Ellen Faught, PT, DPT

Ellen’s approach to physical therapy is rooted in building strong partnerships with her patients and helping them take ownership of their health. She values the process of rehabilitation and enjoys guiding patients who understand the importance of movement, consistency, and intentional care.

Drawn to EW Motion Therapy through years of hearing about the positive culture from her wife, Ellen quickly recognized the clinic’s commitment to growth, support, and purpose. She values being part of a team that feels like family—where therapists are encouraged to continue learning, celebrate wins together, and provide meaningful care.

Amanda Krumrie, Clinic Director of EW Motion Therapy Homewood, says, “Ellen brings a thoughtful, patient-centered approach to our team. Her commitment to growth and genuine care for the people she serves make her an incredible member to our Homewood clinic.”
