TESTIMONIALS

“I can’t say enough good things about Biojunction Physical Therapy. I worked with Elissa post ACL surgery. She was such an incredible Physical Therapist, truly cared deeply about patience care, both mentally and physically. I felt so supported through ACL Recovery, which can be a real emotional rollercoaster. However, every week PT gave me the motivation I needed to get stronger and stay at it. If you’re a woman you know how epic it is to have badass lady doctors/physical therapists to work with. Makes a huge difference, in my opinion. If you need PT, go to Biojunciton. The staff is great, and Elissa is the best!”

“Elissa worked with me for a couple months during my ACL reconstruction rehab. Elissa was great, highly recommend. She was very in tuned with my specific recovery and progress. She gave me the confidence I needed to continue pushing through such a challenging rehab and was there to help when I needed.”
