McPherson’s Elley Paulsen – Volleyball Spotlight – Presented by Advanced Physical Therapy

There have been a variety of injuries that has led McPherson’s Elley Paulsen to go to Advanced Physical Therapy.

From her ankle to her shoulder, Paulsen has depended on APT to provide her recovery from her injuries.

“I would recommend going to APT for any athlete because each person is very sweet and will talk with you through everything,” Paulsen said.

When it comes to her shoulder, a freak accident outside of volleyball caused the issue with her shoulder.

“I play volleyball and have overused it (my shoulder) and had many struggles with it,” Paulsen said. “Then while playing dodgeball, I threw a ball and it popped and went numb. I did a lot of strengthening activities with resistance bands that seem to help a lot. For my shoulder I will go (to APT) for about a month and a half”

Six years ago, Paulsen went to APT for a different issue.

“I have gone to APT before for my ankles,” Paulsen said. “After my ankle surgeries about six years ago, for both of those I went to physical therapy for about two months.”

The way APT was able to lay out how Paulsen could effectively recover was impressive.

“Their mapping out of my treatment plan was giving me all of my appointment dates at the first appointment, while explaining the types of things I would be doing,” Paulsen said.
