BioMechanic Physical Therapy

Dr. Corinne B. Shumaker, PT

Dr. Corinne B. Shumaker received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Shenandoah University in 2010.  Her education consisted of multiple internships involving manual techniques with a special interest in the spine. Corinne greatly benefited with a variety of   fantastic internships, including the Virginia Spine Institute, Inova Fairfax Trauma and Cardiovascular Units, and The Jackson Clinics.  Her last and favorite internship landed her at BioMechanic Physical Therapy where we invited her to return as a full-time therapist. 

Corinne has a passion for people.  Traveling to Nicaragua in May 2010 on a medical mission’s trip with Shenandoah University, she served as one of six physical therapists within a group of fifty-nine medical professionals.  During that week we were able to treat over 1200 individuals in need, but the physical therapist team was also able to educate the special needs school and only hospital in improved rehabilitation techniques.  Corinne hopes that throughout her career she can continue to help many, including reaching out to other third-world countries in need.

Graduating undergrad with a minor in theatre, Corinne has 18 years of dance training with a focus in ballet and pointe and has been choreographing musical theater for six years.   Coming from a performing arts family, Corinne continues to have a passion for performers – both active and retired. She desires to incorporate the specialized needs of performers creatively within the realm of physical therapy.
