Innovative Physical Therapy

Dr. Alina Dawson, Geriatric Clinical Specialist, LSVT-BIG Certified, and Registered Yoga Teacher, founded Full Distance with a unique vision for how her practice would provide physical therapy. Physical therapy at Full Distance is meant to provide each client with the information, attention, and motivation to go the full distance for themselves. Our physical therapists are well-rounded and constantly evolving their skill sets to provide the best care for each and every patient. Our unique therapists work alongside Alina and her team, providing comprehensive treatment plans. We encourage our patients to go above and beyond, providing them the care and services they need to live an active and healthy life.

About The Owner

“I am Dr. Alina Dawson, owner & CEO of Full Distance, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Geriatric Clinical Specialist, LSVT-BIG Certified, and Registered Yoga Teacher. After being a lifetime fitness guru, playing Division II college basketball and tennis, finishing 18 marathons, finishing three full-distance triathlons, and raising three children, I gained a unique view of how fitness & wellness intertwine. In 2016, I started my own business, Dr. Alina LLC. Over the past six years, I have changed my self-perception and my view of the world around me. I have learned to accept the good and bad in life and strive to handle whatever comes my way. Having a spiritual awakening or transformation is unique to each person. My transformation brought me back to finish what I had started in 2016. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, testing my faith, I rebranded Dr. Alina, LLC, to Full Distance…”
