Reilly Retz, PT, DPT

Reilly joined the Summit Rehab team in October of 2024. She obtained her doctorate from California State University, Long Beach in 2020. Following graduation, she practiced in outpatient orthopedics where she gained experience practicing lifestyle medicine, a treatment approach that addresses pain and injury, while promoting overall health and wellness through healthy lifestyle behaviors and habits to combat chronic disease. Reilly has a passion for working with her patients to develop routines centered around physical activity, exercise, and lifestyle habits that support their health goals. Her clinical interests include orthopedic injuries of the back, hip, knee, and ankle/foot, sport injury rehabilitation with particular interest in working with barbell athletes and runners, post-surgical care, and overuse injuries.
