Teamwork makes the dream work!
Meet the Highland Physical Therapy Team:

Kristen Topliff, PT DPT

I just moved to Pocatello from Twin Falls, with my husband who now works for Lamb Weston. I grew up in Nebraska and attended Wayne State College and University of Nebraska Medical School getting my physical therapy degree. In my free time, I like to go camping, fishing and hiking with my 2 kids, husband and  dogs.

I specialize in pelvic floor health for both men and women. I also like to help people with problems in their knees or hips and to help runners keep going.

Adam Wright, PTA

I moved to Pocatello in 2014 with my family and to finish my Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science at ISU. I grew up in Southeastern Michigan where I spent most of my time playing soccer and going camping with my family over the summers. I love doing all things outside, referring soccer games, gardening, hiking, camping, mountain biking, paddle boarding, disc golf, snowboarding, snowshoeing or anything else in nature.
I became a PTA because I had both of my hips replaced at the age of 21 and learned just how hard it can be to lose your physical independence. I love knowing that I am helping people regain their mobility and getting them back to doing the activities they love to do.

Sarah Kate Wallace, Patient Care Coordinator

I was born in Soda Springs, Idaho and studied entomology, including the induction of plant immunity in response to damage. I became interested in immunity and studied physical therapy and mother-infant nutrition as a way to induce and support natural healing responses to injury and illness. I love people, skiing at Pebble Creek with her family, raising chickens, gardening and crafting.

Angie Beck, MPT

I like the feel of a hearty belly laugh, hugs, reading or listening to a good book, spending time with family and friends and appreciating a beautiful sunrise and sunset. I also have an infatuation with clouds of all sorts. I enjoy riding my mountain bike through the foothills of southeast Idaho and pausing for a moment to enjoy the beauty we have in the surrounding area. Other interests include road biking, skiing, hiking, CrossFit, outdoor activities of any sort and I’m usually game for most adventures.
 
I love people, helping solving problems and connecting people to solutions. I constantly continue to keep myself educated with new techniques and stay open to new ideas in physical therapy treatment.  I enjoy combining manual techniques, exercise and education to successfully treat clients.  I’ve worked with young kids to 101 year olds.  

Eryn Beck, Patient Care Coordinator

Hi my name is Eryn and I am a patient care coordinator at highland physical therapy! I recently returned home from serving a full time mission in Columbus, Ohio. I am currently going to school at ISU and pursuing a business degree. In my free time, I love to run, sing, and perform! I am grateful to be apart of this team and to work with my mom, Angie, everyday! I love our patients that I get to interact with everyday!

Kimberly Schwarze, MPT

I grew up in Longmont, Colorado and traveled to Southeast Idaho each year for family reunions. I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Brigham Young University in Provo, and my Master’s degree in Physical Therapy at Idaho State University. My husband and I are raising two amazing adult children: a boy and girl in college at BYU,  I enjoy gardening, photography and digital scrapbooking.  In the winter, I  enjoy skiing - both downhill and cross-country. 

Melanie Johnson, Social Media & Photography

I’ve been with Highland PT since April 2021. I do marketing and anything else they need. I’ve been married 26 years to Ian and have three sons and two daughter-in-law’s and one grand baby and one on the way this year. When not in the office I’m a photographer and can be found hiking in the mountains almost daily. We have such a great staff at Highland PT! They are so fun to work with!

Janae Lawver, Billing Manager

I have lived in Pocatello all my life. I enjoy spending time with family, and having potluck get togethers with friends. I also enjoys quiet art projects in my spare time including coloring with my kids, painting a room or a piece of furniture in my house, or just doing a puzzle. I joined the team  at Highland Physical Therapy in February of 2019. or . I am here to answer your billing and insurance questions and help make your experience with us easy and enjoyable.
