Personally, Paige understands the implications of injury and pain and what it means to be held back from doing the things you love to do, whether it be sport, fitness, or even just being able to run a mile. After her first ankle sprain in high school and attending physical therapy, Paige decided to dedicate her career to helping others. Paige completed her Bachelor of Science studies at Elon University in North Carolina, where she also played Division I tennis from 2006-2010. After graduating, she went on to pursue her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, becoming a huge Tarheel fan.

Dr. Mauricio Elizondo, PT, DPT, ATC, CSCS
Physical Therapist, Athletic Trainer, Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist
Dr. Mo operates Performance Sport Physio, LLC and specializes in professional athletes, tennis players, runners, and crossfit. As an athletic trainer and physical therapist, as well as a former national team swimmer, Mauricio Elizondo understands injured athletes. At 18 years old, he suffered a shoulder injury and had his appendix removed (yes, both happened at the same time!) that forced him to withdraw from his swimming national championship meet that year. Frustrated by being sidelined, his passion to understand the human body and injury began as he started rehab to get back in the pool for the 2004 Olympic trials. Mauricio earned his Bachelor’s in Science in Athletic Training and Exercise Science from Oregon State University and his Masters in Science in Exercise Physiology from the University of Idaho. He furthered his education and training by earning his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine with a certification in manual therapy.
