Overview

Dr. Greene began teaching in the Physical Therapy Program at Emory University in 1988. Dr. Greene has a particular interest in injury prevention and health promotion for persons with chronic diseases such as arthritis. Her research activities involve collaboration with rheumatologists and other healthcare professionals in clinical and community settings.

This is an exciting time to be a physical therapist. In 2002, President Bush officially proclaimed the years 2002-2011 to be the National Bone and Joint Decade. With increased awareness and new discoveries, we have the potential to greatly improve the quality of life of those living with disabling musculoskeletal disorders.
