hi there and welcome!
Mary Cline, MPT
I have been a physical therapist since 2007. I graduated with a Masters of Physical Therapy at the University of New Mexico and a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science in 2001. I have lived in New Mexico most of my life. I enjoy the ease of being outdoors in NM and love to spend time with my family. An active lifestyle is important but I have realized that we need a balance of both rest and activity, and that balance can look different through the varying seasons of life.
The focus of my post-graduate education has primarily been through the Barral Institute. There my training has been in manual therapy focusing on nerve, visceral/digestive system, vascular/cardiopulmonary system and more classic joint work. This treatment approach combined with others that I’ve studied give me a unique perspective on the body compared to the traditional PT education. I look at the entire body. I think this is important as medicine has become so specialized that many medical professionals have difficulty seeing beyond their specialty and looking at the system as a whole.
I have a great passion for what I do. I love working with people to get them functioning more optimally so they can have an improved quality of life, hopeful for positive change and/or return to things they love.

Hello, my name is Rusty. Born and raised here in Albuquerque, a graduate of Sandia High School, The University of New Mexico, and Pima Medical Institute, my roots are grounded in this city.
I am a hands-on practitioner providing individualized physical therapy interventions. Practicing as a physical therapist assistant since 2013, the experiences I have obtained offer the ability to successfully treat various conditions. I believe the hands are the gateway to be able to deliver a therapeutic opportunity to reinstate balance to the body. I also integrate targeted movement restoration patterns to rebuild functional mobility and support efficient movement patterns. Specializations that I perform include: vestibular and balance rehabilitation, musculoskeletal dysfunction, fascial restrictions, headaches, concussions, as well as neural and visceral mobilizations. I have worked with a wide range of patients from pediatrics to seniors. My passions include family, friends, sports, and fitness.
