Marty leads the CRCG's clinical staff. She graduated from Columbia University with a master’s degree in physical therapy in 1982 and was certified by the University of Tennessee in canine rehabilitation in 2003. Marty was in the first class to complete the program. This training augmented her physical therapy skills and served as a starting point for her focus on canines.

Marty has over 20 years of human experience and over six years with animals. She has an extensive physical therapy background specializing in orthopedics.

Orthopedic physical therapists diagnose, manage, and treat disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system as well as rehabilitate patients post orthopedic surgery. This specialty of physical therapy is most often found in the out-patient clinical setting. Orthopedic therapists are trained in the treatment of post operative joints, acute sports injuries, arthritis, and amputations just to name a few.

Joint mobilizations, strength training, hot/cold packs, and electrical stimulation are modalities often used to expedite recovery in the orthopedic setting. Those who have suffered injury or disease affecting the muscles, bones, ligaments, or tendons of the body will benefit from assessment by a physical therapist specialized in orthopedics.

Prior to starting CRCG, her canine experience was with the Veterinary Referral Center of Colorado providing post-operative care and rehabilitative treatments.
