MEET DR. ALIS TORTORELLI, PT, DPT
EVERSTRONG’S NEWEST PHYSICAL THERAPIST
Why did you decide to become a physical therapist?
I always knew I wanted to work in medicine. After changing my major from nursing to special education to athletic training, I added those fields together and landed on physical therapy!
Where's your happy place?
Kaui
Do you have a favorite stretch or exercise?
I still love doing gymnastics “basics” and conditioning with the gymnasts I coach. Otherwise, I’m always up for a good piriformis stretch!
Why Bellingham? What's your favorite part of living here?
I lived in Bellingham before getting married, but I actually live in Mount Vernon now. I grew up in eastern Washington and love this side of the state because in no time at all you can be in the mountains or out on the water!
What's your #1 all time best piece of advice for a young athlete?
I have several pieces of advice...take care of your body, enjoy the moment, & believe in yourself!
What's your favorite local outdoor recreation spot?
Lake Padden
What's one thing that you really want your patients/clients to know about you?
I want you to feel your best in order to achieve your goals!
What motivates you?
I am motivated to be the best I can be for my clients. That means staying current with research and blending that information with what I know about optimal human movement.
