Upon getting accepted into Elon University’s Physical Therapy program, Marco moved to Burlington, North Carolina, where he pursued his dream of becoming a Physical Therapist. Through his classroom education and clinical experiences, Marco has become proficient in working with people from all types of backgrounds, with a special interest in recreational athletes, runners, and endurance sports.
