Our Healthcare Philosophy

Welcome to Connected Movement Physical Therapy. We believe in an individualized, whole-body approach to your health and longevity. Dr. Alexis will take a deep dive into your medical history, daily lifestyle, and movement patterns to uncover the true source of your pain. Together, we will build a roadmap tailored exactly to your needs, ensuring you stay connected to the work, activities, and communities you love. But true wellness is proactive, not just reactive. You shouldn't have to wait until you are injured or sidelined to receive expert guidance. Through specialized individual and group prevention services, we empower you to build resilience, decrease your risk of injury, and move with purpose every single day.

Meet Dr. Alexis

Dr. Alexis Henley, PT, DPT, is a WSSU graduate and movement expert dedicated to helping people live without physical limitation. She brings a unique blend of expertise to her practice, drawing from her background in orthopedic rehabilitation, population health, and preventative education.

Recognizing that patients rarely get the dedicated time and invested partnership they deserve in standard medical settings, Dr. Alexis founded Connected Movement Physical Therapy. She takes a holistic, whole-body approach to your care. She will not only help you manage aches and pains, but also teach you how to become a strong, educated advocate for yourself within the broader healthcare system.

Whether she is coaching a patient or pursuing her own fitness goals, Dr. Alexis believes in moving with purpose. Outside the clinic, you can find her riding her bike, at a local yoga studio, or walking her dogs.
