Dr. Celine Pollander PT, DPT

Doctor of Physical Therapy

Director of Physical Therapy


Dr. Celine Pollander earned her doctorate from Wheeling Jesuit University in 2019, where she

has been working in the outpatient setting ever since. She is certified in integrative dry needling,

and is well-versed in other manual techniques including myofascial trigger point release, joint

mobilizations, cupping, and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization.


She is experienced in working with patients of all ages and backgrounds ranging from

premature infants, to the advanced age on improving overall quality of life. Celine has worked

with a wide-range of diagnoses including preventative care, pre and post-operative rehab,

generalized joint pain, neuromuscular complications, amputations, pelvic floor rehab, people

with disabilities, work-related injuries, athletes, vertigo, fall prevention, as well as more complex

issues that don’t fit into a simple category. She makes sure that treatment is evidence-based

with the newest and up to date research.


Celine understands that there is no cookie-cutter approach to a patient’s care, therefore

prioritizes creating a plan of care that is customized to each person’s individual needs and

therapy goals. Celine’s primary focus is education on the importance of physical therapy, its

benefits, and working with patients on creating their own program in order to give them the best

outcomes, as well as give them the tools and knowledge they need to take control of their own

health.
