What Patients Think About Anna Fitzgerald

"Working with Anna Fitzgerald was a real blessing: She's super sharp, knows the body, is a great listener, and brings a good sense of humor for those awkward positions/moments. I feel so much better and have been able to get back to activities I thought I never would. I'd had a lot of PT in the past but this was different as it included manual therapy, which I think was key for me. I wholeheartedly recommend Anna and MTI for anyone who is experiencing pain and wants to feel good again."
