Liz Rogers, PT, DPT

Physical Therapist (She/Her)

Liz graduated from the University of Montana in 2012 with her doctorate in physical therapy and began to pursue specialization in Women’s Health. Initially, this was a way to stand out in the market as a new grad, but almost immediately she began to recognize how underserved women are in their health care. She continued her education through the Herman and Wallace Institute while maintaining her orthopedic practice development. She uses her skill set to view the pelvis from the outside in and inside out. She likes to say, “If it attaches to, or passes through the pelvis, I treat it!” 

Liz’s practice is inspired by sports and movement, drawing from her own experience with swimming, ballet, collegiate volleyball, and a lifetime of horseback riding. She enjoys working in her yard/garden, horseback riding, making art and playing games with her elementary aged kids, and spending time at the track where her kids drive race cars.

Angie Maxwell, PT, DPT, WCS

Angie Maxwell, PT, DPT, WCS is the clinic owner and lead physical therapist. She graduated from Eastern Washington University in 2013 with her Doctorate of Physical Therapy. Angie is a Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Women’s Health Physical Therapy credentialed through the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties. This means she is an acknowledged expert in pelvic health physical therapy and qualified to treat the most complex cases for all genders and age groups. In her career she has worked in various hospital systems and large private practices before deciding to begin her own practice.

She opened her practice because she identified a lack of support in the community for pelvic health, especially for post-partum care and osteoporosis treatment. She is thrilled to finally realize her dream of creating a physical therapy clinic where those with pelvic health dysfunction can feel cared for and receive the specialized treatment they need.

She has advanced training in identifying pelvic floor dysfunction and treating functional and movement disorders related to pregnancy, post-partum, incontinence, sexual function, female athletics, menopause and osteoporosis/osteopenia. Angie uses a trauma-informed, emotion-focused, holistic, whole-body approach to reduce patient pain and movement dysfunction.
