Meet Dr. Liz Plowman, a passionate and experienced physiotherapist specialized in the treatment of Myasthenia Gravis. With 12 years of expertise in the field, including serving as an active-duty physiotherapist in the US Navy, Liz is dedicated to helping individuals with Myasthenia Gravis achieve their goals and live their best lives.

​

As a member of the Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy, Liz stays at the forefront of advancements in neurological conditions. Inspired by her own journey with Myasthenia Gravis, she noticed a significant knowledge gap in physiotherapy treatment for this condition. Motivated to make a difference, Liz dedicated her time to research and improving care for people with Myasthenia Gravis.

​

Liz's treatment approaches include graded exercise, energy conservation strategies, and a "start low and go slow" approach to strengthening MG-affected muscles. She also focuses on gait and balance training for safety and functionally training "good compensations" to maximize the use of less affected muscles.

​

During her time on faculty at Texas Woman's University School of Physical Therapy, Liz conducted several research projects in the treatment of Myasthenia Gravis. She has presented at 4 national conferences and had articles published in Impact magazine, sharing her expertise and findings.
