As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Dr. Elkayam, a distinguished physical therapist, has made significant strides in her field through her dedication and expertise. As the owner and head therapist of OneBody Physical Therapy, located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City, she has established a boutique practice that emphasizes individualized care. Founded in 2020, her clinic is renowned for offering one-on-one attention and extended appointments, setting it apart from traditional physical therapy settings. This personalized approach is a testament to Dr. Elkayam's commitment to enhancing patient care and is a source of immense pride for her.

Leveraging her remarkable background, Dr. Elkayam was a doctor of physical therapy at a private physical therapy practice from 2016 to 2020. During this time, she also served as the clinical director, where she honed her skills in managing patient care and clinic operations.
