Treatment Philosophy
Dr. Elyse’s approach focuses on identifying and addressing underlying imbalances and movement restrictions that drive pain and dysfunction, so injuries and limitations are treated at the true root cause. She values learning about each individual’s unique goals, passions, and interests to ensure patients follow a plan that not only helps them become pain-free, but also aligns with what they truly enjoy and supports their ideal outcomes. Through a combination of evidence-based techniques and individualized exercise selection, patients are able to manage pain while improving durability and performance. She also emphasizes the importance of education throughout the process to improve patient participation and long-term understanding, helping them maintain results for years to come.

Why I Became a Physical Therapist
“Life is meant to be explored and experienced, and being held back by pain can have a significant impact on someone’s life. It is incredibly rewarding to help people return to enjoying life to its fullest, whether that means getting back on the court or being able to pick up their grandkids. I find so much beauty in the process and love watching people rediscover themselves after years of frustration and pain.”
