Patient Success Stories

I recently had a lot of shoulder pain and went to see an Orthopedic doctor who gave me a cortisone shot and sent me on my way. While it relieved the pain in my shoulder it didn’t relieve the numbness and and tingling in my fingers. Li-Zandre spent some time with me and went above and beyond in locating the problem from my shoulder down to my hand. I genuinely appreciated her knowledge and determination to find the problem area. She gave me some exercises and I have since had significant relief! I highly recommend her if you have any physical therapy needs!

I had some sessions at Elevate Physical Therapy with Li-Zandre and she was incredible! I’ve been to different PT’s over the years so I knew the drill but she has a very different approach, which I really appreciated.

During our initial assessment, she also asked me what some of my goals were (aside from less pain, being able to mover better, etc.). I told her a few things that I really wanted to be able to do this summer and she tailored my exercises to strengthen my knee around those movements; climbing hills on my bike, hiking hills, jumping and squatting.

After a short amount of time with her and doing my exercises at home I am almost as good as new! With continued work on my own I will get there,

thanks to Li-Zandre!

I can’t recommend Elevate Physical Therapy enough! I originally started treatment to address issues with my running gait, and the progress I made was incredible. Li-Zandre took the time to really analyze how I was moving, identify weaknesses and imbalances, and create a plan that actually worked for my body and goals.
Not only did my running mechanics improve, but I also felt stronger, more efficient, and far more confident heading into Hood to Coast. Her guidance, exercises, and attention to detail helped me train smarter and stay healthy through the process.
What stood out most was how supportive and encouraging she was every step of the way. I never felt like “just another patient.” If you’re a runner/athlete dealing with pain, gait issues, or training for an event, I highly recommend working with Elevate Physical Therapy!

Li-Zandré has helped me get back on track with my cross country and track training
multiple times in a relatively short timeframe when nothing else I tried for my nagging hamstring pain worked. She is super knowledgeable and so supportive, encouraging, and passionate when it comes to helping her patients reach their goals. She has been such a huge help to me in staying healthy so I can keep competing and doing what I love. I would highly recommend Li-Zandré and Elevate Physical Therapy to anyone in need of PT.

Li-Zandre is a phenomenal Physical Therapist... easily one of the best I've gotten to work with. She has worked directly with a number of athletes inside of our collegiate program for distance runners, and has successfully helped numerous athletes get back to full health efficiently. The range of her expertise is immense, as I think every athlete who has seen her has presented with different issues. Li-Zandre takes the time to listen to you; she really wants to understand the athletes are experiencing and help them take the next logical steps on their path from injury to wellness. I couldn't give her a higher recommendation. She's excellent.

Elevate has been excellent in their treatment plans and therapy for myself and my own mother

both of us had thorough evaluations that were explained in a way that was easy to digest. then we both received specific treatment plans that addressed our needs and helped us work towards becoming pain-free

Matt went out of his way to follow up and make sure we were progressing well. Elevate PT are the only physical therapists I will work with!

Matt (AKA Dr Miller) is the best PT who has ever helped us. He is intelligent and knowledgeable with excellent personal skills. My wife is making much better progress than I had expected, largely due to his personal attention.

- Randy

Matt was so patient and kind! He answered all my questions and gave me hints on making my home safer! He gave me exercises to do to strengthen my knees and back! He did the exercises with me making sure I understood how to do them! Thank you Matt!

Li-Zandre is amazing! I had been struggling with hip pain for over three months and in just two weeks she got me back to running almost 40 mile weeks (from being able to run 0). I feel super strong now as well which is comforting for the future. She also wasn’t just a physical therapist, she knew me on a personal level as well and that goes a long way.

Dr. Philbrook is literally the best Physical Therapist I have ever seen. She is directly responsible for me being able to have a normal life.

I have had 6 Physical Therapists and 2 Chiropractors over the last 10 years and she is the only one who helped alleviate my pain and gave me increased mobility. All of the other practitioners I have seen had me do the exact same exercises and stretches the previous practitioners did even though I told them they didn't work before. Dr. Philbrook took the time to listen to me and gave me a complete neurological exam before deciding what course of action she wanted me to take. All the others seemed to be using the same play book, "Oh head-on car crash, that's on page 128". Some of the practitioners didn't even take the time to examine me before deciding what treatment they wanted me to follow. Bottom line, go see Dr. Philbrook, you will be glad you did.
