Tara Loveland
PT, DPT
Tara was born and raised in Temple City, CA, a suburb of Los Angeles. She attended the University of California, San Diego where she earned her undergraduate degree in Cognitive Science before moving to Denver for physical therapy school. She graduated from the University of Colorado with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in December 2020.
Tara is passionate about providing each and every one of her clients the opportunity to achieve the active and healthy lifestyle they’ve always imagined – regardless of pain and/or injury. Clinically, she has a special interest in return-to-sport rehabilitation and pelvic health, specifically, postpartum return to exercise. She is passionate about helping her clients optimize movement, recover from injury, and/or prevent future injury by utilizing a total-body treatment approach that reaches the “root cause” of the problem.
When Tara is not in the clinic, she enjoys skiing, hiking, camping, cycling, and pretty much anything that gets her outdoors. She also enjoys the occasional day indoors reading a good book, watching a good Netflix series, or cooking a new recipe.

Dr. Emily Roberts
DPT, OCS
Emily Roberts received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2012, and her Bachelor of Science in Human Development, also at the University of Wisconsin.
Emily spent the first part of her career back in the midwest where she is from. It is there that she began to specialize in treating runners, low back, hip and pelvic pain. Emily is a Certified Orthopedic Specialist, so her strong orthopedic background has helped her to more thoroughly treat her pelvic floor patients with a "whole body" approach. Emily feels strongly about both patient advocacy and patient education. She is trained in treating both male and female pelvic floor conditions.
With a strong commitment to service and volunteering, Emily has traveled to Haiti to help educate local providers and provide orthopedic and pelvic floor PT services for a small community on the northern coast. She hopes to be involved in more service trips abroad in years to come.
Emily moved to Denver in 2017 to explore her love of the mountains, hiking and being active. When not working with patients, she loves to swim, bike, and run with her dog, Ollie.
