Experience

​Liz’s professional experience as a neurologic physical therapist has been in both inpatient, home care, and outpatient rehabilitation settings in Syracuse NY, Washington, DC and Rockville, MD.​

​

During these experiences she developed a passion for working with those with PD. She truly believes in the benefits for comprehensive education and exercise for those with PD to regain quality of life.

​

Liz focuses on rehabilitation of individuals with a variety of neurological diagnoses and problems with balance and dizziness.  She participates in teaching several courses as an adjunct faculty member in the physical therapy program at SUNY Upstate. She is also a co-investigator in a clinical trial at SUNY Upstate studying the benefits of a community exercise group in those with Parkinson’s Disease.  She is on several national committees and was named volunteer of the year in 2021 for the Degenerative Disease special interest group.

​

In Liz’s free time, she enjoys spending time with her two children, husband, and pugs.  Liz loves gardening, painting, yoga, and baking with her kids.
