Mary Beth graduated from the University of Montana Physical Therapy Program with high honors in 1997. She the CEO of PhysioCare, is a certified pre/post-natal exercise consultant, and a Certified Integrated Manual Therapist.
She has worked in a variety of settings, including acute patient care, skilled nursing facilities, a continence center, and outpatient. Her professional interests include sport and spine rehabilitation, gait/movement analysis, custom orthotics, the tri-athlete client, and women’s health issues.
Mary Beth grew up in Alaska, and after school in Montana she moved to Pueblo, CO to work at a hospital there. She transferred to Seattle in 2001 to be closer to family and return to water and green surroundings. She enjoys taking in local sporting events and scuba diving in both local and tropical destinations. She has also competed in various distance triathlons to stay active and help her understand the finer points of cross-training. Her triathlon experience ranges from sprint triathlons to full Ironman events.
Her treatment philosophy focuses on looking at the person as a whole. It takes many pieces of the puzzle put together to find a treatment designed for each individual. Understanding that people have very busy lifestyles, she incorporates a “quick and easy” home program as well as other small functional changes that will improve her patient’s quality of life.

Becca grew up in Reading, PA and attended Millersville University of Pennsylvania where she received her bachelor of science in education. She moved to Washington in 2012 to serve with AmeriCorps and quickly discovered a love for the Pacific Northwest and all the beauty and variety it has to offer. In 2019, Becca graduated from the PTA program at Lake Washington Institute of Technology where she gained experience in outpatient orthopedics, pediatrics, and sub-acute rehabilitation. She is thrilled to be part of the PhysioCare team!
As a PTA, Becca believes in getting to know her patients and their specific goals in order to tailor home exercise programs to their needs. She enjoys helping people find empowerment to get the most out of the things they love to do, whether it be participating in sports and fitness, pursuing hobbies, or spending quality time with loved ones. And most of all, she believes PT should be fun. If it can be made into a game, it will!
In her spare time she can usually be found playing outside, whether it be whitewater kayaking, hiking, surfing, or going for long walks around Juanita Beach and Bay. She also enjoys spending time with her cat, Banjo, and cheering on Philadelphia sports teams.
