Nice to meet you!

Hi, I’m Dr. Lesley Toser.

If you’re living with pain, injury, or illness, you may feel frustrated or unsure how to move forward without making things worse. Many people I work with have tried multiple treatments and are still searching for care that truly listens to their experience and supports both their body and mind.

I’m a doctor of physical therapy who specializes in mind–body approaches for people with chronic pain, injury, and complex health conditions. My work is focused on helping you reduce pain, restore movement, rebuild trust in your body, and return to the activities that matter to you—safely and confidently.

Rather than pushing through pain, I use gentle movement to help your body regain strength, flexibility, balance, and comfort. By working with your body’s natural intelligence, we create the conditions for healing, resilience, and long-term change.

You can expect care that is holistic and individualized with advanced treatment techniques to provide you with the highest 1:1 quality care possible.  I will listen to your story, honor your lived experience, and work with you to create a clear, supportive path forward that helps you feel safer in your body and more hopeful about what’s possible.

Together, we focus not just on recovery, but on helping you move toward a life that feels fuller, stronger, and more your own.
