Abigail Nagle

Abby is a Lancaster County native and a 2020 graduate from Lampeter-Strasburg High School. Her passion for physical therapy began in high school, after experiencing physical therapy twice for sport-related injuries. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science (2024) and Doctor of Physical Therapy (2026) from Lebanon Valley College, following a 16-week full-time clinical rotation at Prana.

While at Lebanon Valley College (LVC), Abby was an active member in the swim team, pro-bono clinic (CURE Clinic), anatomy research, and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) research. She collaborated with faculty and peers to create a free anatomy fundamentals study manual for healthcare students at LVC. Her capstone research project evaluated the effectiveness of the Body Braid in individuals with hEDS and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) on balance, body space awareness, and pain. This project was especially meaningful because of her own experiences with hypermobility. In addition to hypermobility, Abby also has a strong foundation in manual therapy and swimming exercise programming.

Her study abroad experiences helped shape a broader perspective on global healthcare systems and education. She spent a semester in Dublin, Ireland, working and studying alongside Irish physical therapy students. She also traveled throughout Poland, learning and experiencing Polish healthcare and their education systems compared to the United States.

Outside of work, Abby enjoys reading, swimming, crocheting, arts and crafts, hiking, and spending time with friends and family. She is excited to begin her journey at Prana and help you achieve your goals.
