Mandy Fox
PHYSICAL THERAPIST

Mandy completed her Doctor of Physical Therapy at Columbia University. She was inspired to go into physical therapy as an athlete for her whole life. Dance was her first love, she did 20+ years of ballet, lyrical, etc., as well as figure skating and gymnastics. Mandy started running at 13 to cross-train for her other sports. She became a PT because she wanted to use movement to help others feel better and stronger. She wanted to learn how to help her friends on her running team stop getting injured or at least how to fix it.  Mandy is passionate about runners and helping the running community.  FLPT is the exact patient community she set out to serve when she became a physical therapist.
