About this episode

Mary Lou Savino discusses her approach to hiring good people for her small practice and her integrated model of physical therapy.

Mary Lou Savino has been practicing physical therapy since 1992 and opened Be Fit PT & Pilates in 2008. She specializes in the use of Pilates as therapeutic exercise in rehab with an eclectic approach to incorporating Pilates, Dry Needling, Light Therapy and wellness modalities into treatments. Mary Lou has always been a fitness and health enthusiast, so her concept behind this integrated model was to be able to go beyond traditional PT and utilize things like light therapy, dry needling, Pilates and core strengthening, and massage therapies to be a more well-rounded practice and to be able to take PT to the next level.
