About
Dr Lisa Clarkson
Welcome to Dancing Tree! My vision is that through our work together you will achieve whole body wellness. My mission is to use my skills in physical therapy and functional medicine to partner with you in your health journey.
This vision is influenced by a lifetime of dancing. In pursuit of my childhood dream, I completed a B.S. in Ballet at Indiana University and spent more than 10 years as a professional dancer. I used Pilates to rehab from my first injury which inspired me to become a Pilates instructor. After a subsequent and more challenging injury, I realized that in order to heal, we need to be well in all parts of our being. This motivated me to complete a Doctorate of Physical Therapy at the University of Tennessee and to obtain my Orthopedic Specialty Certification. For past 10 years, I have been practicing physical therapy and have been part of the dance medicine team at Body Dynamics, Inc in Falls Church, Virginia. Due to my interest in whole being health, I have begun a functional health practice, which aims to resolve root cause imbalances so the body can heal itself. I am also furthering my education with the Academy of Pelvic Health. I enjoy helping my clients return to the things they love; it would be an honor to partner with you in reaching your wellness goals.
