Alexis (Lexi) Kramer
Physical Therapist Assistant
I received my physical therapist assistant (PTA) degree from Oakton community college and became licensed in 2019. I am currently in school to become a licensed massage therapist in order to further help my patients as I have a strong passion for manual therapy.
I began the first 3 years of my PTA career in a fast-paced outpatient orthopedic setting learning as much as I could. Over time I came to realize my strong desire to provide a higher level of quality care for my patients. Which included spending more 1-on-1 time in sessions and having autonomy as a provider in my choice of intervention based on my expertise as a PTA.
I am invested in my continuing education to provide the best care for my patients. I am currently trained in the Graston Technique, LSVT BIG, and hip preservation. I have a strong passion for orthopedics and neurology and love to help heal the body through the power of manual technique alongside reactexercise. I am fascinated by the way exercise has both a physical and mental component in the healing process as it has been a huge part of my own success story. Along with working out, I love to bake goodies, listen to music, and play my piano/ukulele, I enjoy photography and love to help people feel their best.
Lightning Round
A few of Lexi’s favorite things.
I’ve had some bad luck with injuries. I had 12 holes in right knee, many doctors said I should stop playing basketball. David has been able to put me back together. I’m not worried if I get hurt because I know I can come see him and get back to 100%.
I’ve been playing basketball overseas for three years and this last summer was the first time I came to see David consistently. After doing my therapy and all of the exercises David gave me on a regular basis, I had the best season percentage wise that I have ever had.
For the past 2-3 years I had been experiencing right leg pain, back pain, and a slew of other issues. A friend of mine referred me to React and I’m truly amazed by my progress. A few months later and I’m now 100% healed. If you have imbalances, flexibility issues, mobility issues, call React.
I am so indebted to React. For so long, having pain in my shoulder was so normal, I didn’t even think about it. The first time I woke up and walked around for hours before realizing I wasn’t in pain was amazing. I can’t thank them enough for their detailed, careful, and hard work to fix me up.
I came here fresh off a major hip operation and knee repair. My body was completely unbalanced. I think since my time here, we’ve made huge strides I didn’t think were possible. My stability and strength is better than it’s been in probably 10 years. I think it has everything to do with David and the techniques he has used. I’ve never seen anything like it before.
