Mary Gregory Stocker - MSPT, DPT, NCPT, CSCS
As an Ooltewah physical therapist and Pilates expert specializing in injury recovery and chronic conditions, my passion for physical therapy ignited after overcoming a debilitating shoulder injury in my twenties. Inspired by my own successful rehabilitation, I shifted my graduate studies from Statistics to pursue a career in Physical Therapy at the University of Florida. Pilates became crucial in my personal healing journey when traditional physical therapy methods alone weren't enough to treat a subsequent back injury during my DPT program.
Becoming certified by the Pilates Method Alliance in 2003, I began integrating therapeutic Pilates into my physical therapy practice and observed significant improvements in my patients' recovery from various injuries. After earning my Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) in 2010, I established a Pilates studio focused on injury rehabilitation and the management of chronic pain in Huntsville.
Now serving the Ooltewah community, I continue to expand my skills as a Polestar Pilates Rehab Practitioner, dedicated to empowering individuals to achieve lasting health, improved movement, and overall wellness through expert physical therapy and specialized Pilates techniques.

I've been going to Mary for a LONG time now, and she has helped me with my issues more than any medication or doctor ever has. I was concerned about needing knee surgery, but her Pilates instruction has corrected my problem, and I am no longer considering surgery. Thank you, Mary!
- Sheryl L.
So thankful to have found Mary. She has taken the time to identify what is causing my issues and pain, and how to fix that in a way that more typical physical therapy providers can't. I've made more progress in 3 sessions with Mary than 5 weeks with regular PT.

Before moving to Chattanooga in December, 2019, I practiced Classical Pilates for 11 years in SC. I discovered Mary during the pandemic. She is a very knowledgeable instructor and is a Physical Therapist and a Polestar Pilates Rehab Practitioner. In my first session, she focused on proper form and alignment. It was an excellent first session. I have scheduled again.
