Courtney is a strong believer in the power of daily movement and physical rehab leading people to recovery from injuries and pain. Through evidence based practice, Courtney works on providing her patients with education and motivation to become independent in their rehab process.
As a Napa Valley native, Courtney Helmer Harberts is passionate about her role as a Doctor of Physical Therapy at Joint Physical Therapy so she can help the community that she grew up in. Most of Courtney’s training centered around pain and injuries, but she continues to increase her breadth of knowledge in physical therapy in order to help as many clients as possible, especially with extra training and courses in vestibular/balance rehab and pelvic floor physical therapy.
Growing up as a student-athlete in Calistoga, Courtney developed a passion for living an active lifestyle and recognizing its importance in injury prevention, as well as recovery. Courtney has dabbled in a variety of sports growing up, such as basketball and flag football, but in recent years has developed a love for tennis, and is slowly dipping her feet into golf.
After initially getting her Bachelor of Education degree from Avondale College, it didn’t take long before she realized her love for working with people one on one, and re-routed her career. She then went on to get her Masters in Kinesiology from Cal Baptist University before pursuing her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Loma Linda University.
