Our Story

Lisa Kelly, PT, CSCI, C-NDT/A, C-DN, started Alternative Physical Therapy in 2002 to pursue her dream of providing outpatient Physical Therapy in the way her family and friends deserved to be treated. She has created a warm, upscale clinic with private treatment rooms and open well-equipped gym areas.

Lisa has over 25 years of inpatient rehab experience and spent 15 years at Flower Rehabilitation Service specializing in manual alignment and orthopedic and neurological rehab.  She combines expertise, one-on-one care, deep compassion, and the mission to meet each patient where they are starting from, honoring their goals and helping them to ” feel five years younger”. 

Lisa uses her 45 years of Physical Therapy experience in a variety of settings from acute orthopedic and neurorehabilitation to sports medicine and outpatient physical therapy. She specializes in extensive manual soft tissue alignment, joint mobilizations, Zero Balancing (a powerful touch therapy for body and mind), myofascial release, craniosacral, and visceral manipulation with extra training in movement-based therapies, and analysis of alignment. She has been NDT (Neuro-Developmental) trained and certified since her 1995 training at the Rehab Institute of Chicago.
