TEAM MEMBERS

Mary An Moyer (Founder)

MaryAn Moyer received her Master’s in Physical Therapy in 1997 from North Georgia College and State University.  In 2009, she completed her doctorate from Northeastern University. With a passion for manual therapy, she began LifeCare Physical Therapy which was built upon her core desire to provide high-quality, personalized physical therapy. The goal of her practice is to utilize biomechanic principles in the correction of structural imbalance and movement dysfunction in patients.  In this patient-centered model, LifeCare PT works to improve function, alleviate pain, and educate each patient for long lasting results.

Treatment Philosophy
The body likes to move.  If there is an area in your body that is restricted, it will not be able to function correctly.  This eventually causes pain, which is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong.  By gently introducing new movement strategies to the body, the body can begin to develop new, beneficial patterns that are more balanced.  The effects of this type of treatment are reduced pain, more flexibility, greater strength, and improved energy.  In addition, when the body no longer has to fight against structural restrictions in daily life, the mind is more focused, the body lighter, and the spirit nourished.

"I truly love what I do. For me, work is not work. It’s a passion and a sharing. I am honored to be part of a process where the individual is provided the opportunity for optimal health, thus the subsequent opportunity to connect with and explore their own body, mind, and spirit. The resilience of the body and the courageousness of the spirit never cease to amaze me".

FAQS | LIFECARE PT

WHAT IS A PHYSICAL THERAPIST TRAINED TO DO?

A Physical Therapist specializes in the movement of the human body. With a comprehensive knowledge of biomechanics and all of the systems that affect it, the physical therapist is the practitioner of choice to evaluate and treat all movement dysfunction.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THE FIRST VISIT?

The Physical Therapist will perform a full-body examination to determine any areas of biomechanic dysfunction. This will include flexibility, strength, balance, and endurance testing. Any findings will be discussed and treatment will be initiated.

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN A TREATMENT SESSION?

The Physical Therapist will perform a quick evaluation to determine your body’s primary structural restrictions. Then, gentle,hands-on mobilization techniques will be used to address these restrictions. The goals are to restore movement, improve function, and alleviate pain. Treatment sessions last 50-60 minutes.

WHY DO YOU TREAT AREAS OTHER THAN THOSE THAT ARE PAINFUL?

The whole body is connected in an intricate pattern of fascia, muscle, bone, nerve, vessels, and collagen. Through compensation and adaptation, an injury or restriction in one area can have an effect at points very distal to the original lesion. We must treat all levels of restriction to have lasting results.

WILL WE DO EXERCISE?

Exercise is an important part of any rehabilitation program. You will be given individualized exercises based on your specific needs. Those exercises will need to be performed daily to attain the highest benefit. A consistent home program is essential to lasting results.

DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?

Currently, we accept Blue Cross, Harvard Pilgrim, Aetna, Medicare, Unicare, and some United Healthcare Plans. Please call for more information.

DO I NEED A DOCTOR’S REFERRAL?

In the state of Massachusetts, you do not need a medical doctor’s referral to see a physical therapist. However, some insurance plans require a referral or pre-authorization. Please check with your insurance company.

DO I HAVE TO BE INJURED TO SEE YOU?

No. This type of treatment is beneficial whether you have been injured or not. Living in this fast-paced society, we can all benefit from restoring our mind, body, and spirit regularly.
