About Me
Erin Gallagher, PT, DPT, dipACLM
I am a physical therapist, mobility specialist, and certified nutrition coach who is board certified in Lifestyle Medicine. My passion is providing individualized care with a positive attitude and friendly spirit. I have worked with clients as old as 103, from athletes to those in hospice care.
After more than 15 years of experience as a physical therapist, I decided I want to do more to help shift healthcare from a reactive service to a proactive preventive one. I hope to achieve that by helping people find a healthy balance of proper nutrition and exercise, in addition to good sleep habits, stress management, and a positive mindset about health and wellness.
My own story:
I received by BA in Cognitive Science from the University of Virginia in 2005, and my doctorate in physical therapy from Georgia State University in 2009.
After having two children and approaching my 40s, I struggled to find my own healthy balance. My energy crashed in the afternoons and I wasn't feeling my best physically. This led to significant continuing education and additional certifications to try to find answers that could help me personally. I knew that other people must be experiencing some of the same frustrations regarding nutrition, exercise, and how to find the right patterns to optimize health and well-being, and thus Balanced Body Wellness was born.
I live in Helena with my wife and two young children. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, music, travel, and dreaming up new adventures.
