Dr. marisa priolo, pt, dpt, ocs

Welcome! My name is Dr. Marisa, and I am the owner of Vitality Rehab & Performance, LLC. My mission is to help active people and athletes get pain-free and back to the things they love.

I have been an athlete and active individual my entire life, and knew from a young age that I wanted to help others. Through my own rehab experiences and working as a professional in “typical” PT settings, I realized I wanted to make a real difference. After working in other clinics, I became tired of juggling multiple patients at one time, being limited by insurance benefits, and not feeling able to fully help patients work through their problems.

Thus, Vitality Rehab and Performance: a place where each person gets full 1:1 care, attention, and education needed to become the best version of themselves in order to reach their goals.

I have worked in the realm of orthopedic and vestibular rehabilitation for the last 5 years treating many different types of injuries and conditions. Both inside and outside of the traditional clinical setting, I have experience working with athletes of all different sports, primarily baseball. I hold a special interest in the treatment, management, and maintenance of overhead athletes due to the skill/complexity that those sports demand on the human body.

Outside of the clinic, I am committed to an active and healthy lifestyle through weightlifting and outdoor activities. I enjoy learning new things, reading, and spending time with family, friends, and pets.
