Mara Gosen PT, DPT
I am a licensed physical therapist through the state of Michigan that has been practicing in Pediatrics for three years now. I attended undergraduate and graduate school where I received my doctorate at Central Michigan University.
​
I strive to enhance children's participation and independence in daily activities at
home, school, and in the community as well as preventing or reducing the risk of secondary complications or impairments. Every treatment session is individualized to the child's needs and engagement. I enjoy learning new techniques as well as staying up to date with education courses. Currently, my continuing education courses include Serial casting, Neurodevelopment techniques (NDT), Pediatric bowel and bladder and toe walking.
​
I have taken DMI Intro Level A and Level B. This technique can be used in weekly therapy sessions or intensives.
What is DMI?
Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is a therapeutic technique used to treat children with motor delay by improving automatic postural responses and promoting progress towards developmental milestones. The goal of DMI is to provoke a specified active motor response from the child in response to defined dynamic exercises prescribed by the therapist.

In my spare time I enjoy taking all different kinds of work out classes such as Yoga, Pilates and Orange Theory. I enjoy traveling, being outdoors, going to concerts and spending time with my mini goldendoodle Nash.

Testimonials
Sarah
Oh my goodness, I am so beyond grateful to have met Mara. She has done so much to help my daughter in this year that we have known her and I will forever be thankful for that. She made such strides with her toe walking and it's no longer a coping mechanism for her. She loves Mara so so much and I am so thankful for the relationship and friendship both my daughter and I have gotten to build with Mara.
Megan
We see Mara for PT and have had a great experience. Our daughter has made tons of progress in 4 months and has fun while doing so. Our daughter is visually impaired and Mara works great with her still challenging her while maybe adapting some things, whereas other providers elsewhere didn't know how to work with a child with low vision.
Caitlyn
Mara was absolutely wonderful with our 2 month old! We saw her for torticollis and she helped remedy it very quickly. Our kiddo loved getting to visit Hello Pediatric!
