Mary Pezzella

PT, DPT, MT-BC

Mary was born and raised in Tucson, AZ and in her youth she split her time between playing music, performing in theater, and participating in various sports, including cross country, swim team, and softball. This early blend of creative and athletic pursuits laid the foundation for her future career.

Mary earned her undergraduate degree in Music Therapy in Tempe, AZ, where she honed her skills using music as a therapeutic tool for rehabilitation. She worked in hospice care and with children with disabilities, helping patients use music to achieve non-musical goals and improve their quality of life.

After nearly six years in the field of music therapy, Mary sought to broaden her scope of practice in rehabilitative care and started exploring other advanced degrees. This eventually led to her moving up north to Flagstaff, AZ to pursue her Doctorate in Physical Therapy as this field most aligned with her personal and professional interests.

Mary has a deep passion for human movement and understanding what the human body is capable of. She is dedicated to helping her patients return to the activities they love, while encouraging a sense of fun and well-being throughout the process.
