🏔️ Provider Spotlight: Sydney McDonough, DPT

To close out Physical Therapy Month, meet Dr. Sydney McDonough. She’s a physical therapist at our Lake Otis Clinic who loves helping patients get back to the activities they enjoy most. She has a special interest in low back pain and overuse tendinopathies.

Dr. McDonough is a former collegiate track and field athlete. She earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy summa cm laude from Daemen College in 2021. She then worked as a traveling PT in six states, in outpatient orthopedics, neurology, home health, school-based therapy, and skilled nursing. That range gives her a well-rounded, patient-centered approach to care. She also speaks Spanish.

Since moving to Anchorage in 2024, she’s fallen hard for Alaska’s mountains. You’ll usually find her running, hiking, skiing, or ice skating. ⛷️

Thank you to all of our physical therapists for keeping Alaska moving, this month and every month! 💪

💛 Standing Together. Supporting One Another.

Last week, our Orthopedic Physicians Alaska family came together for Casual for a Cause, raising awareness and supporting families facing childhood cancer.

Our Therapy team proudly wore their Caleb Strong shirts in solidarity with Caleb Seidl, son of Elizabeth M. Seidl, DPT, OCS, Assistant Director of Therapy Services, and their family. 💛

Across Orthopedic Physicians Alaska, teammates also dressed casually in support of Katie’s Handprint, an Alaskan nonprofit helping families impacted by childhood cancer.

Thanks to the generosity of our employees, we raised $985 in donations, with an additional $220 match from Orthopedic Physicians Alaska, bringing our total contribution to $1,205! 💛

Thank you to everyone who participated and reminded us that we're more than coworkers. We're a community that shows up for one another.

🌟 Provider Spotlight: Elizabeth Paynter, PT

October is Physical Therapy Month, and we’re proud to spotlight one of the PTs helping Alaskans get back to the life they want to live. At OPA, Elizabeth guides patients through orthopedic injuries with a clear plan and steady support, helping them return to the activities that matter most.

Elizabeth earned her Master of Physical Therapy from the University of Iowa. Before that, she graduated magna cm laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Bradley University while competing all four years as a Division 1 swimmer. She began her career in outpatient care and has stayed rooted in orthopedics ever since. Today, she sees patients at our Eagle River clinic.

Her husband’s military career took the family from Iowa to Texas, Mississippi, and finally Alaska, where they’ve settled in Eagle River. When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll find Elizabeth on the trails hiking or out cross-country skiing. 🥾⛷️

This Physical Therapy Month, we're recognizing the skill, patience, and dedication our PT professionals bring
to every appointment.

Thank you for making a difference, one movement at a time! 💚
