Our Team
At Mountain River, we’re passionate about moving people so they live well. We approach movement holistically, addressing your needs both physically, emotionally, and spiritually so you can not only accomplish the physical demands of your day but thrive in it.
While each member of the Mountain River team has their own unique focus and specialties, we all hold a set of shared standards and beliefs when it comes to care.
Our shared standards:
Empathetic care that understands the frustration of living in pain and is committed to lasting healing.
Expertise in identifying the root condition of your pain so you can get better and stay better.
A commitment to excellence because we believe you deserve the best, hands-on care.
