🎉 4 Years of Care
Today marks four years since I opened my doors and took a big leap into the wild and wonderful world of private practice ownership.

If you haven’t met me yet, hi 👋🏼 I’m Dr. Mary! Four years ago, I was working full time as a staff physical therapist while building my practice up on the side. If you didn’t know, Tribu started as a fully mobile practice where I’d see patients before/after my work shifts or on the weekends and I drove allllll over Pierce County (and beyond😆).

📍I was lucky to find places to plant my feet in and .fit as I grew.

🤝🏽 And I’ve been grateful to build (and continue to build) a wonderful network of trusted providers as well as rad humans with rad small businesses in Tacoma - laying roots down in this sweet community of ours. 🩵

💪🏽 I also want to acknowledge that many in our communities near and far are hurting right now. Keep leaning on each other - small ripples can turn into big waves of change and community is everything. Let’s do this, Tacoma. Here’s to another year 🔥

🏔The offseason isn’t a break… it’s your upgrade window.

Races might be months away, but this is when strong, resilient runners are actually built. When you’re not juggling peak mileage or chasing PRs, your body finally has the bandwidth to level up your base strength, clean up imbalances, and bolster the tissues that usually get overloaded once training ramps.

Think of it as putting money in the bank 💰so future-you can cash out on race day.
A body that’s strong and dialed in doesn’t sit on the sidelines. It stacks miles, builds momentum, and keeps you in the game - whether that’s on the road, on the trails, or in life.

Use your offseason wisely and your next season won’t just feel better… you’ll run better. 💪🏽

A peek inside Tribu’s Premier Runner Evaluation 👀

If you’re a runner who’s tired of guessing, tired of nagging pain, or just ready to take your training seriously, this is where things start to change.

When you come in, we dig deeper than a quick screen. We walk through your full injury and training history, run you through runner-specific strength and mobility testing, and for the folks who’ll benefit the most, we layer in a high-precision running analysis with the .ai belt plus slow-motion video.

Video shows us the outside.
Runeasi shows us the inside.
Tribu puts it all together with your particular symptoms, history, and goals.

Because even the sharpest coach’s eye can’t measure how your body is handling impact or shock absorption. The Runeasi belt fills in those blind spots, giving us real-time insight into how well you’re:
💥 managing impact
💥 absorbing load
💥 staying symmetrical and controlled with every stride

It’s the kind of info that helps you finally get ahead of pain instead of chasing it, and build a body that actually supports the miles you want to run.

And fun fact: Tribu is the only Runeasi-certified provider in the South Sound/Tacoma area.
If you’re ready to run smarter, stay healthier, and actually feel confident in your mechanics, this is your next step.
