WHY THIS WORK MATTERS
Before physical therapy became her profession, Marisa saw its impact in her own family.
Marisa grew up helping her brother, who has spina bifida, and seeing the progress he made with physical therapy at home. Watching his therapist work with him showed her how meaningful that care could be for a person and their family.
Those experiences helped inspire her path into physical therapy and her appreciation for care delivered at home.
Marisa was drawn to pelvic health when she realized how many people did not know they could seek help for their symptoms. She wanted to reach women who had assumed pelvic concerns were simply something they had to live with.
At Healix, that starts with making room for the conversation: what you’re experiencing, how it affects your life, and what you hope to get back to.
