Mary Hart is amazing. She has helped me to feel better after years of chronic pain in my back and many joints. Ive been a martial artist since 2005 and have black belts in Combat Hapkido and Aikido. Along with years of training come injuries. I have "muscle reactivity" due to the trauma Ive put my body through. Mary Hart understands the body and nervous system like nobody else. Her knowledge is in depth and specialized. She educated me about hypermobility which shed a lot of light on why I experience a lot more aches and pains than other people and she is actively teaching me how to heal and reduce pain by changing posture and habits. Doctors have never been able to explain why I experience more pain than most people but Mary truly understands the body and explained it to me. Recently I experienced vertigo. Doctors and another physical therapist were unable to help because they assumed it was an inner ear problem. Mary knew it was probably cervical vertigo and after one treatment my vertigo was gone! I count my blessings that I met Mary Hart.

Since I suffered a stroke 3 yrs. ago, I’ve been treated by many physical therapists, both in a hospital setting and in outpatient settings. My current condition has been exacerbated by arthritis affecting mobility in my neck. Not until I found May Hart did I start to understand the true meaning of holistic physical therapy. Mary’s techniques are remarkable in that she deals with, not only separate anatomical functions, but also with how those functions can be attained through physical and emotional health. The core of her therapy centers on calming the central nervous system. This unique philosophy and treatment has helped me regain some functions on my left side. I am also increasing the range of motion in my neck. Mary addresses each individual’s problem areas and needs—whether they are neurological or orthopedic or both. I’m grateful that Hart Physical Therapy is part of my continual health program. Thank you, Mary! Elzia Phillips

To start with Mary is a wonderful human being! When Mary is working with you she is completely focused on you unlike many therapists Ive been to in the past. Im 58 years old with 2 major lower back surgeries and a neck fusion c3-c7 and Mary has done more for me in just a few visits than all the therapy treatments Ive had!! Mary has a unique way of getting the information she needs just by gently talking to you as she treats you. Her main concern is how to treat you without causing more injury or pain but all along getting results!! I was quite amazed on how such small movements have made such a large impact. Like most of you I came from the school no pain no gain! Well, now I know different and am a believer in Marys technique. If you need physical therapy I would highly recommend seeing Mary ASAP!! You will SEE and FEEL a DIFFERENCE! Pat L

It started with a fall down some stairs. Among other injuries, I had broken one wrist bone and after 6 weeks in a brace, I needed physical therapy. But we were new to Sarasota, who should I go to? The internet is wonderful, after reading Hart Physical Therapy’s reviews, I knew this was where I needed to go. Ms. Hart is a professional who is not afraid to tell you the truth, she has an uncanny way of readying your muscles and nerves – the break was in the wrist, but the fall had created issues in my neck. She is patient oriented and has shown me that my recovery is her goal. Slowly, but surely I have improved my range of motion and strength; and my neck issue is on the mend. I really appreciate her holistic approach and will be highly recommending her to anyone that needs physical therapy.

I have been going to physical therapists for the past 20 years, for arthritic back pain, recovery from hip replacements, and fibromyalgia. The exercises I was given were always the same, and they didnt help at all. Then someone recommended Mary. I found her to be a gifted healer with techniques unlike those of any other physical therapist Ive been to. She has a remarkable understanding of the nervous system, which is where pain is carried throughout the body. After only a few weeks of treatment, I am feeling so much better, and am able to walk farther without pain. I intend to continue to work with her for as long as I can, and do the simple exercises she has taught me, to regain a pain-free life and increased capacity for doing things. I feel lucky to have found her!

I was referred to Ms. Hart by a social worker who had received almost instant relief from longstanding pain thanks to Marys work. As a physician (aged 80) and active runner with disk problems, I have been treated by many physicial therapists in the US and Canada. Marys approach is unique in my experience, based on retraining the neuromuscular system. I have been treated by her for several months and have had significant improvement from my longterm stiffness, and recent injuries to the back and neck resulting from running in races. Mary treats the whole body and mind, is very skilled but gentle and patient in teacing her techniques and in providing hands-on therapy. I can recommend her without reservation Anthony R.

I had not been able to play golf for a couple of months, despite seeing two doctors and having had an MRI of my hip. The finding was that it was arthritis that was causing the pain. I heard about Mary Hart from a friend and went to see her. After a brief exam, Mary said you may have arthritis but thats not what is causing you this problem. After two treatments by Mary, I was back on the golf course. Thats a fact. I have been seeing Mary for physical therapy, as needed, for 5 or 6 years and Im still playing golf at age 84. She has been a great help to me with lower back problems, joint pain and other conditions. Mary is an outstanding person who has a gift for healing. I highly recommend her for all physical therapy needs.

I have had chronic back pain for decades and have been seen many times by traditional physical therapists. Therapy has always treated the area of pain. I met Mary Hart about a year ago. Mary treats the root cause of pain because she has a complete understanding of the whole body. Mary explains how the nervous system has everything to do with pain. I have learned much better posture in both sitting and standing and how that contributes to pain relief. Her "Hart Technique" is a series of exercises tailored to my particular situation that I can do at home. I am considerably better than before and my whole body feels better and far less vulnerable . I would highly recommend Hart Physical Therapy.

Three years ago, I discovered Mary Hart through a mutual friend. She treated me for stiffness and pain in the right shoulder and arm, and within a few months my recovery was about 90 percent. Mary is presently treating me for pain in my right knee which radiates through the leg. The results have been excellent. After three months the pain is completely gone and the stiffness in the leg is diminished by about 80 percent and still improving. Mary is very well informed and completely thorough in her treatments, and in explaining the causes of the discomfort and the exercises necessary to treat the problem at its source. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is experiencing physical pain.
