MEET THE TEAM

DR. ALLISON BEALE, PT, DPT

Founder | Physical Therapist | Human who gives a damn

I started Formation Physical Therapy + Performance because I was tired of the traditional healthcare system—rushed visits, generic care plans, and treatment limited by what insurance says it will cover—not what your body actually needs. You deserve better. You deserve a PT who actually listens, cares, and builds a plan that works for you.

Before becoming a physical therapist, I worked for nearly a decade as a school psychologist. That background still shows up in my sessions—because getting people out of pain isn’t just about the body. It’s about helping you feel seen, heard, and in control again.

I specialize in working with athletic, motivated adults who want more than a quick fix. I take the time to understand your goals, dig deep into the root cause of your pain, and build a plan that gets you back to doing what you love—with more confidence than before.

I understand how athletes move—because I’ve dabbled in a ton of sports:

• NCAA DIII Softball (Pacific Lutheran University)

• Dance team

• Track & field

• Ultimate frisbee

• Flag football

• Pull for Pride deadlift competition

• CrossFit Level 2 Coach

• …and yes, I’ve even tested out pole dancing thanks to a few brave clients.

When I haven’t tried a sport yet, I’ll go learn it—because knowing what your body goes through helps me treat you better.

Outside of the gym, you’ll most likely see me working out with my awesome wife, heading to the beach, or cheering on the Hokies and Seattle Storm!
