Physical Therapy Staff
Clinic Staff
Judi Rossi, PT In
June 2006, I was proud to open Canton Institute for Physical Therapy, finally realizing my dream of clinic ownership. Previously, I had been the
director of a successful clinic in Woodstock, Georgia. As a clinic owner, I have had the opportunity to treat my patients with the number one goal
of offering quality, individualized care in a friendly, personalized environment. My hope is to be a facilitator in helping my patients achieve
their maximum attainable function through the use of a personalized exercise program, hands on manual therapy and the use of various modalities
to speed the healing process.
I graduated from California State University at Long Beach in 1978 with a Bachelor's Degree in physical therapy. Through my 30 years of practice, I have furthered my education with innumerable continuing education classes primarily focused in the field of orthopaedics. Through the years, I have practiced in many settings including rehab centers treating stroke and brain injured patients. My first passion however, is the treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunctions.
When away from the clinic, my hobbies include trying to keep up with my three young adult sons Kyle, Tyler and Jordan as well as my three stepsons Nick, Frank and Dominic and even more importantly my grandson Trevor. My hobbies include running and lifting weights, reading murder mysteries, trying to learn the piano and dancing with my husband Matt.
Brianne Roth, DPT, Grew
up in Clarion, Pennsylvania where she attended Clarion Area High School. In high school, Brianne played volleyball, basketball, and softball until
her senior year in basketball when she tore her ACL. She always knew she wanted to go into the health profession, but after going through physical
therapy herself, she knew this was the field for her.
Brianne graduated from Clarion University of Pennsylvania in 2006 with a Bachelor's of Science Degree. She then received her Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy in May 2009 from Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania.

to Eleanor’s life. She is a graduate from Georgia State University. Married and moved to Japan and started a family. Spent several years home
schooling her two daughters, Nicole and Kelly.
In early 2000 Eleanor faced some health issues and was plagued with sports injuries. Like many people she struggled with her weight, self esteem and frustration from an injury. She made a commitment to attain a healthy and fit lifestyle. Making lifestyle changes (fitness and nutrition) can be challenging. In an effort to become stronger, she began working out with a personal trainer. She found enlisting support was instrumental.
As a result of her success in meeting her physical and nutritional goals, she decided to pay it forward by becoming a personal trainer herself. Eleanor was certified through ACE (American Council on Exercise) with specialty certifications in Speed/Agility and Functional Training, Her mission is to champion individuals to make lifestyle changes to improve their fitness and nutritional health.

The entire staff is wonderful. Judy is beyond wonderful, she’s perfect! Now that my therapy is over, I actually miss going! – Mary D.
I have sought Judy's care for many years. When I came to her new facility, I was impressed with her services (as usual), but her whole staff had her same attitude. The new clinic is very impressive. - Cynthia M.
I feel that Judy has a great relationship with her patients. She is very thorough in collecting information in order to give the best therapy and heal you as quick as possible.

On Brianne Roth
I originally came to CIPT as a result of a car accident; I was so pleased with the results on my neck and shoulder I decided to continue for my degenerative disc disease (my back). While previous therapy advanced me to the point where I could dress myself in the mornings, I was still unable to do many of my favorite activities: working in my yard, walking my dogs, and cleaning my house. – Anonymous
Best experience with a physical therapist that I have ever received - Greg B.
On Allie Klein
Thanks for making my first physical therapy experience a great one!" – Joan T.
What began as a "possibility of improvement" and a frightening prospect, quickly became an encouraging and enjoyable experience. This is all because of the skill and knowledge of my therapist. Thanks for all your help - Ruth R.

I would recommend CIPT to all my friends and family. I would not go anywhere else. - Judith S.
I originally came to CIPT as a result of a car accident; I was so pleased with the results on my neck and shoulder I decided to continue for my degenerative disc disease (my back). While previous therapy advanced me to the point where I could dress myself in the mornings, I was still unable to do many of my favorite activities: working in my yard, walking my dogs, and cleaning my house.
I began P.T. for my back in April and have been coming 1/week since that time. In addition to tradition exercises and manual therapy, I was put in traction and slowly built up strength to be on the MedX machine. By the end of June, my back was so much better that I could spend 10-12 hours per day painting our new vacation home. I have spent hours weeding WITHOUT any back spasms. This week, I finished laying rocks to complete the edge of my garden. I am grateful to have my life back. "Thank you" doesn't seem to be adequate, but I do thank you very much. - Jan L.
I had Judy as a physical therapist in 2000 and I sought her out in 2006. Once again, I have been impressed with my results and progression. The clinic goes above and beyond! Thanks CIPT. - Anonymous
