Molly Gearin is a Cincinnati native, having attended Sycamore High School before pursuing physical therapy at the University of Dayton. She graduated from UD with a degree in Pre-Physical Therapy in 2019 and stayed there to complete her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2022 (Go Flyers!). While in college, she was a member of the Women’s NCAA D-1 Rowing team, as well as the club gymnastics team. She also was fortunate enough to work as an aide at a local, privately owned clinic in Dayton, which helped grow her interest in human performance. Upon completion of her undergraduate degree, she earned her Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) certification through the NSCA. She worked as a strength coach through grad school, learning how to implement principles of strength programming and periodization, and continues to use those skills with patients today.
Molly worked at an outpatient sports medicine facility near Dayton for four years, where she primarily treated female athletes and active adults beginning a wellness journey. She uses a multimodal approach to therapy, combining principles of manual therapy and strength and conditioning to create a well-rounded treatment. She is passionate about educating her patients on the power of movement and physical therapy, but also educating future healthcare professionals by pursuing teaching roles at UD and taking on clinical students at her practice.
