At Vitality Physical Therapy, our mission is to serve both the individual and the local community by delivering care that is personal, attentive, and genuinely effective. As a movement artist and athlete herself, Mari understands the importance of returning to full function quickly, safely, and confidently.
To ensure the highest quality care, every appointment is a full, dedicated hour spent one-on-one with your provider. This allows us to listen, assess, gather meaningful information, and create a clear, goal-driven plan tailored to your unique needs. Our focus is always on identifying and treating the root cause of your pain — not just the symptoms — so you can get better, faster, and stay better longer.
We also believe that exceptional care should be accessible. Sliding-scale options are available upon request, made possible through our cash-pay model. Superbills can be provided for potential insurance reimbursement.
