Ellie Thornburg, DPT

I am delighted and humbled to be a part of a field dedicated to lifelong learning and building therapeutic alliances. I am passionate about meeting people where they’re at and strive to empower and support patients through their individual journey of recovery and restoration. I believe in utilizing a holistic, multimodal approach that prioritizes each patient’s unique values, learning style, goals, and quality of life. I developed a special interest in women’s health and pelvic floor rehab early in my exposure to physical therapy and pursued a clinical internships and coursework that further grew my enthusiasm for this patient population.

I have played basketball my whole life and will always appreciate the lessons team sports have taught me. I continue to enjoy a team-oriented approach professionally through the opportunity to collaborate with other healthcare team providers and therapists. As a collegiate athlete, I experienced a knee injury which gave me first-hand experience as a patient of physical therapy, ultimately influencing me to pursue PT as a career.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, staying active outdoors, thrift shopping, exploring museums, and exercising at Orange Theory Fitness.
