About
Dr Lisa Clarkson
Welcome to Dancing Tree Physical Therapy and Wellness!
My vision is to support you in achieving whole-body wellness through compassionate, individualized care. My mission is to partner with you on your health journey, using my expertise in physical therapy and functional medicine to help you thrive.
A little more about me... I earned a B.S. in Ballet from Indiana University and spent over a decade as a professional dancer. Pilates played a vital role in my recovery from my first injury, transforming not only my dancing but also my perspective on healing. This experience inspired me to become a Certified Pilates Instructor and later an Instructor Trainer.
After facing a more complex injury, I came to understand that true healing requires attention to every part of our being—physical, emotional, and beyond. This realization led me to pursue a Doctorate in Physical Therapy at the University of Tennessee and to earn my Orthopedic Specialty Certification.
Still, I felt there was more to learn about supporting the body’s natural ability to heal. That’s what drew me to functional medicine, which focuses on uncovering and addressing the root causes of imbalance to restore wellness from within.
At Dancing Tree, my goal is to offer an integrated, whole-person approach to healing and health. I love helping people return to the activities and lives they love. It would be an honor to walk alongside you in reaching your wellness goals
