He believes his personal experience receiving physical therapy is very important when relating to an athlete during the rehabilitation process.

Dr. DeLisi works diligently to help each and every patient he comes into contact with, not only to progress toward their goals and to become pain-free, but also to find the source of the pain. He loves to provide all of his patients with education on the pathology, etiology, and reasoning behind each treatment as a way to educate them about their body and what occurs during an injury as well as with each step of the recovery process.
