Physical Therapist
Susan Henning, PT
Graduating from NYU with a BS in Physical Therapy in 1986, Susan began working in major medical centers in New York City, later in San Francisco, CA before relocating to Pittsboro, NC. She has been in private practice since 1998 in Chapel Hill and Pittsboro.
Susan’s early interest was in neurological rehabilitation following stroke. Drawn to Orthopedics by her interest in dance and movement, she began studies in Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy in the early 1990’s. She developed expertise in the treatment of back pain, neck pain and sacro-iliac joint dysfunction with these techniques.
In 2002, Susan encountered Postural Restoration, the extraordinary work of Ron Hruska, PT. Equipped with this unique holistic approach in the underlying biomechanical issues contributing to pain and dysfunction, she expanded her practice in working with scoliosis, hypermobility, TMD as well as chronic hip, shoulder and spine conditions.
Alongside her work as a physical therapist, Susan studied Sensory Awareness with Charlotte Selver for over 30 years. This meditative work brought her an appreciation of the potent tool we each have in sensation and awareness. She incorporates these influences into her current practice as a physical therapist and she also offers workshops in Sensory Awareness.
