Functional Physical Therapy
Functional Physical Therapy in Tacoma
At Physician Coach, our functional physical therapy is led by Dr. Marlisa Overton, Doctor of Physical Therapy. Each session is fully one-on-one—no passing patients between assistants—so you receive focused, individualized care from start to finish.
Dr, Overton blends functional movement with hands-on modalities like dry needling and cupping to accelerate recovery and restore performance. Her approach emphasizes diagnostic precision, injury prevention, and progressive rehabilitation, helping you understand the root cause of pain while rebuilding strength, mobility, and confidence. Working hand-in-hand with our sports medicine physician, she provides a seamless path from injury to full return to training and long-term health.
