Regan Bristol

(PT, DPT | CCCE)

Regan Bristol, PT, DPT is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. Regan continued her post-graduate studies at Plymouth State University where she earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. While at both universities, Regan continued to play on the club volleyball teams after winning three state championships in high school.

Regan has experience in both outpatient orthopedic and inpatient rehabilitation and during her experiences, she was able to work with an amputee population and in an aquatic therapy setting. Regan has a strong interest in the outpatient orthopedic setting as it gives her the opportunity to treat specific to the individual with various exercise-based and manual techniques. Regan is also trained in Integrative Dry Needling.

Since starting with Elliott Physical Therapy, Regan has taken an FMT Kinesiology taping course and integrates what she learned into her daily practice. She has also taken the Spinal Manipulation (SMT-1) course through the American Academy of Manipulative Therapy and she has gained experience with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) which can develop after an injury, surgery, stroke, or heart attack. Regan has also treated an increased number of neurological-based diagnoses.

We are pleased to announce that Regan is taking on an additional role as our Clinic Coordinator for Clinical Education (CCCE). She is perfect for this position as she understands the importance of the clinical rotation and carries a deep appreciation for the clinical education students themselves. Her own post-graduate studies were completed in a relatively new physical therapy program and even then, Regan stepped up to help, making decisions to develop and improve the program for future students. At Elliott Physical Therapy, her priority will be in helping these students succeed throughout their clinical placements.

Regan grew up on Cape Cod in Barnstable where she loves relaxing by the beach and wakeboarding in the ocean. She spends her winters snowboarding the local Northeast mountains and attending various Boston sports games.
