Interests
Lisa got into PT because she tore her ACL 3 times. She absolutely loves treating post ACL and really any lower extremity injury in all athletes. She particularly has become keen on treating runners and ball athletes like soccer, basketball and volleyball. She loves to do running and bike analysis and uses a slow motion technology app to really isolate where you are at risk for injury.
Interests
Treatment Philosophy
Lisa loves to do puzzles, which is something that drew her into the physical therapy world. She is very determined to figure out what is causing her patients pain or discomfort adn what will work best to relieve it. She focuses on hands on skills during her treatment sessions and utilizes a test re test approach to ensure she is having a positive effect on your injury. She is dedicated to helping you return to your sport or activity as quickly and safely as possible.
