Helping you tune in to your body

Hi! I’m Ellie. I am a physical therapist, professional musician, and health coach. I provide orthopedic, neurologic, and post-surgical care to general patients and musicians.

A Different Approach to Care

Patients report being tired of a “factory-style” physical therapy experience where they are rushed through exercises, receive minimal one-on-one time, and see a different PT or PTA at each visit.

I designed my practice to take a different approach that keeps the individual’s needs in mind. You get my undivided attention, hands-on care, and intentional movement analysis. I provide time for thorough evaluations and treatment sessions – initial evaluations take 90-120 minutes, and follow-ups are 45 to 75 minutes – where I respect your time, but don’t rush you out the door.

Changing the Reputation of PT meaning "Pain and Torture"

While some aspects of physical therapy can feel intense or cause mild discomfort, I regularly ask how you are feeling and let your response dictate the session. I work with your body, not against it.

To help you manage and reduce pain during your sessions, I utilize a variety of techniques:

  • Modalities: Heat and cold therapy, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation
  • Manual Therapy: Therapeutic massage and gentle joint mobilizations
  • Nervous System Calming: Breathing strategies and mindfulness techniques designed to lower pain perception
