Elena Yanes

PTA, SFMA, PCES (Pregnancy & Postpartum Exercise Specialist)

Physical Therapist Assistant

I grew up in Vicksburg, Mississippi, and graduated from Delta State University with a B.S. in Exercise Science, and M.S. in Sports & Human Performance with emphasis on Exercise Science. I worked as a Personal Trainer in the Memphis and Collierville areas from 2012-2017, as well as a Group Fitness Instructor for Zumba, PiYo, and Bootcamp classes. I graduated from Southwest PTA program in 2018 and have been employed at Peak Potential Physiotherapy & Wellness from 2018 to present. I became interested in physical therapy in high school while taking a Human Physiology class. My interest only grew as I developed my skill in competitive swimming from the time I was 11 years old to the completion of my swimming career at Delta State University, competing primarily in the 100, 200, and 500 freestyle.

My core values are God and family first.  In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you (Matthew 7:12).  Do not depend on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6)

“My help comes from the Lord” – (Psalm 121:2)

As a Physical Therapist Assistant, I work one-on-one with patients to implement a customized recovery plan outlined by the Physical Therapist. I help improve patients overall function and quality of life through guided exercises, hands-on techniques, accountability and encouragement.
I specialize in helping pregnant and postpartum women of any age, and men with core, lumbar, and pelvic dysfuction.

I enjoy helping patients who feel like they are just going to be stuck with their situation or pain forever, because I used to be one of them.

I like being able to collaborate with other skilled therapists so that together we grow and are able to get our patients back to living their lives confidently. The warm, welcoming family atmosphere is what draws me in each day. My work family is so supportive, genuine and caring. When you get a chance to meet them I know you will agree!
