Clinical Expertise

As the cornerstone of our Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy (S.R.T.) program, Emily guides patients through specialized therapeutic exercises with precision and care. Her expertise ensures that each patient performs their rehabilitation protocol correctly, maximizing therapeutic benefits while preventing compensatory patterns that could impede recovery.

Emily demonstrates particular skill in:

• Guiding patients through the comprehensive S.R.T. protocol, adapting techniques to individual needs and limitations
• Operating the state-of-the-art KDT Neuroflex Spinal Decompression system to address disc-related conditions
• Providing detailed patient education that empowers individuals to take an active role in their recovery
• Monitoring progress and communicating important clinical observations to Dr. Lilja to ensure optimal treatment outcomes

Her attentiveness to each patient’s unique needs and her ability to build rapport have been instrumental in the exceptional outcomes our patients experience.

A Passion for Patient Care

What truly distinguishes Emily is her genuine commitment to each person’s wellbeing. She approaches each patient interaction with warmth and empathy, creating a supportive environment where individuals feel safe, understood, and motivated during their rehabilitation journey.

Emily’s athletic background as a collegiate basketball player informs her understanding of physical performance, injury recovery, and the mental discipline required during rehabilitation. This experience allows her to connect with patients on a meaningful level, particularly those recovering from sports-related injuries or seeking to return to active lifestyles.

Personal Perspective

Originally from Pewaukee, Wisconsin, Emily has embraced Minnesota as her home. Her recent journey into motherhood has deepened her appreciation for wellness in all its dimensions and enhanced her capacity to empathize with patients experiencing life transitions.

When not guiding patients on their health journeys, Emily cherishes time with her husband and son. She maintains her own wellness through outdoor activities, playing with her dog, and pursuing her love of reading. Her continued passion for sports—particularly following the Packers and Badgers—reflects her Wisconsin roots and appreciation for athletic excellence.

Emily’s balanced approach to her own life mirrors the holistic wellness philosophy that defines our practice, making her not just a clinical specialist but a living example of the principles we advocate for our patients.

As Office Manager, Molly expertly coordinates patient care while ensuring our practice runs smoothly. Her understanding of both administrative excellence and natural healing principles makes her an invaluable bridge between our clinical team and patients.

When not welcoming patients with her warm smile, Molly embraces life as a devoted mother to three daughters. Her personal wellness journey includes strength training and fitness activities—often making these family affairs. An avid home chef, she experiments with nutritious recipes and occasional treats, believing that balance is essential to well-being. In quieter moments, she finds inspiration through reading and creative writing, nurturing her lifelong love of storytelling. Molly’s adventurous spirit also drives her passion for travel and exploring new cultures.

Her philosophy perfectly complements our center’s mission: “True health comes from understanding the body’s natural healing abilities and supporting them through proper care, nutrition, and mindful living.”
