Dr. Rachel Miller, PT, DPT

Dr. Rachel Miller is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, certified Pilates instructor, and founder of The Pilates PT.  She graduated cum laude from The Ohio State University and then earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Northwestern University in 2004.   She is passionate about educating and is a professional mentor, certified Clinical Instructor, and has developed and taught anatomy courses.  Educating her patients and helping clients to understand their own bodies is very important to her.   She has successfully treated many patients who have failed to respond to other treatments.

Dr. Rachel's dance background and love for fitness led her to Pilates.  She became certified in mat and standing Pilates through Physical Mind Institute in 2008 and has been teaching group mat classes ever since.  She continued her Pilates training by earning a comprehensive certification through Balanced Body.  She also enjoys spending time with her family, staying active, and promoting wellness.  She teaches mat Pilates classes at Heather's Gym in Libertyville, and regularly teaches classes and workshops in the community.

After becoming a Mom, she realized the lack of postpartum education and the need for better care for new (and not so new) moms.  Her continuing education has focused on manual therapy of the pelvis and spine, Diastasis Recti, and pelvic floor Physical Therapy.  She enjoys looking at the body holistically and combining Pilates with Physical Therapy to achieve long lasting results.
