Maria received her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Upstate Medical University after earning her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Hartwick College. Her enthusiasm for exercise, combined with her passion for building meaningful relationships with her patients, drew her to a career in physical therapy. She is dedicated to providing individualized, patient centered care through evidence-based treatment, creative exercise programming, and functional rehabilitation. Maria is a Syracuse native who recently returned to the area after 2.5 years as a traveling physical therapist. During this time, she worked in a variety of clinical settings across New York, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Colorado. She has treated a wide range of orthopedic and neurological conditions, with experience in sports medicine, chronic pain, gait and balance training, fall prevention, neurological rehabilitation, and pre- and post-operative care. Outside of the clinic, Maria enjoys traveling to new places, skiing, hiking, running, field hockey, tennis, and spending time with her family and friends.
