Mary Gregory Stocker - MSPT, DPT, NCPT, CSCS
I discovered my passion for physical therapy after overcoming a debilitating shoulder injury in my twenties. Inspired by my own recovery, I left my graduate program in Statistics to pursue a career in Physical Therapy at the University of Florida. Pilates became a pivotal part of my journey when traditional methods fell short in treating a subsequent back injury during PT school.
Certified by the Pilates Method Alliance in 2003, I integrated Pilates into my practice and witnessed profound improvements in my patients' recovery. After earning my Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2010, I founded a Pilates studio in Huntsville focusing on injury recovery and chronic conditions.
Now based in Chattanooga, I continue to deepen my expertise as a Polestar Pilates Rehab Practitioner, dedicated to helping others achieve lasting health and wellness.

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!

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.
