Rachel A. Miller | Theresa Feola | Lisa Angioli

Rachel A. Miller, MS, PT, CFMT

Rachel A. Miller, MS, PT, CFMTMS: Physical Therapy, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA
Certification: Functional Manual Therapy, Institute of Physical Art; Infant, Child and Adult CPR, American Red Cross
Instructor: FOI, PNF and GAIT, Institute of Physical Art
Member: American Physical Therapy Association, Women’s Health Section; National Vulvodynia Association; National Association of Continence

"When I was in high school, my father injured his back and couldn’t stand up straight. After three weeks of physical therapy, he was standing upright again and I thought, ‘I want to be able to do that.’ Today, I can focus on getting people out of pain so they can enjoy life. It feels great to make a positive difference in someone’s life.

"Every individual is different, so our treatment techniques are always designed around that person. We spend 40 minutes with each patient and take a whole-body approach to solve the puzzle of their symptoms and the real causes of their pain. One of our primary focuses here is on women’s health, which is not very common in this region. We want to empower all our patients to experience the importance of lifelong exercise for better overall health and fitness."

Theresa Feola, PT   

BS: Physical Therapist, University of Pittsburg
Certification: Infant, child, and adult CPR, American Red Cross
Member: American Physical Therapy Association, Women’s Health Section

 

"One of the many things I love most about being a physical therapist after over two decades of experience is the challenge of finding the source of the patient’s symptoms and how much a difference physical therapy can make in their lives. After working in a variety of settings, I have realized the importance of keeping the body strong and healthy and the influence it has on one’s attitude and spiritual energy.

 

Years ago when my mother, who is a nurse practitioner, encouraged me to go into the health care profession, I never realized where it would take me. Over the last 10 years of my career my interests in treating women’s and men’s pelvic floor issues has grown and Empower Physical Therapy has given me an opportunity to progress my skills and provide total care to my patients."

Lisa Angioli, MPT

MPT: Physical Therapist, University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, PA 
Certification: Infant, child, and adult CPR, American Red Cross
Member: American Physical Therapy Association, Orthopedic Section

"My mother's nursing background and my sister's Down Syndrome heavily influenced my desire to choose a profession that would positively effect an individual's life with improved health. Orhtopedic physical therapy has a direct impact on improved overall strength, flexibility, posture, and function, as well as alleviation of pain.

 Empower Physical Therapy is a unique clinic that allows for a private session of direct hands-on care. This high quality, results-oriented care is rewarding for me, as well as for those choosing our clinic as their physical therapy provider."
