Emily Stanton strives to help people age well
September 24, 2021
Physical therapist Emily Stanton understands the value of people of all ages, but when she noticed a few years ago that she wasn’t able to do some things “the way she used to,” she shifted her focus to the 60 and older population.
In 2019, Stanton became a board-certified geriatric specialist, and she started her own business - Ally Wellness - on Aug. 3 of 2020.
“Like everything else in life, we prepare for a career, prepare to have children, we prepare to buy a house,” she says. “Now that I’ve been doing (physical therapy) for 20 years, I see just how subtly these changes start, but it really could be another 10 to 15 years before they become problematic.”
Stanton ran a newspaper ad and landed her first client in October 2020. Her business has progressed from there.
