Our Philosophy
At Cooperative Physiotherapy we believe that physical therapy should be a collaborative process between the therapist and the client. We work closely with our clients to develop personalized treatment plans that not only address their physical needs but also take into account their lifestyle and goals.

Biography
Mara Hutton, PT, DPT
Mara Hutton is an experienced physical therapist with more than 15 years of clinical experience helping people move better, feel stronger, and get back to the activities they love. As the owner of Cooperative Physiotherapy, she brings together her expertise in orthopedic, sports, and pelvic health physical therapy to provide truly individualized care.
Mara earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Elon University and has spent her career treating a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. Her pelvic health practice includes treating pelvic pain and dysfunction, as well as helping patients better understand the connection between their pelvic health, strength, movement, and overall function.
Her approach to physical therapy is hands-on, practical, and centered around the individual—not just the diagnosis. Mara combines manual therapy, dry needling, Graston techniques, therapeutic exercise, and education to help patients understand what’s going on and, most importantly, what they can do about it. She is trained through Herman & Wallace in pelvic health, and by Myopain Seminars for Dry Needling.
Mara believes physical therapy should be more than something you do when you're injured. Whether you're recovering from an injury, preparing for a sport, navigating pelvic health changes, getting back to running, or simply trying to stay active as you get older, she wants her patients to feel confident in their bodies and equipped to keep moving.
After recently navigating her own ACL injury and recovery, Mara has an even greater appreciation for what it feels like to be on the other side of the treatment table—and the patience, persistence, and support it takes to get back to doing what you love.
