Your therapist is here… probably. Somewhere. Maybe behind the foam roller. Turns out the hardest part of today wasn’t the exercises — it was finding your therapist! 👀🎃

Meet our newest Physical Therapist, Dr. Elizabeth Cristy!

Elizabeth is a local from Charlotte, North Carolina. From her childhood and teen years playing soccer to being active through her young adult years, she’s always been interested in improving movement and managing pain to improve physical function. She earned her undergraduate degrees in Biology and Psychology from East Carolina University and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Elizabeth went on to obtain her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Wingate University and became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) in 2023.

Her passion for physical therapy began after assisting her mother with her treatment and recovery following breast cancer, an experience that inspired her to pursue a career focused on helping others regain strength and confidence through movement.

Outside of work, Elizabeth enjoys reading, playing pickleball, spending time at the beach, and working out. She is passionate about helping others reach their goals through movement, strength, and education.

Elizabeth will be seeing patients at our Cotswold office on Mondays and Thursdays, and our South office on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Fridays.

ELDOA exercises! ELDOA basically stands for fascial stretching for joint decompression. These techniques allow you to create more space between specific vertebrae of the spine. There is a different pose for each level! Rounding and stiffness of the upper back is very common, especially if you have a desk job, and can also happen as we age. These poses address T6-7 and T8-9 levels, which are common locations of stiffness. To learn more about the benefits of ELDOA and which poses are best for your symptoms, reach out to us today!
