Her clinical philosophy centers on being the first line of defense for musculoskeletal issues through skilled evaluation, expert hands-on techniques, and personalized treatment plans.

She also serves as clinical staff in a DPT program and works in University Relations with a nationwide PT organization.
Outside the Clinic
When she's not in the clinic or mentoring the next generation of PTs, Ashlee stays busy with her husband and two children. Her favorite pastime? Going on cruises as a family.
She jokes that she turns hobbies into side hustles—and she fully embraces it.
