Annalise Thompson PT, DPT

Annalise is passionate about Physical Therapy as it is a unique facet of healthcare that encompasses in-depth medical knowledge, fitness expertise, hands-on techniques, and influences from alternative medicine. She believes that movement is a human right and an under appreciated pillar of our life. She would love to be part of your healthcare journey, wherever that may be. She is especially passionate about treating women who have previously felt dismissed and unheard in their healthcare and giving them a positive experience.

Annalise’s experience includes sports performance, orthopedics, women’s health, pelvic floor muscle training, and Pilates. She utilizes various manual therapy techniques including joint mobilizations, deep tissue mobilization, active release therapy (ART), cupping, and kinesiology taping (KT). Her exercise prescription focuses on optimal form and alignment based on evaluation of your individual anatomy, strength, and functional goals.

Annalise is a board-certified Doctor of Physical Therapy from the Physical Therapy Board of California (PTBC) obtaining her clinical doctorate from San Diego State University. She has her B.S. in Kinesiology and Pre-Physical Therapy from San Diego State University.
