Lizzie received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences (USA) in San Marcos, CA in 2013. She specializes in functional manual therapy, improving efficiency of movement and posture, and treating chronic pain conditions. She treats from head to toe, including migraines, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, and dizziness. She also specializes in back, neck and postural conditions.
She started her training in PT early on with Tassinari Physical Therapy before achieving her DPT. Becoming part of the Tassinari team after graduating from her undergraduate program in 2007, she worked closely with Marcia and Rusty for more than 3 years helping to manage the office, and assisting Marcia with the development of the SHUBA program. She helped with classes at the local church, participated in programs at the YMCA and local community centers, and assisted in developing the instructional materials for her postural program.
She is passionate about patient care, considering the full patient history and takes a whole-body approach to treatment. She has completed several continuing education courses that have resulted in building a thorough manual therapy approach. These include coursework through the Institute of Physical Art (IPA) and the Doctoral Program at University of Saint Augusting, as well becoming a Pain Free Performance Specialist for improved functional mobility and strengthening.
Lizzie was born and raised in San Diego, CA and remains close to all her family here. She enjoys spending time with her partner, Wayne, and his son, attending his baseball games, hiking, camping, and enjoying their yard with their three dogs.
