Elizabeth Li, PT, DPT
Elizabeth has a long time relationship with the Upper West Side. She has lived in the neighborhood, attended LaGuardia Highschool while pursuing her interests in art. However, life had a different plan in store. Her interest in sciences began to grow, specifically in anatomy and physiology. She put herself on the pre-med track, but the amazing field of physical therapy was too attractive to ignore. After graduating CUNY Hunter with a Biochemistry degree, she leaped into SUNY Downstate’s Physical Therapy program and graduated with a doctorate.
Her journey as a physical therapist has given her much experience in the industry. She has experience in outpatient setting treating patients with various orthopedic and neuromuscular impairments (such as chronic pain, osteoarthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, impingement syndrome, herniated disc, post-fall rehabilitation, post-operative rehabilitation and more). Her treatment philosophy follows the biopsychosocial model, exercise based with emphasis on patient education. She takes pride in her ability for incorporation of manual techniques to correct muscular imbalances and encourage normal movement patterns to improve patient’s participation in daily activities and enhance quality of life.
Her most recent passion has been pelvic floor rehabilitation, specifically Women’s Health. She has taken continuing education courses through Herman & Wallace to offer evidence-based treatment to a stigmatized part of the body. She is grateful to have a part in empowering her patients to be more connected with their whole self.
Outside the clinic, Elizabeth likes to jog, play board games, travel, indulge in Netflix, cook, reflect and find humor in the perpetual cycle of life. Let’s enjoy our finite time as much as we physically and emotionally can.
Yoshihiro Miura, PT, DPT
Yoshi has been practicing as a licensed Physical Therapist since 2016. His love of animals initially veered his academic path towards obtaining a degree in Zoology from Oswego State University, but deciding the human connection was more to his liking, shifted gears towards pursuing a career in PT, graduating with a Biology / Biochemistry double major, and attending Columbia University for his Doctor of Physical Therapy. His time spent working in several outpatient orthopedic clinics has given him experience working with a wide range of populations from high school athletes to geriatrics, and everything in between.
In his free time, Yoshi loves to hit the boulders at the rock climbing gym, play board games with good friends, and work on papercraft including origami and quilling.
Andrew Pearson, DPT
Andrew is a NYS licensed physical therapist who came to the profession after a prior career working in sports media for both college and professional sports organizations. He received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree from CUNY College of Staten Island and has treated a wide range of orthopedic conditions, including guiding patients in their return from joint replacement and tendon and ligament rupture surgeries. While the potential for treating athletes was a major point of initial interest for entering the field, Andrew understands that sometimes just being able to do “the little things” of daily life without pain can be enough for certain patients and works hard to identify the best way to lead them on their road to recovery. When not thinking about muscles, bones and exercises, Andrew is likely watching or reading about his beloved New York Mets and planning his next road trip to a ballpark he hasn’t yet visited.
