Erin Carr, DPT
Erin Carr DPT, is a licensed board certified Doctor of Physical Therapy. She received her doctoral degree from Mount St. Mary’s College with a focus on orthopedic rehabilitation. In addition, she has completed an orthopedic residency program through the Institute of Physical Art on functional manual therapy.
Erin believes the body has the ability to heal on its own. She performs thorough evaluations determining the source of one’s musculoskeletal pain. The foundations of her treatments blend western and eastern treatment techniques for the musculoskeletal system in relation to the viscera (organs), nerves, arteries and fascia. Every patient seen is assessed and treated uniquely as everyone’s body can present differently with any given injury, acute or chronic. She also spends time educating her patients so they become more aware of their body while preventing further re-injury. As a result, patients experience long-term pain relief and return to an optimum level of function.
Commonly seen medical diagnoses successfully treated include:
- Neck pain
- Headaches
- Shoulder pain
- Frozen shoulder
- Elbow pain
- Carpal tunnel
- Radiating arm or leg pain
- Wrist and hand pain
- Rib pain
- Back pain
- Hip pain
- Knee pain
- Foot and ankle injuries
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Women’s health
- Balance and gait training
- Pediatric sport injuries
- Overuse injuries
Erin is a current adjunct faculty member of the Mount St. Mary’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program in Los Angeles. She has co-authored a chapter on the rehabilitation of patients following lumbar disc replacement surgery. She completed her doctoral dissertation on balance measures and balance changes in the older adult population.
Erin is a native of Los Angeles. She received her Bachelor of Arts degrees in Sport Science from the University of the Pacific. While at UOP, she was a member of the Division I swim team. She was a competitive swimmer for over 15 years while a swim instructor for 10. She decided to pursue a career in physical therapy after experiencing personal sporting injuries from swimming and triathlon training. She understands where her patients are coming from when their injuries or pain hinder them from doing what they love to do most. Whether its returning to day-to-day activities, work, or training for a sporting event, with a passion for life and love for her work, Erin’s goal is to get all of her patients back to the activities they love to do.
