Her primary focus is rehabilitation for pediatric orthopedic and sports injuries, especially among rock climbers. She has collaborated with numerous clinicians in the University of Utah hospital system to create a comprehensive concussion management clinic, and with clinicians at the University Orthopaedic Center to pioneer the Climber's Clinic, which is devoted to evidence-based treatment and research of rock climbing-related injuries.
