About

Founded in 2024 by Dr. Colleen Wallace, PT, Vital Strength Physical Therapy LLC was created to offer a more personalized, non-traditional approach to care—one that looks beyond isolated symptoms to treat the body as a whole.

Dr. Wallace earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Wheeling University in 2019 and has since worked in outpatient physical therapy. Her passion for the field began at a young age through her experience as a competitive horseback rider navigating years of physical therapy and chiropractic care. This personal journey inspired her to build a practice that fills a gap in traditional rehab models.

At Vital Strength Physical Therapy, sessions are designed with a holistic lens—evaluating total body movement, alignment, and functional patterns. Dr. Wallace specializes in working with equestrian athletes, using movement analysis to create custom programs that improve rider balance, strength, and performance. Her goal is to support riders dealing with pain, limited endurance, or general riding dysfunction.

In addition to equestrian-specific care, Dr. Wallace offers one-on-one outpatient therapy that emphasizes long-term wellness, movement correction, and recovery. Her non-traditional approach incorporates hands-on techniques and movement-based treatments to promote pain relief, optimize performance, and prevent injury.
