Hi! I'm Ginger.

I'm a dancer. I've been dancing my whole life, even before dance "classes." After receiving my BFA in Dance from the University of Michigan in 2012, I went on to become a physical therapist. I've now been practicing  physical therapy for over 7 years, and I'm involved in 2 professional companies in the Ann Arbor and Metro Detroit areas.

 

I created Divergent Physical Therapy & Wellness to be able to focus on my fellow dancers and their healthcare needs. The culture of the dance world makes it difficult for dancers to reach out for help when it comes to physical and mental health. It is my mission as a physical therapist to bring physical and mental health awareness to the dance field and to provide services that dancers need in an accessible way.
