Elisha Plesich received her B.S. in Exercise Science in 2002 from Mount Union College and her M.S. in Exercise Physiology in 2004 from West Virginia University. She worked as a chiropractic assistant for more than two years before pursuing her Associates Degree in Physical Therapy Assisting from Kent State University. She joined Summit Physical Therapy in 2010 as a PTA student in the Follansbee office and now primarily works in the Chester office. “My interest in physical therapy began when I was undergoing rehab for a high school athletics injury. I saw such a benefit from physical therapy and chose this career to help others and see their lives transformed. It is a blessing to work in a family-oriented and casual, yet professional, environment at Summit Physical Therapy.” Elisha spends her personal time with her husband and daughter and is an advocate for fitness and wellness with her dedication to running and weight lifting.
