Eliot Smalheiser

Originally from Chicago, IL, I moved to Boston for university, and have become entranced with the mountains and ocean. I graduated from Simmons University in 2016, as a licensed physical therapist. I have outpatient clinic as well as home care experience. I have studied with School Yoga Institute as well as with John F. Barnes, PT Myofascial Release Therapy continuing education.

As a person who identity as “Queer”, I have experience and exposure to environments I have assumed was welcoming and was not, as well as have assumed was NOT safe and turned out to be rewarding! Unfortunately those including health care are still inconclusive on it’s stance for safe-space. I am passionate about creating this safe space for my clients, and helping every body feel at-home in their skin.

Over the years, I became frustrated with insurance companies limiting people who were making positive gains, and cutting them off without explanation, including myself!! Since then I have made it my passion to provide services to my clients without third-party-payer requirements or restrictions, and have instead turned toward the client and myself to establish goals and plan of care to excel. On their terms, with their consent.
