Emily Buczkowski, PT, DPT

Emily Buczkowski PT, DPT, is a physical therapist in Brunswick Maine who provides personalized outpatient care for patients with orthopedic injuries, chronic pain, post-operative rehabilitation needs, and pediatric conditions. She is committed to helping individuals move better, feel stronger, and confidently return to the activities that matter most to them. Above all, she believes physical therapy should be supportive, empowering, and tailored to each individual. As a result, her care focuses on long-term outcomes rather than quick fixes.

Education & Clinical Background

Emily earned her degree in Kinesiology and Physical Education from the University of Maine in 2016. Before entering physical therapy, she worked within local Maine school systems as a Physical Education and Health teacher. Through this experience, she developed a strong foundation in movement science, injury prevention, and working with individuals of all ages.

Eventually, Emily decided to pursue her passion for rehabilitation and patient care. Therefore, she earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Franklin Pierce University at their Arizona campus. Following graduation, she gained valuable experience working in outpatient orthopedic physical therapy clinics in both Flagstaff, Arizona and Scarborough, Maine. Because of this, Emily brings a well-rounded and adaptable approach to every patient she treats.

Conditions Treated

Emily treats a wide range of conditions, including general orthopedic injuries, chronic pain, post-operative rehabilitation, and pediatric concerns. In addition, she works closely with patients to ensure their treatment plans align with their daily lives and personal goals.

For example, her care often emphasizes functional movement, strength training, and mobility work. As a result, patients are better equipped to return to work, sports, and everyday activities with confidence.

Emily’s Approach to Physical Therapy

Emily’s approach to physical therapy is rooted in education, communication, and trust. Rather than simply treating symptoms, she takes time to explain the purpose behind each exercise and treatment strategy. Because of this, patients feel more confident and engaged throughout their recovery.

Ultimately, Emily strives to create a welcoming environment where patients feel heard, supported, and encouraged at every stage of care.

Life Outside the Clinic

Outside of the clinic, Emily enjoys swimming and hiking, especially when she can spend time outdoors. In her downtime, she loves relaxing with her fiancé, Matt, and their dog, Telly. Additionally, she enjoys getting lost in a good book or binge-watching a new favorite show.
