Dr. Erica Franks, PT, DPT, OCS, is an orthopedic physical therapist and former dancer with over 18 years of clinical experience. She combines her background in dance with evidence-based physical therapy to help dancers improve technique, prevent injury, and extend their performance longevity.

As a certified Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) instructor, Dr. Franks uses this method to develop core strength, body awareness, and proper alignment in both dancers and patients. Her goal is to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and performance through education and intentional movement training.

Dr. Franks is passionate about integrating PBT into both dance studios and clinical settings to build stronger, more resilient movers.
