Loved her ! She was so helpful already and used new technology to show me 3-d digital/moving pictures of what’s happening in my body And gave me homework that was actually probably the most important aspect that I wish I had been more focused on over the last year while i have been in so much pain And she was empathic and validating

I really enjoyed my visit with Liz. She was very knowledgeable and put together a great program for me. My back already felt better when I walked out the door.
Elizabeth is thoughtful in her approach and effective. She is careful to explain what she is doing and why which I greatly appreciated. Her muscle relaxation / releasing (aka massage - my favorite part of PT) is excellent and super strong. After a few months of work - and doing my homework - my hip really did see improvement!
Liz was a fantastic physical therapist -- kind, considerate and professional. She took the time to listen to my concerns, and clearly had a wealth of knowledge to draw upon when treating me. I highly recommend her!
Liz is kind, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Sessions are enjoyable and time seems to pass quickly. She is persistent in looking for solutions, despite how tricky and complicated the underlying issues can get. It was great working with her to solve my issues.
Liz is a terrific physical therapist. She is attentive, creative, full of energy, and most importantly, caring. I wholeheartedly recommend her.
Excellent knowledge. Thoughtful approach to my particular issue (lower back / QL strains). Timely with respect to my appointment.
