I transitioned from a career in writing to physical therapy out of a love of learning people’s stories and wanting to help empower them to create their desired narrative going forward. As a UCSF-educated Doctor of Physical Therapy—with specialization in birth, pregnancy + postpartum, pelvic health, lymphedema, rehabilitative Pilates, and whole-person care— I offer patients individualized, evidence-based and mindful care. I am a certified Pilates for rehabilitation instructor, through the comprehensive Polestar Pilates’ program; and a Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT) through Klose Training. I am committed to providing best-practice, accessible care to individuals from all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds; sexual orientations; and gender/gender non-conforming identities. I work with local organizations to provide equitable access to pelvic health physical therapy. I love to be in the mountains and on the ocean as much as possible, whether running, surfing, or being with my family. Likewise, I am passionate about reading, writing, practicing yoga and Pilates, and opportunities for mindfulness in daily life. My husband, two young children, beloved pup, and I live in Santa Barbara; and I support individuals both locally and virtually. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1605222925109-LYPHR3AP7ONK3B93W5AQ/Marissa+on+her+due+date%2C+PT.png About Marissa liminal: occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold; in a state of transition; betwixt + between https://www.liminalpt.com/postpartum-physical-therapy daily 0.75 2021-03-19 https://www.liminalpt.com/lymphedema-care daily 0.75 2021-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1596867665638-1AV9JD5UDO05E9C6ZAD7/image-asset.jpeg Lymphedema Care - Comprehensive Lymphedema Care Through a Whole-Person Lens Our plan of care focuses on you as an individual, with your concerns, signs and symptoms, and goals at the center of our treatment plan.

Let’s analyze these postural and movement patterns, bring awareness to what may be contributing to any discomfort or limitations, and collaborate to create exercises and movements that allow you to feel strong, comfortable, and doing what you want to do, while managing lymphedema. https://www.liminalpt.com/physical-therapy-wellness daily 0.75 2021-03-02 https://www.liminalpt.com/covid19-safety-protocol daily 0.75 2025-03-10 https://www.liminalpt.com/birth-preparation daily 0.75 2021-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1613611331363-PNJYJ1CQFFCH2SKYN5BV/Website+Birth+Preparation+Page+%281%29.png Birth Preparation https://www.liminalpt.com/pelvic-physical-therapy daily 0.75 2024-06-12 https://www.liminalpt.com/prenatal-pregnancy-physical-therapy daily 0.75 2021-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1598570980276-VIY4O7GXWQB09YPZXC4H/Liminal1_Pregnancy.jpg Prenatal Physical Therapy + Wellness - Caring for + with you throughout your pregnancy. https://www.liminalpt.com/pilates daily 0.75 2024-01-30 https://www.liminalpt.com/home daily 1.0 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1603833982827-CW1NXX554TYRS1GEN1J0/Pregnancy_cursive+circle_unique+background.png Home pregnancy, pregnancy physical therapy, pregnancy pt, pregnancy wellness, pregnancy fitness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1603833897540-IRKKOF1QZ5GYQJ69D6HF/Birth+Preparation_cursive+circle_unique+background.png Home birth preparation, labor strategies, labor physical therapy, pt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1603834443153-Z3HG3CQ4HR1JS50SGBBE/Copy+of+Postpartum_cursive+circle_unique+background.png Home postpartum physical therapy, postpartum pt, postnatal pt, postnatal physical therapy, pt after baby https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1603837312840-I0ML2VHFGHQ5K07HUWUG/Pelvic+Health+PT_cursive+circle_unique+background.png Home pelvic floor PT, pelvic health PT, pelvic floor physical therapist, pelvic floor PT, abdominal health PT, physical therapist, leakage, incontinence, prolapse, vaginal heaviness, pelvic pain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1603836802328-0YRYDD4SLB3JV5A30RYU/Lymphedema+Care_cursive+circle_unique+background.png Home Lymphedema, Lymphedema PT, Lymphedema Care, Lymphedema physical therapy, lymphedema physical therapist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1603833637609-2D54KP4MG7OHNPD9N5JU/Rehabilitative+Pilates_cursive_circle+darker.png Home rehabilitative Pilates, Pilates, reformer, wellness, Pilates for back pain, Polestar Pilates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1604031326919-YJ0ALF6ZSUACHEPG3VF3/Whole+Person+Physical+Therapy_cursive+circle_unique+background.png Home physical therapy, pt, whole-person physical therapy, whole-person PT, biopsychosocial approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1604031154073-PDDHJ4SBZMIU3JM29S6Q/Preventative+Wellness_cursive+circle_unique+background.png Home preventative wellness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1612997050560-74R9JDX1ODDZWK902ULM/Primary+Logo_Primary+Logo.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1612586133029-I2F1GQR0JBW9LXQMND90/Liminal+PT+Clinic.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1612586653227-HGRA06XJW5IWPHT7O4QY/Liminal+PT+Clinic2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1603776881576-6M8SABO2W9X10XXU35QK/Liminal+no+text+small+logo+mark.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f20a6637f8041059eea06aa/1603826064295-8E64MHHE9ZO9WPHYV9IB/Marissa+Eisengart%2C+PT%2C+DPT%2C+MA_ocean+background_circle+frame.png Home - Nice to meet you.
