Move Better. Move Forward.

Providing the one on one attention you deserve

Mary Claire Aaron Physical Therapy is a clinic dedicated to wellness, preventative care, patient education, and recovery. Dr. Aaron provides one-on-one care within a private setting for the entire treatment session. Your evaluation starts with the initial visit and continues throughout the entire treatment process.

Educating patients is my priority so you have a complete understanding of the cause of your injury and the treatment plan associated with your recovery. My patients will learn why they are having pain and how you can be proactive in caring for your body to prevent future injuries. Dr. Aaron schedules one patient at a time to ensure that all patients are comfortable and that the full attention is on our patients.

Dr. Aaron develops a plan that is personalized to each patients goals, lifestyle, and baseline health. She strives to make sure you understand your active part in the rehabilitation process as a patient. She is available to answer questions and continue to provide guidance throughout your recovery process beyond regular business hours. Because she treats patients primarily with manual therapy, your recovery time is shortened with less visits, costing you less money and getting you back to the activities you enjoy the most.
