About The Founder
Hailey Colbert is a Doctor of Physical Therapy who has been helping patients restore function and improve quality of life since 2015. A native of Chicago, she earned her doctorate from Governors State University and has extensive experience treating both orthopedic and pelvic health conditions in outpatient settings.
After completing advanced training through the Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute, Hailey became a certified Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner (PRPC) in 2021. Her clinical approach combines evidence-based techniques with a whole-body perspective, allowing her to address not just symptoms, but the underlying causes of dysfunction.
Hailey is the founder of Phocus Physical Therapy, established in 2024. She relocated her practice to Wilmington, North Carolina, where she continues to provide the same high level of personalized, one-on-one care.
Her areas of expertise include manual therapy, visceral mobilization, bladder retraining, pre- and postnatal care, and individualized exercise prescription. Hailey is passionate about treating the whole person and partners closely with each patient to help them achieve meaningful, lasting results—whether returning to daily activities, athletics, or overall wellness.
Outside of the office, you can find her outside with her two young boys and Bernese Mountain Dog.
