Renai Gallagher
DPT, CGCM, CDP
I am a physical therapist with over 25 years of experience helping people improve mobility, function, and quality of life. I am also a certified care manager, supporting individuals and families as they navigate complex health challenges with clarity, compassion, and practical guidance.
I hold Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctorate degrees in Physical Therapy and am a Certified Geriatric Care Manager through the International Commission on Health Care Certification (ICHCC) as well as a Certified Dementia Provider. My healthcare and therapy background equips me to help people navigate the healthcare system, optimize movement, and live with greater independence and confidence.
Physical Therapy
I work with people who want to move better, feel stronger, and understand their bodies – whether they’re managing pain, recovering from injury, or adapting to physical changes. My clinical background includes sports and orthopedic rehabilitation, neurologic conditions, pelvic health, and menopause-related care.
My approach blends individualized exercise prescription, hands-on treatment, and movement education to support meaningful function and personal goals. I remain clinically active in private practice and also serve as associate faculty in the Division of Physical Therapy at the University of New Mexico.
What is Care Management?
Care managers help people and families navigate health and life changes with less stress. By looking at the whole picture – health, mobility, living situation, and goals – we work together to create a plan that supports you and eases the load on your loved ones. You don’t have to manage everything alone. My role is to provide resources and practical support so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Care management services are private pay and are not covered by insurance.
