MY NAME IS DR. ALEX ANDERSON, BUT YOU CAN JUST CALL ME ALEX. I AM A DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY, WHO IS BOARD CERTIFIED IN ORTHOPAEDIC PHYSICAL THERAPY AND FELLOWSHIP-TRAINED IN ORTHOPAEDIC MANUAL PHYSICAL THERAPY. I AM DRY NEEDLING CERTIFIED AND ALSO TREAT WOMEN’S HEALTH CONDITIONS.

I am from the D.C. area originally and will always call Maryland home. I also have a special place in my heart for California, as that is where I received my PT education. My Fellowship program at the University of Illinois at Chicago brought me to the midwest, which is where I am currently practicing.

My passion for starting The Physical Therapy Academy is to treat pain and movement dysfunction. I believe we are all meant to move and achieve pain free, efficient movement. This is my goal for all my clients. My knowledge of pain science, motor control, and exercise physiology allows me to incorporate techniques to retrain faulty movement.

In addition to orthopaedics, I also treat a variety of women’s health conditions. Believe it or not, the pelvic floor also consists of muscle, which needs to be strong and functional, just like the rest of the body.

By providing one-on-one, personalized care, I have discovered that better movement is possible for anyone willing to take on the challenge. The best part is that by working together, we can achieve this through thorough, efficient, and effective collaboration. So let’s get in touch and get you on your way to better movement.

MY NAME IS ALYSSA BELL, NICE TO MEET YOU! .

I’m a certified Classical Pilates instructor in both Apparatus and Mat work, with three years of experience teaching the classical system to clients of all levels. I’ve also developed tailored programs for prenatal and postnatal Pilates, supporting women through every stage of their journey.

My passion for movement began as a young dancer and athlete, where I quickly recognized the need for pain management and injury prevention through mindful movement. I believe deeply in client education, full mind-body wellness, and the healing power of consistent, intentional practice.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with a wide range of bodywork professionals—including chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists, trainers, and M.A.T. specialists—to deliver well-rounded care to my clients.

Outside the studio, I enjoy meditation, Tai Chi, spa days, and staying active through group fitness classes.
