She worked the sideline before she worked the clinic.
Dr. Mary Ninivaggi trained in athletic training at Marywood University and started her career as an ATC, with athletes, at the moment things went wrong. Then she earned her DPT at Rutgers. Before either of those, she was a multi-sport athlete herself, which is a useful thing in a therapist: she has been the one asking when she can play again, and she knows that "rest it" is not an answer.
Most of her work is knee and lower-body injuries, plus the dynamic balance that keeps those injuries from happening a second time. She is also certified in vestibular rehabilitation through the American Institute of Balance, the AIB-VRC after her name, so she treats the other kind of balance problem too. If the room spins or your footing has stopped feeling reliable, our vestibular therapy and balance and gait disorders pages explain that side of her work.
