When the going gets tough, Marion just keeps on going! What a 2020! First Marion got sick, then her fitness center closed! She knew she had to find something to help with balance, strength, and endurance…but wasn't sure where to turn.

Thankfully her daughter's found us at Iron PT! Marion has worked hard since stepping into the clinic, and you can now see her lifting kettlebells and medicine balls each week. Age is definitely just a number!

- Dr. Marnie Wortman, DPT
