Natalie Knight

PT, DPT

Natalie earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree in 2020 from Ithaca College’s accelerated DPT program in Upstate New York. During her time at Ithaca College, Natalie was an active member of the Movement Analysis Lab where she was a part of various clinical research initiatives that primarily focused on spinal and lower extremity joint kinematics, return to sport protocols, kinesthetics and balance assessments. Not only did Natalie execute and analyze the biomechanical research and movement analysis, but she also played an essential role in composing abstracts and research papers that lead to numerous peer-reviewed presentations and publications. 

Natalie began her professional career in January 2021 after she moved to Wilmington from her home in Upstate New York. Prior to joining our team, she provided outpatient care where she treated patients of varying ages for pre- and post-surgical injuries, sports-related overuse injuries, preventative care, fall prevention / balance training, neurological and orthopedic conditions. In addition, Natalie has proven her passion for working with geriatric and neurologic patient populations and has a desire to serve others by educating the community on overall health and wellness. 

When not in the clinic, you can find Natalie exploring Wilmington and trying new restaurants, behind a camera lens enjoying her hobby for photography, walking on the beach for a sunrise or relaxing with a good book in her hand.
