by living the same active life my patients do.
