Board Certified Sports Clinical Specialist
Dr. Alyssa Williamson aka "Dr. Lyss", is an Athletic Trainer and Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in orthopedic and sport-related injuries. After graduating from Boston University, she worked at several outpatient clinics and was the Head Athletic Trainer at Gloucester High School. In 2019 she completed her Board Certification as a Sports Clinical Specialist, becoming an expert in holistic athletic injury management, including prevention, acute care, treatment, rehabilitation, and education. Additionally, Dr. Lyss earned her certifications in Strength and Conditioning, ImPACT Concussion Management and Red Cross Instruction.
Throughout her professional career, Dr. Lyss has worked with clients of all ages, activity levels and varieties of sports. In 2021 she left the traditional, high-volume clinic setting in hopes of providing an elevated level of care and opened a cash-based practice, LYSS PT & Wellness, in Boxford, Ma where she treated a variety of orthopedic conditions. Without the restrictions of insurance, Dr. Lyss was able to grow her practice and provide services that would not typically be covered including Body Work, Dry Needling and Personal Training. After outgrowing her first location, she partnered with RECK Fitness to open HYPE Sports Rehab in Danvers, MA.

As a former Division 1 athlete, she maintains a strong enthusiasm for participating in and watching sports. This passion is evident as she frequently provides medical care for local high school and college sporting events. Additionally, Dr. Lyss is the Director of Sports Medicine for the 8x National Champion women’s tackle football team, The Boston Renegades. She works closely with the athletes and staff, providing a professional level of care to ensure a successful and healthy season.
