Rachel E. Stitt, PT, DPT

I believe that each patient’s care should be tailored to meet their personalized goals through an active treatment approach and should be rooted in best practice evidence.

I am a Board-Certified Specialist in Orthopedic Physical Therapy with St. Luke’s University Health Network. My practice is dedicated to treating an array of all orthopedic conditions and populations of all ages and demographics. Of special interest, I evaluate for and prescribe custom orthotics, participate in the comprehensive spine program, and am able to evaluate and treat patients without referral as a licensed Direct Access Physical Therapist. I attended Misericordia University to pursue both my Bachelor’s degree in Health Care Management, followed by my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. As a clinician, my passion for orthopedic physical therapy grew and I completed the St. Luke’s Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency. I now serve as faculty in our program as both a mentor and a clinical associate professor. My interest in physical therapy began as a young athlete with frequent and recurrent orthopedic injuries. It was my own benefit from physical therapy throughout high school that inspired me to become a physical therapist.

I take a special interest in treating hunters, as an avid hunter myself. Outside of the clinic, I can be found spending time with my family and yellow labrador while rooting for the New York Giants and the Michigan Wolverines.
