ABOUT MARGI...
Margi is a highly respected physical therapist, bringing over two decades of dedicated practice to the Twin Cities community. With a strong focus on lower extremity injuries encompassing the hip, knee, and foot/ankle, her expertise extends far beyond these regions, making her an invaluable resource for your orthopedic needs, including shoulder concerns.
Her clients range from pro athletes to weekend warriors, all benefiting from her passion to restore active lifestyles. Margi’s passion lies in helping individuals of all backgrounds and skill levels regain their active lifestyles, returning to the sports and activities they love.
Her approach combines manual therapy, neuromuscular re-training, and skilled dry needling, enlightening you about your body's efficiency and pain management. Additional expertise includes running gait analysis, hypermobility issues, connective tissue disorders, middle-aged athletes, and failed or slow recovery from orthopedic surgeries. Also, Margi is the queen of waking up sleepy glutes! Margi looks at the whole biomechanical chain so she doesn’t stop just at the location that hurts. She figures out the “why” you have pain and creates a solution to get you on the road to recovery. Margi loves a puzzle and digging in deep to find the cause of your pain.
