As a former high school and college long-distance swimmer, she developed a particular interest in shoulder, neck, and arm overhead issues commonly experienced by athletes such as swimmers, softball and baseball players.

During her pursuit of a doctorate, Dr. Weiss focused on cardiopulmonary therapy and gained valuable experience working in long-term acute care hospitals, where she dealt with patients with complex medical diagnoses. Today, her primary focus is on improving pelvic floor function and addressing women’s health and cardiopulmonary issues.

Through careful listening and observation, she develops a tailored treatment plan that takes into account the specific needs of each individual. Dr. Weiss remains attentive throughout the treatment process, making necessary adjustments as required. Her approach is guided by the principles of individualized care, comfort, and healing.
