Discover Dr. Erica Zippel's insights on her experiences in the remarkable state of Alaska and her commitment to advancing her work with Alaska physical therapy.
Living and working in Alaska has taught me that accessing care isn’t always easy or safe due to challenging weather and remote locations. That’s why I’m committed to providing home-based rehab and wellness consulting tailored to your needs.
What is Direct Access?
Direct access allows you to schedule a session with me, a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, without requiring a doctor’s referral. This means you can receive care faster, addressing your pain or injury immediately. If further consultation with your physician is needed, I’ll determine that within the first visit or two, ensuring a seamless approach to your care.
Why Schedule with Me?
When you choose to work with me, you’ll receive:
Personalized Attention: One-on-one consulting in your home environment, at your convenience.
Experienced Care: Over 10 years as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, helping thousands of patients recover, prevent injuries, and achieve their wellness goals.
Daily Access: Clients can easily reach me with questions or schedule follow-ups as needed.
Comprehensive Telehealth Services: Video visits to assess your movement patterns and address any concerns with tailored exercise and movement strategies. I’ll demonstrate techniques to ensure your safety and confidence during sessions.
How I Can Help You Stay Active
Alaska is full of active individuals who love outdoor sports, regardless of the season. Whether you’re transitioning from hiking and kayaking to cross-country skiing and snowboarding or dealing with an old injury flaring up, I’m here to help.
I specialize in:
Injury Prevention: Developing personalized programs to prevent injuries as you stay active year-round.
Rehabilitation: Assisting in recovery from surgeries (e.g., hip, knee, shoulder, or back) in the comfort of your home.
Pre-Surgery Preparation: Guiding you through exercise programs to strengthen your body before surgery for better outcomes.
Why It Matters
Staying ahead of injuries with expert guidance can mean the difference between enjoying your favorite activities or missing an entire season. My virtual physical therapy sessions make it easy for you to stay active, recover faster, and prevent future issues—all without leaving your home.
