Dr. RikkiLynn Shields, PT, DPT, CLT, E-RYT, holds a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Dominican University New York. During her time at the university, she was actively involved as the president of the Student Physical Therapy Association. Dr. Shields received several awards, including the Leadership Award, Clinical Education Award, and recognition for her doctoral research on pelvic asymmetry assessment.

Specializing in pelvic health conditions, Dr. Shields is passionate about providing treatment to women, men, and pediatric patients in this area. She adopts a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation, combining traditional and holistic methods. Manual therapy, breath work, and exercise form the core of her treatment approach. Beyond pelvic health conditions such as bowel, bladder, and sexual dysfunctions, pre- and postpartum training, and pre- and post-prostatectomy rehabilitation, she is also a Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT) and experienced registered yoga teacher (E-RYT). Driven by her interest in lymphedema, orthopedics, and pediatrics, she brings her knowledge and expertise to these areas as well.

Drawing from her background as a yoga teacher and experience as a Division I Cross Country and Track and Field runner, Dr. Shields deeply appreciates the body’s innate ability to heal itself. She is dedicated to each patient she treats, advocating for their needs and understanding the importance of achieving a balanced life while respecting the body’s limits. Her ultimate objective is to empower her patients to initiate their healing process, optimize their function, improve their movement and breathing, and live vibrant lives.
