Emily Leonhardt, PTA

Emily Leonhardt, PTA at North Platte Physical Therapy smiling in office.

I used to go with my grandma to her many PT appointments, and she was a terrible, noncompliant patient (lovely lady otherwise). The therapists were always so kind & helped her tremendously despite her snarky attitude. It gave me my love for older, grumpier patients & helping them reach their goals.
