Towson, Ruxton and Lutherville
Why Towson, Ruxton and Lutherville patients choose video.
Towson is the Baltimore County seat and a college town, with Rodgers Forge rowhouses, Stoneleigh's tree-lined streets, and the wooded lanes of Ruxton and Riderwood close by. Lake Roland draws walkers and dog owners, and the Timonium fairgrounds fill each late summer for the state fair. Faculty, hospital staff and families with packed schedules make up much of the area. Common reasons to book here include postpartum recovery, menopause-related pelvic changes, neck pain from desk work and leaking with exercise.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Maryland: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
