MEET THE THERAPIST / OUR STORY

Beili Zhu PT DPT PhD

My name is Beili Zhu (PT, DPT, PhD), and I’m excited to introduce myself and share the story behind LINO Physical Therapy. Born and raised in China, I came to the U.S. to earn my PhD in Biomedical Engineering. After completing my postdoctoral training, I realized how much I value human interaction, which led me to change my career path. I pursued a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree at Northeastern University in Boston, graduating in 2017. 

For the past seven years, I’ve worked in a hospital-based outpatient clinic, specializing in treating patients with dizziness, headaches, and TMJ dysfunction. This experience has taught me the value of learning from each patient’s story. I am thrilled to be fulfilling my dream of launching my own clinic—LINO Physical Therapy—where we specialize in vestibular rehabilitation and complex orthopedic conditions. Our mission is to provide top-quality care to our community in the Greater Boston Area. I approach my work with the precision and pragmatism that my background in science and engineering has given me, and I believe physical therapy should be both effective and enjoyable. 

I’m passionate about helping my clients grow stronger physically and emotionally, turning each session into a healing journey. At LINO Physical Therapy, we aim to be a place where you’ll find support, expertise, and a true partnership on your path to recovery. 

 

Some of the Credentials I hold:

  • American Physical Therapy Association | Board Certified Specialist in Orthopedics (OCS)

  • Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapist (FAAOMPT)

  • Vestibular Rehabilitation & Concussion Specialist Certified by The American Institute of Balance (AIB VRC)

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

  • Peggy F.

    I developed lower back pain when taking care of my grandkid 2 years ago. Later, the pain spread into the neck and my entire spine was stiff. Dr. Beili Zhu gave me a big relief after I saw her. This year, my back started to feel weak again. In addition, my right thumb could not straighten. So I went to see Dr. Beili Zhu again. I followed her treatment plan and I did my exercises like she instructed me to do every day. As a result, my pain and symptoms disappeared very quickly. I can straighten my thumb again without any discomfort. I am so happy because Dr. Zhu improved my quality of life so much. Thank you Dr. Beili Zhu!

  • Swastik C.

    Dr. Zhu’s spinal manipulation techniques were very effective and precise. She knew what exactly she was doing and how to manipulate the portion of the body she was targeting. Beili took her time and made sure she had the right approach and hand position. The relief I felt after each manipulation was very pleasant and helped relieve the pressure and stress that was building up on my lower back. I would definitely get a spinal manipulation from her again as she has proven to me she knows what she learned and has the passion and confidence to perform a spinal manipulation.

  • Hillary D.

    Dr. Beili Zhu saved my sanity! I am a Physician Assistant, and I developed positional vertigo that left me reeling, nauseous and unable to function for days. After seeing Dr. Zhu and receiving her treatments, I felt markedly better. She is so knowledgeable, passionate and quick to address my concerns. I highly recommend Beili and thank her so much for helping to get my life back on track!
