Elise Quinn was born and raised in New Jersey. In 2013 she earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh in health and physical activity, before continuing her studies at Seton Hall University where she earned her doctorate of physical therapy degree in 2017. Elise then moved to Seattle, WA, where she worked at a private national outpatient orthopedic clinic before moving to Seattle Children’s Hospital Sports Therapy in the summer of 2019. Elise’s areas of expertise and interests are in sports medicine, pediatric orthopedics and neurodevelopment, pain science, spondylolisthesis, hip pathologies, pre/post op care, as well as auto- and work-related injuries.

Elise was called back to the east coast after the birth of her nephew in the spring of 2021.

Elise enjoys traveling, cooking, trying new restaurants, staying active (training for Spartan races), playing and watching sports (Go Pittsburgh!), spending time with family and friends, and exploring all the Washington, DC, metro area has to offer.

Elise commits to treating every patient as she would want to be treated. She focuses on individualized patient care with the ultimate objective of assisting them in living their most fulfilling lives, providing them with the tools to excel outside of physical therapy. She listens carefully and creates a plan of care with her patient’s goal in mind.
