EMPOWER STROKE RECOVERY CAN HELP!

mEET YOUR THERAPIST

I received my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Kansas University Medical Center in 2010 and have been practicing physical therapy for 13 years in acute care & inpatient rehabilitation settings. I have a passion for serving survivors of stroke (and other neurological conditions), and helping them to recover function as well as return to activities most important to them.  I received certification in NDT (Neuro-developmental treatment) in individuals with stroke, which is a hands-on approach to promote more effective movement strategies, thereby improving function.  I also have completed continuing education & clinical practice in high-intensity gait training in order to provide stroke survivors with the latest evidenced-based interventions for better outcomes.   

As healthcare has changed over the years, I have noticed a gap in therapy services as patients transition from inpatient settings to home and community settings.  Sadly, I've watched patients plateau or decline in function often due to insurance limits on home health and outpatient visits.  I wanted to find a way to give patients the care that they deserve.  So, in 2022 Empower Stroke Recovery was established.

testimonials

"I could tell by your demeanor and caring personality that I was in good hands.  I had no idea how hard it would be to work my body after stroke, but with you helping me to walk and do stairs, it was an easier trip every time.  Our therapy sessions were invigorating and tiresome at the same time but I knew it was worth the trouble.  Thanks to your kind soul and regimented therapy I'm 99.9% back!"

Larry, caregiver of survivor 

"You brought to us your confidence and easily displayed your competence and your wonderful personality. With your attributes/skills - you gave us confidence that [my wife] could improve [after her stroke].  You also helped me believe that I could help her at home and we have progressed so far.  There is no way to really thank you for all you did for us." 

Renee, former patient

" When I started my journey I was terrified I wouldn't be able to cope, but from day 1 of working with Mary I realized I was in the very best hands.  Mary gave me the self-confidence to succeed and hope for my recovery. I am so blessed and grateful to have her knowledge of all things physical therapy on my team of caregivers working to help me heal."
