Therapeutic Evolution PT: Meet The Team

Laura Purificato, MSPT
She/Her

How has Laura Purificato evolved into the physical therapist she is today? Laura received her master’s in science and bachelor’s degree in physical therapy from Russell Sage College back in 2000.  Since that time she spent 7 years in the hospital setting with a focus on functional rehabilitation specializing in the neurologically impaired helping patients return home.  From there, she transitioned into an outpatient setting with a focus on manual therapy.  After a few years, she discovered pelvic rehabilitation and realized the great need for this service.

Laura has practiced pelvic floor rehabilitation since 2011 incorporating manual skills, which has proven the most beneficial to the patient.  She has a great passion for both manual therapy and pelvic health and has found they complement each other.  Laura finds great pleasure in further developing her skills as a practitioner attending various continuing education courses throughout the year.  It is always her goal to further her skills as a professional in order to provide the best treatment possible for each patient.

Morgan Freeman, DPT Physical Therapist
She/Her

Morgan graduated from Daemen College in 2018 and then made her trek out to the Albany area. She is excited to be joining the specialized group of physical therapists that treat the pelvic floor and surrounding areas. Morgan feels that the pelvic floor is under appreciated, and when a patient is educated about their body, it can be truly empowering. She enjoys incorporating aspects of yoga into her practice and will follow wherever a body’s energy leads her to achieve the most benefit during a session. Morgan is honored to be working alongside this amazing group of compassionate, hands-on therapists and looks forward to working with you!
