Get To Know Dr. Maria Leibler
PT, DPT, MTC
Hi! I’m Dr. Maria Leibler, a manually trained physical therapist and running rehabilitation specialist – call me Maria. Running is more than my hobby; it’s at the core of my professional life as a Doctor of Physical Therapy. My journey with running began at just five years old and has taken me through a fulfilling career path that intertwines my passion for the sport with a deep commitment to health and wellness.
I began my academic pursuit at the University of Idaho, where I combined my love for sports with an interest in language, earning a Bachelor of Science in Sports Science with a minor in Spanish. Eager to delve deeper into the mechanics of the human body and how it heals, I pursued and obtained my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine. Here, I also honed my skills in manual therapy, achieving a certification that allows me to provide targeted, hands-on care to address and resolve the complex challenges runners face.
