  Jordan Eisler, PT, DPT

  Physical Therapist

  Jordan is a Colorado Native. After high school, she attended the University of Vermont where she had the opportunity to play basketball. She returned to Colorado in 2015 to finish her B.S. in Exercise Science at Metropolitan State University of Denver. Following this, she went on to receive her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in Austin, Texas in 2021. She joined the CORS rehab team in March of 2022 due to the reputation and success of the company in providing individualized patient centered care and the heartening environment provided to every patient. Jordan’s choice to pursue a career in physical therapy can be attributed to the countless hours she has had to spend in physical therapy as a patient due to a dirt biking accident that happened when she was seven. The handful of physical therapists that she worked with from childhood to adulthood and the subsequent surgical operations she underwent helped her achieve the goal of being a Division I college athlete. The care she received and the bonds that she created with her physical therapists still continue to drive her in the profession. Ultimately, she aims to return that level of care to her current and future patients. Jordan is focused on providing manual therapy, exercise based treatment, and other modalities including Dry Needling, as needed, to meet patient’s goals with treatment of a variety of orthopedic conditions. She is truly empathic towards the patient experience, thus focuses heavily on building a strong patient-therapist relationship to provide the best experience and possible outcome for each patient. Beyond the physical therapy world, Jordan enjoys playing sports, rooting for her Maryland sports teams, drinking coffee, watching movies, playing with dogs, spending time with family, and drinking even more coffee.
