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 and evaluates the body as a complete system.

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 focused on long-term wellness, performance, and movement optimization.

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-focused training, Dr. Wallace offers one-on-one sessions that emphasize movement correction, recovery, and overall wellness. Her non-traditional approach incorporates hands-on techniques and movement-based methods to promote pain relief, optimize performance, and prevent injury.
