Andrea Elwood, PTA
Get to Know Me
My own experiences with injuries and recovery inspired me to become a physical therapist assistant. I understand how discouraging setbacks can feel, and I strive to give each patient the same time, attention, and individualized care I would want for a friend or family member. My goal is to help patients make meaningful progress toward their personal physical therapy goals and feel supported throughout the process.
I value serving the hardworking individuals and families in our community, including farmers, veterans, industry workers, teachers, and outdoor enthusiasts. I also have specialized training through the Road Runners Club of America and especially enjoy working with runners of all experience levels, from those preparing for their first 5K to seasoned marathoners. Treatment may incorporate manual therapy, running gait analysis, and movement mechanics analysis for return-to-work goals.
Outside the clinic, I enjoy traveling with my family, biking, and hunting. I also hope to complete a half or full marathon in each of the 50 states.
