Episode 88: Female Fridays with Dr. Rena Eleazar, DPT

Hey everyone! Thank you for joining me for another Female Friday! I am with Dr. Rena Eleazar, who I have sadly never met in person but totally feel like I know through Instagram. She is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and also is a strength and conditioning coach. 

Dr. Rena Eleazar is based out of New York City and has been in business for 4 years. She focused on athletic rehab and working on their performance and getting them back into their sport. Finding a niche in ultimate frisbee (who would have thought?!) She has found a great way to help these athletes and others get back to the sport.

In this episode we discuss:

• Who Dr. Eleazar is, her business, and who she serves
• Her journey into entrepreneurship and owning her own practice 
• How Crossfit kickstarted her physical therapy career
• Where and how she sees and helps clients
• Getting clients and building relationships
• Common misconceptions people have of physical therapy 
• Working with the NBA G League 
• How Dr. Eleazar treats her personal clients
• The pandemic and how it affected her practice 
• Physical therapists and how they help with mental health 
•  Strength coaches and “rules” they have set 
• How training changes and why fitness professionals need to stay on top of it
• Dr. Eleazar’s most challenging parts of her business 
• What surprised Dr. Eleazar about owning a business
