Liz Amuchastegui PT, DPT (“Uh-MOOCH-ah-STEH-gee”) received her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Regis University in 2015 with Alpha Sigma Nu honors. She loves to work
with patients and athletes of all ages, helping them understand their treatment plan and how it relates to their goals. She seeks to give her patients the tools they need to learn to take care of their own bodies and get back to doing the things they love while addressing the root cause of their problems and preventing recurrences. Liz enjoys treating all orthopedic conditions but particularly the shoulder. She is also skilled at treating hypermobile individuals and athletes seeking a quick but safe return to sports. She has a keen eye for adverse movement patterns and uses a hands-on and detailed approach.

Liz also works with local swim clubs on injury prevention programs and technique optimization. Before working as a physical therapist, Liz studied at Stanford University, and competed on the swim team, achieving two 2nd place individual NCAA Div. 1 finishes. She also competed in national and international competitions, including three Olympic Trials and World University Games.

As a registered USA swimming coach, Liz teaches swim lessons and coaches competitive swimmers, including “dryland” swimming strength sessions. In her free time, she enjoys hiking,mountain biking, skiing, camping, and backpacking with her husband Nick.
