Prior to establishing Naperville Physical Therapy, Mary managed a hospital-affiliated rehabilitation clinic in Elmhurst, where she was raised. During her over 20 years of clinical experience she has concentrated her practice in orthopedic and sports rehabilitation with a special interest in pregnancy-related injuries and volleyball injuries. Mary participated in volleyball as a collegiate athlete and as a high school and grade school coach. She is a certified specialist in Augmented Soft Tissue Mobilization (ASTYM), a highly effective treatment for chronic tendonitis. Mary is the proud mother of Sean, Colin and Kathryn.

"Establishing Naperville Physical Therapy has been the highlight of my career in physical therapy. I am so proud of the staff that we have developed and truly enjoy coming to work. Because I am the mother of three, I enjoy my time at home, and by having such a fantastic group of therapists and office personnel, I have no worries that patients are being treated in the manner that I would like. At our clinic, patients will find a warm, friendly environment like no other therapy they have been to and they will get results."
