Ellie Thornburg, DPT

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

Ellie has played basketball her whole life and will always appreciate the lessons team sports have taught her. She continues to enjoy a team-oriented approach professionally through the opportunity to collaborate with other healthcare team providers and therapists. As a collegiate athlete, she experienced a knee injury which gave her first-hand experience as a patient of physical therapy, ultimately informing her current practice as a PT.

Outside of work, Ellie enjoys spending time with her husband, staying active outdoors, thrift shopping, exploring museums, and exercising at Orange Theory Fitness.
