Meet Alex


Laura and Alex are incredible physical therapists! They take the time to listen and understand what’s going on overall, beyond the specific ailment or issue. I appreciate their expertise and professionalism. From the first visit, I knew they would do everything they could to help restore my body. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Core Physical Therapy. Alex Spencer is a rock star!! Due to a back injury, I could barely bend at the waist on my first visit. Thanks to Alex, I have seen much improvement after a few visits. She is very knowledgeable, caring and explains everything well. Each visit I’m also provided with new stretches to try at home or as I’m traveling for work.
