The LaFrance Physical Therapy Philosophy

Jamie Dickerson

Physical Therapist Assistant

My name is Jamie Dickerson. I went to college at Herkimer County Community College for my Physical Therapist Assistant degree and graduated in 2013. Since then, I have been working as a PTA in an outpatient orthopedic setting in Sherrill, NY. I am very excited to become part of the team here at LaFrance PT, and further my experience and education.

I have lived in Morrisville for nearly 10 years with my husband and we now have 4 children. I love camping, hiking, gardening, and all things food. I was raised in the country hills on the outskirts of Sherburne and continue to be a country girl at heart even though I live in town now.

I look forward to meeting more people from the community I live in as I join the team at LaFrance PT.

Grace Lutke

I grew up in the outskirts of Oriskany Falls, New York, where I still reside today. I graduated from Madison Central School in 2024 and went on to earn my Physical Therapist Assistant degree from Herkimer County Community College in 2026.
While there are many reasons I enjoy working at LaFrance PT, one that stands out the most is having the opportunity to work side by side with such an incredible team every day while building relationships with our wonderful patients. I love getting to know people from all walks of life with so many different stories to tell. The connections I get to make with our patients each day are what truly make this profession so rewarding.
Outside of the clinic, I enjoy spending time outdoors, playing the piano, singing, sports, and serving in my church. You can usually find me doing something outside, and if you see me, there's a good chance I'll be humming a song.
I love being a part of the team here at LaFrance PT, and I look forward to meeting everyone who walks through our doors!

Rylan Sigman

I’m Rylan Sigman, a Physical Therapist Assistant at LaFrance Physical Therapy. I grew up in Sherburne, New York, and graduated from Sherburne-Earlville High School in 2023. After high school, I attended Genesee Community College, where I earned my PTA degree in 2026.

One of the things I enjoy most about working at LaFrance PT is the people. I love working alongside such a great team and getting the opportunity to build relationships with our patients all while learning so much each day.

When I’m not in the clinic, you can usually find me at the gym right across the hall, on the basketball court, out on the golf course, or spending time fishing.
