Originally from Ukraine, Sasha immigrated to the United States with her family in 1989. She graduated from Occidental College where she majored in Art History and Fine Arts and minored in Russian and Spanish. After working in advertising and graphic design she decided to pursue her original passion of Physical Therapy. Sasha became certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine and worked as a Personal Trainer while she earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Sasha joined GGPT in October 2010 and is dedicated to helping each of her patients meet and exceed their rehabilitation goals. Her treatment style is based on a true "hands-on" approach with a strong background in various manual techniques, including deep tissue and myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilization, and muscle energy. She combines her manual skills with a neuromuscular re-education/therapeutic exercise program that is injury specific yet addresses the entire neuromusculoskeletal system to optimize her patient?s recovery and function.

Sasha always aims to expand her knowledge and treatment skills with programs in continuing education and so far has attended courses pertaining to functional biomechanics/physical performance from the Gary Gray Institute, Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® (McKenzie Method?), high-velocity low-amplitude thrust (HVLAT) from the Spinal Manipulation Institute, and Myofascial Decompression Techniques.

Her preferred activities outside of work include dancing (ballroom/salsa), martial arts (Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu), Kettlebell training, and TRX. She has also played soccer and tennis in the past and is starting to take up cycling.
