Peter Elser, MS, PT, received his Master’s of Science and Bachelor’s of Science degrees from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA. He has been in practice for 11 years and currently sees patients at Tidewater Physical Therapy’s Kempsville clinic in Norfolk.

General orthopedics, geriatrics and pain management is where Peter has most experience and expertise. However, he has also practiced in sports injury, spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury settings, making him the kind of versatile therapist that Tidewater strives to attract.

Peter has two children and enjoys water sports, running, alpine skiing and ice hockey.

“Physical Therapy becomes both science and art because every patient has different needs. I believe that clinical experience, research-based practice and interpersonal relationships are all vital to meet those needs. My approach is hands on. I want all of my patients to have good outcomes and know that I care.”
