WEST SEATTLE
Corinne graduated from Northeastern University in Boston with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2019 and left the East Coast for the West Coast soon after graduation. She grew up in NY and swam competitively in high school and participated in a few triathlons (sport and olympic) in college with her mom. Corinne has lived in Seattle for 4 years and most recently was working at a small outpatient clinic in Queen Anne before making West Seattle her home. Her treatment approach is collaborative and emphasizes fostering independence and resiliency to coach patients with exercise, education, and manual therapy to improve strength, function and knowledge of how to minimize injury risk with meaningful activities. Corinne loves teaching patients about anatomy, pain science, body mechanics, and physics and she is always seeking out the most up to date information on how to best serve the people she works with. Outside of the clinic, Corinne has fun hiking, skiing, biking, running and strength training to support her hobbies and inside the clinic, she enjoys helping her patients feel strong and confident to get back to the activities that bring them joy.
TESTIMONALS
I am so thankful to have found Corinne! This is my first experience at Biojunction and it’s all awesome. Anna and the front desk folks are genuinely friendly and nice to be around, the intake and scheduling are the human-type of communication, not the corporate-form version.
Corinne Lizzio is an extraordinary physical therapist. Very intelligent, thoroughly knowledgeable, tuned in to fine details and complex connections, and sensitive to personal styles and working with individuals effectively. Corinne regularly demonstrates her intelligence when I describe a sensation or issue that I’m experiencing. She is ready with a knowledgeable response that resonates with my experience, then guides me through a stretch and exercise that addresses the exact issue. It is a little bit magical sometimes. She is absolutely progressive in her work and earned my wary trust very early in our work together. My issue revolves around my shoulder, a complex joint, that had 37 years to develop before I figured it out. I’ve seen more than a dozen PTs, half as many chiropractors, hundreds of massage practitioners (esp students!) and a surgery team to address my chronic pain. I’ve never worked with anyone as effective as Corinne, not even in the same league. She has an incredible eye for physical issues and deep knowledge of the workings and processes needed for change. This cannot be overstated. She understands these so well that her explanations are thorough and extremely informative. My sessions are well-balanced. I always feel fully heard and well-understood. The exercises are on target, satisfying, and progressive. And exciting, the progress is very exciting. Her manual therapy is incredibly effective. I prefer “mean hands” and cruelly deep pressure to relieve the chronic pain I have throughout my muscular system, but Corinne does not have mean hands. Despite my initial disappointment, I have experienced so much relief from her “smart and kind” hands. I am so beyond thankful to have been matched with Corinne as my physical therapist. I especially recommend her for people dealing with unclear or complex issues. Highly recommend.

Corinne is an amazing therapist. She really cares, listens, and watches you carefully. Corrects you instead of letting you try to figure it out. Her full attention is on you. I have been going to physical therapists for years. I finally feel like I’m not wasting my time, and it’s really working. And I do see the change that it’s happening. I do feel so much better because of her knowing what she’s doing. Very knowledgeable.
