Alixandra Lakow, DPT, OCS, PT

I became a physical therapist because it combines my passion for sports and fitness with the science behind how the body functions and recovers from illness and injury. There is nothing more rewarding for me than to see my patient’s progress and return to meaningful activities. I had my first experience with physical therapy when I was in high school and suffered a wrist injury while playing tennis. The rehab I underwent allowed me to continue playing and ultimately go on to play at the collegiate level. I have worked in hospitals and rehab settings, so I understand the importance of maintaining your independence and mobility and will work with each patient to develop individualized goals. I enjoy working with a variety of orthopaedic conditions from youth athletes to older adults. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, running, traveling, hiking, and spending time outdoors.
