Tanner

Tanner
PT

Originally from Aledo, Illinois, Tanner received his bachelor’s degree in Health Care Management from Southern Illinois University of Carbondale in 2015 and attended Indiana State University in 2020 where he received his Doctorate in Physical Therapy. We’re happy to have him at our Galesburg Cottage Rehab clinic!

Tanner wanted to become at Physical Therapist because…

“There is always a new skillset, modality, technique, etc. to be learned for optimal evidence-based practice,” said Tanner. “It’s a title that promotes professional and personal growth through constant education and learning; all to improve any individual’s quality of life. The genuine effort of providing help for those in need is what initially drew me in, but of course getting to know some awesome people is a huge bonus!”

Tanner enjoys treating any orthopedic injures from head to toe, but ultimately, he appreciates treating anything that helps someone get back to what they love doing.

“When there is an injury that stands as a barrier between a person and their passion, I thoroughly enjoy teaming up with them to take it head-on and progress past it.”

Outside of work, you can find Tanner enjoying outdoor activities like hiking, biking, or lounging in his hammock. He enjoys traveling and staying active through running, working out, or being walked by his golden retriever, Fletcher. He also loves reading and listening to audiobooks about any topic under the sun!

Erin

Erin
PTA

I’m Erin and I have been working for Cottage Rehab in the Galesburg clinic for 10 years. I was also a rehab tech for 1 year prior in the Hospital during college. I graduated in 2010 from ICC with my PTA degree. In 2018 I completed the OPTA program where I specialized in orthopedics. I have a beautiful family, a daughter that is 1 year old and 2 dogs. My little family loves to travel and experience new cities, countries, and scenery.

Anne

Anne
PTA

Growing up in Peoria, Illinois, Anne graduated from the Illinois Central College Physical Therapy Assistant program in 2019 and works at our Galesburg Cottage Rehab clinic.

Anne wanted to originally become a Physical Therapist because…

“When I was 13, I had surgery for scoliosis and had to go through PT and OT,” said Anne. “It was then that I decided that I wanted to become a PT but somehow along the way ended up changing my major and went into social work. I was a foster care caseworker for a couple of years then retired to become a stay-at-home-mom. Later, I worked as a substitute teacher for pre-k-8th grade while my children were all in school. I then, decided that it was not a PT that I originally wanted to become but I did want to become a PTA, I wanted more of the hands-on direct care without the responsibilities that go along with being a PT.”

“I feel my strength is more of a great support team member than a lead. I love to problem solve in order to give my patients the most individualized and appropriate care that I can, for them to achieve their goals. I love to care for others, and this has been such a great vehicle for me to help guide others with their recovery.”

She loves being a PTA because she has a passion for helping patients problem solve their physical issues while letting them know they are cared for and loved.

When Anne isn’t treating patients, she loves to spend time with her husband and children.

“Even after 30+ years of marriage I never get tired of being around him,” said Anne. “I love to support his love of running and coaching high school cross country and track. I also love spending time with my four now adult children ages 18-28."

Anne also enjoys cooking Middle Eastern food, trying new recipes, and loves learning new PT techniques and approaches on how to help her patients!

Hi, my name is Brandon. I have been an athletic trainer since 2006, after graduating with a bachelor’s degree from Western Illinois University in Macomb, IL. I have worked in various settings as an ATC, including clinics, high schools, colleges, and strength and conditioning environments. I have worked at Cottage Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine since 2016, and I work with Galesburg High School and other area high schools to fulfill athletic training needs, and work with athletic directors and coaches to reduce injury risk through proper lifting mechanics and speed/agility activities. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife, playing volleyball, and helping her as I am able with her volleyball coaching.
