    Mary Lou Savino on Building a Patient Referral System

    Getting referrals from other patients is critical to the success of any local practice. Are you really getting as many referrals as you can?

She specializes in the use of Pilates as therapeutic exercise in rehab with an eclectic approach to incorporating Pilates, Dry Needling, Light Therapy and wellness modalities into treatments.
