1 hour 3 minutes

Welcome to the 29th episode of the Back to Human Podcast.

Joining me today I have returning guest and good friend Dr. Christiana Marron. Dr. Marron is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and runs her own private 1-on-1 physical therapy practice in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Dr Marron is well versed in a multitude of different modalities that she uses in her practice including but not limited to:

• Graston Technique

• Dry-needling

• Postural restoration
