About Taryn

Taryn completed her Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree at Columbia University and has worked as a Physical Therapist both in-clinic and backstage for the New York City Ballet, the School of American Ballet, and multiple Broadway and Off-Broadway shows in New York City. She was fortunate enough to train under dance medicine pioneer Marika Molnar and has also had the opportunity to treat dancers and performers from Boston Ballet, the Metropolitan Opera, Alvin Ailey, Juilliard schools of dance and acting, American Ballet Theatre JKO school, Twyla Tharp dance company, MOMIX, Ballet Trockadero, SALT Contemporary Dance Company, Ririe Woodbury, Wasatch Contemporary Dance Company, and more. Taryn is fully certified in trigger point dry needling and loves to focus on manual therapy as part of her physical therapy treatments. Taryn grew up studying dance locally here in Utah in many different styles and has taught tap, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, and ballet. Taryn also had the opportunity to perform in Odyssey Dance Theatre's Thriller. However, after experiencing both personal and students’ injuries, she decided to pursue a career in physical therapy and dance medicine in order to further help all dancers to be at their best performance. After developing her career in New York City, Taryn relocated back to Utah and is happy to give back to the community that raised her.
