Each month, Iron Physical Therapy highlights a special patient to tell their inspiring story. We want to honor the people who go all in - body, mind and spirit. They show us what’s possible - that you can move on from a setback to do amazing things...to challenge your body, to chase your dreams, to address pain in a healthy way to #getbetterbebetter.

Meet Mary, our Patient of the Month! Not only is she a half marathoner, but she puts in extra miles running around after her active son. When her pain wasn’t going away…she turned to Iron.

Never one to shy away from hard work, she learned when to pull back and when to put the pedal to the metal as she keeps adding adding on those miles on.

- Dr. Marnie Wortman, DPT
