Sarah Seratch MPT

Since founding Northeast PT Associates the Seratches have enjoyed working with all ages to enhance their lives. From young clients still in school experiencing difficulty with muscle strength or gait to the geriatric population having pain or increased fall risk they will formulate a personalized program for your individualized care.

Frank and Sarah opened their first office in Hazleton, Pennsylvania in 2000. They wanted to offer quality physical therapy services to residents of their hometown in a small, family-type setting. Even once expanding into Shenandoah and Drums, they continue to pride themselves on that personalized feeling.

Sarah, with a Masters Degree in Physical Therapy can be found in their Drums office. Specializing in the geriatric population, and being Certified in Fall Risk Management and in the LSVT BIG for Parkinson’s Disease, Sarah has achieved high respect from her patients for improving their gait and balance, and decreasing their fall risk. Sarah has also enjoyed specializing in the shoulder complex, treating both pain and injury and helping clients return to work or play quicker and with less pain. Focusing on each individual in their own personalized program achieves results.
