OUR PHYSICAL THERAPISTS
Get To Know Us Better
Physical Therapists are movement specialists who are uniquely trained to identify movement impairments causing dysfunction or pain. Our therapists will work one on one with you to design an exercise program specifically for your goals, which is often supplemented by manual (hands-on) techniques and modalities. Our goal is to assist you to restore pain free movement, and to empower you to maintain your health so that you can enjoy life to the fullest.

MARK SYNDER, PTA
Mark Snyder is our resident PTA. Graduating from Delaware Technical College in early 2021 he got the bug for travel and has since begun his career as a travelling Physical Therapist Assistant.
