Sandra has been a physical trainer and therapist for the past 13 years. She truly loves to help others and has also been transformed and empowered by being able to treat her own issues. As a runner, she began battling physical pain in high school and “felt like an 80-year-old in a 20-year-old’s body” by college. In her third year of physical therapy school, she discovered 3D functional movement and after 8 months of putting it intopractice,wasable torunahalfmarathonwithout pain. This style of PT gave Sandra her body back and her passion is toshare itwithothers inasafeenvironment,where therapists, trainers, and wellness coaches can give their time, knowledge, and compassion. “G3 Physical Therapy has changed my life and given me back my mobility. I had surgery on both feet and was in a wheelchair for over 2 months. The caring staff at G3 helped me to stand on my own two feet again after 3 years of debilitating foot pain. I have worked the most with Holly and Mike as well as their aides Sam and Emily, but every single therapist and student aide has treated me with kindness, caring and have been committed to my recovery. I love how well the entire staff gets along and how much fun they bring to each session. And I have to give a lot of credit to the front desk staff. They have a big job and they do it well and with smiles on their faces. Look no further- this place is the best place to heal and strengthen your body! ” - Natalie P.

Meet The Staff Sandra Van Glider
Remembering Mary It’s no secret that, the more we Gather, Give, and Grow, the more invested in others we are. That’s what makes G3’s extended family so close. When we lose a family member, it just plain sucks. Well, unfortunately, we lost one of our closest family members last month. We’re all mourning the loss of Mary S, whom God took from us suddenly last month. It was hard to not be inspired by Mary--from her refusal to hide her chemo-induced hair loss, to her hard work. We will forever miss her beautifulsmileandencouragement.Marywas a consistent force at G3 who impacted all of us. While we miss Mary daily, we can honor her memory by doing our best to adopt her spirit, kindness, and courage.
