Autumn Neuharth PT, DPT, OCS
Physical Therapist

Autumn Neuharth PT, DPT, OCS

Autumn (she/her) is a Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist and a USA Weightlifting Coach coming to Performance in Motion from a diverse background in sports and physical therapy.  Autumn graduated with honors from the University of Michigan with a B.S. in Movement Science and then moved to New York City for her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Long Island University. Autumn was born on the West Coast, started her career on the East Coast, and is now proud to call the Midwest Coast home!

Autumn’s style of care is centered on a person-first approach, with careful consideration of the client’s unique goals, history, and preferences. She is passionate about empowering people to discover their full potential. Her approach is unique because she integrates her pelvic health training with a strong orthopedic background. Autumn also has a robust history in athletics, including playing rugby for the University of Michigan, where she was a collegiate All-American, as well as 10+ years of experience in strength sports, including CrossFit, powerlifting, and Olympic Weightlifting.

If Autumn’s not working, you can find her at the gym or enjoying the great outdoors. When Autumn is sitting still, she loves good food and drink along with her family, friends, and overly-dramatic German Shepherd Dax.
