About Dr. Emily Rausch

I’m a Sports Chiropractor &

a pole dancer.

specializing in helping pole dancers learn how to not f*ck up their bodies and unf*ck them when they do.

Hey, I’m Emily.

I help pole dancers.

When I started pole dancing, I had no idea it would end up being such a major part of my identity.

I was in chiropractic school when signed up for my first taster class. Like a lot of pole dancers, I quickly became obsessed. One class turned in to a pack of 10 turned into an unlimited membership.

This quick progression, coupled with sub-optimal training methods (turns out taking more classes isn’t necessarily better), I found myself laying on the studio floor with a dislocated shoulder.

As I underwent the frustrating and tedious journey of injury rehab, I swore to myself that I would do everything in my power to keep another pole dancer from having to go through what I went through.

The judgemental looks when I shared I was a pole dancer. The confusion about what I needed my shoulder to be able to do. The “then don’t do that” comments.

From this experience, I shifted my focus from general sports medicine to specializing in the reduction and treatment of pole dancer injuries.

Kind Words

  • I feel really lucky and thankful that I found Dr. Emily. I've had an on going injury for over a year and had struggled to find someone that understood the aerial world. Dr. Emily is super knowledgeable and is happy to explain all and any details and questions. She is very kind and is patient for the both of us on days when my goals seem out of reach. She has always found an alternative and has helped me chance my mindset to focusing on what I can do rather than what I can't. Highly recommend! - Ana

  • Dr. Emily is a wealth of knowledge and easy to talk to! I love how she doesn’t just tell you what’s wrong, but actually helps you develop a plan about why and how to make things better! - Megan
