A native of Tucson, Heidi Fisher is a licensed physical therapist with specialty certifications in orthopedic (OCS) and manual therapy (CMPT). She is also a Certified Pilates Teacher (CPT) through the national Pilates Method Alliance (PMA). She received her undergraduate degree at Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon and spent time working with the National Park Service, as well as in the legal, credit and hotel industries. She was awarded her Masters in Physical Therapy from the University of New Mexico in 2005 and spent the next 4 years serving with the US Public Health Service on the Navajo Indian Reservation as a physical therapist. She continued her specialty training with the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy (NAIOMT), receiving her CMPT designation in 2014 and completed her Doctor of Science in Manual Physical Therapy (DScPT) soon after from Andrews University.
She established the first hospital-based Pilates program in Tucson for Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital, and worked as a highly regarded specialty therapist and mentor in the outpatient clinic. She first experienced Pilates and its rehabilitative benefits while working at a PT clinic in Tucson. She saw the great value of Pilates as a complement to traditional therapy services, so she completed the rehabilitation track of the Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training with Polestar Pilates in 2014. She also incorporates other techniques and approaches, including Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT) and Applied Functional Science (CAFS). Every individual she works with gets customized one-on-one care, which we each deserve, but often struggle to find in today's healthcare environment. When she has a spare moment or two, you might find her on the dance floor, relaxing with her dogs and cats and a good book, or trying her hand at quilting, baking or writing.
