Elysha Phillpotts​

Physiotherapist, MScPT, BKin, Owner at LIFT

Once upon a time, when I was 12 years old and competing as a provincial-level gymnast, I broke both arms from a fall off the uneven bars. Gymnastics was my life at the time, and I had to endure a gruelling recovery to get back to the sport I loved.

Physiotherapy was naturally a huge part of my life for a while and is almost wholly responsible for the full recovery I was able to make. At some point amidst all the physio appointments, I realized that I too wanted to help people get back to the things they loved, just the way my physiotherapist helped me.

Today, I help clients with general orthopedics, pelvic floor conditions, post-concussion syndrome, and post-surgery complications like ACL reconstruction and fracture recovery. I can relate to what my clients are going through since I had to endure it all myself all those years ago.

As a busy mom of two young children, I can also empathize with the numerous demands placed on new moms. Aside from helping moms with the complications preceding and following childbirth, I’m passionate about helping new mothers strike a balance between taking care of themselves and taking care of their kids.

Whether my client is coming to me for a concussion, a pelvic floor condition, or something else, I’m always amazed by how well the human body can respond to adversity, given the proper program, a little hard work, and the right mindset.
