In honor of National Physical Therapy Month, Frye Regional recognizes our Outpatient Physical Therapy team. Each Wednesday throughout October, we’re featuring a member of our team whose expertise supports our community’s healing and growth.

This week, we spotlight Emily Pritchett, PT, DPT, one of our talented physical therapists who joined Frye Regional in November 2023. Emily specializes in manual therapy and dry needling and holds advanced certification in pelvic floor therapy, a specialty that has made a life-changing difference for many of her patients. She’s certified in Trigger Point Dry Needling (Levels 1 and 2), Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation (Herman and Wallace Level 1), Thrust Manipulation Level 2 and Manual Assessment of the Lower Quarter.

“I love helping people get back to living independently without pain,” Emily shares. “Sometimes, patients come in struggling for years, and through consistency and individualized care, we’re able to help them regain movement and confidence.”

One of Emily’s most memorable success stories involves a patient who hadn’t been able to move her pelvis in eight years. After nearly a year of consistent therapy, that patient is now walking normally again.

Emily’s passion for physical therapy stems from her background in competitive lifting, which inspired her to help others, especially athletes, recover and return to the activities they love.

“At Frye Regional, we treat patients one-on-one and tailor care to their specific needs,” Emily says. “That personal connection and collaboration with referring doctors makes all the difference.”

We’re grateful for Emily’s dedication to helping patients heal, move and thrive every day.

From 1 Flight to 40: Amanda’s Weight Loss Journey

Amanda Keefer knew something had to change when she struggled to climb just one flight of stairs at a family water park. Two years later, after weight loss surgery at the North Carolina Bariatric Institute, she returned—and climbed those stairs 40 times.

She’s lost nearly 120 pounds, quit smoking after 20 years and gained a new life full of energy, confidence and quality time with her kids.

In honor of National Physical Therapy Month, Frye Regional recognizes our Outpatient Physical Therapy team. Each Wednesday throughout October, we’re featuring a member of our team whose expertise supports our community’s healing and growth.

This week, we spotlight Josh Caulder, PT, DPT, who joined Frye Regional in February 2022. A Hickory native, Josh combines hometown roots with advanced training to serve patients with skill and compassion. He is trained in Maitland Spinal Manipulative Therapy, a highly regarded approach in manual therapy that emphasizes evidence-based treatment for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. He also holds certifications in dry needling and blood flow restriction. His experience working with athletes and active individuals gives him unique insight into helping patients return to the activities they love most.

One of Josh’s specialties is dry needling, a modern technique that uses a fine acupuncture-style needle to release tight trigger points in the muscles. This westernized approach is highly effective in relieving pain, improving mobility and promoting healing. Some patients experience relief after a single session, while others with chronic conditions may need multiple treatments for lasting results.

Josh’s favorite part of physical therapy is helping patients achieve their personal goals. He listens closely and tailors each treatment plan—whether it’s helping someone get back on the golf course, lifting a grandchild with ease or simply living pain-free. He values Frye’s commitment to one-on-one care in a supportive, family-like environment. “It’s rare in outpatient therapy to have that level of focused time with patients,” Josh concludes. “They’re individuals with meaningful goals worth working toward.”

Meet Alyssa Averett, Patient Ambassador.

For nearly two years, Alyssa has shared her kindness and bright smile with everyone at Frye Regional. Patients and families often mention her in Google reviews, praising the way she makes their experience brighter.

Alyssa is known for treating every patient like family, whether it’s offering a warm hello, sharing a quick laugh or simply listening to their stories. As she puts it: “I don’t want to see anyone sad; I just want to make them smile.”

That mission shines through in everything she does. We’re so grateful to have Alyssa as part of the Fyre family, reminding us all of the power of kindness in healing.
