Brenda Zagula, M.P.T.

I want you to live well!  My desire is to help people improve their health rather than to tolerate dysfunction with compensations or medications.  My education and clinical experience have combined to give me a solid foundation in the practice of Physical Therapy fundamentals.  I have built on this foundation and continue to explore new pathways to facilitate the wisdom of the human body to change, heal, and function at a higher level.  I believe that balance is a crucial component of all aspects of health.  We are beings composed of mind, body, and spirit.  Balancing the body involves the structure, function, internal environment, and effects of emotions, attitudes and beliefs. 

My practice provides input for the client to change their structure and function as indicated, and support them in addressing the spiritual, emotional, and nutritional aspects of their health.  I enjoy time with my husband and our two children, and finding ways to nurture myself through exercise, reading, spiritually stimulating endeavors, gardening, and sports.
