What People Say About Fit & Function Therapy Solutions

Maria was so great working with my issue. I went through multiple other doctors with x rays and MRI’s with no answers. Maria was able to learn what was going on and after 8 months of pain she has me pain free. I would recommend her to everyone.
- Tyler Bollman
Dr Maria was SO helpful and wildly knowledgeable about all things postural, anatomical & mechanical. I left my running analysis equipped with the confidence to run harder and train smarter!! She used a holistic approach to look for root causes rather than just looking at symptoms which made me feel cared for. I’d give 6 stars but 5 was the only option!
- Raquel Wilson
Dr Leibler has helped me with numerous issues and has helped me keep doing the things I love to do. She worked on my knee last year when it was giving me trouble. She also came up with some great stretches for me to do before I work on horses feet that prevent my back and hamstrings from giving me trouble. She is a great problem solver who really understands the big picture!
