Dr. Eliza Cohen, PT, DPT

Dr. Eliza Cohen graduated summa cum laude from Northeastern University with a B.S. in Rehabilitation Science and as a Doctor of Physical Therapy with a Sports Strength and Conditioning concentration in 2017. Eliza trained and competed as an elite tennis player with the Bollettieri academy and played varsity tennis and volleyball throughout high school. These experiences laid the foundation for her passion for fitness in college, where she became an ACSM certified personal trainer. As a personal trainer, Eliza displays a strong interest in strength training with a focus on incorporating unilateral activities and movements in all planes to create a well rounded approach to fitness. 

Dr. Cohen’s treatment philosophy involves evaluating each person holistically. This includes examining movement patterns and functional strength, as well as discussing nutrition and lifestyle habits in order to identify the root cause of pain. She utilizes her manual therapy skills, including soft tissue release techniques, dry needling and mechanical therapy in conjunction with her extensive exercise knowledge to improve functional strength and body mechanics.

Eliza moved from Boston to Wilmington at the end of 2021. She spent the last 5 years treating in outpatient orthopedic settings, including 3 years inside of a CrossFit gym. During this time, Eliza dove head first into the CrossFit world and now has a great appreciation for the athletes and its community. Eliza is passionate about working with active individuals in order to keep them performing the activities they love. When Eliza isn’t working, you can find her at the gym lifting weights or performing a WOD, stand up paddleboarding, relaxing at the beach, strolling around a farmer’s market or enjoying Wilmington with her husband and dog, Piper.
