​

   My name is Marcy Frederico and I am a physical therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience.  I am also a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, NASM Certified Nutrition Coach,  Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist, and Certified Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES).

​

I provide three different services:

​

Physical therapy expertise to help you recover from injury or surgery.  My areas of expertise include vestibular rehabilitation, balance and fall prevention, pelvic health, geriatric rehabilitation, orthopedics, post operative rehabilitation, and neurological rehabilitation.

​

Personal training to build strength, confidence, and to support a safe transition after physical therapy to continue progress and prevent setbacks. 

​

Coaching women age 40+ through personalized online coaching, supporting sustainable changes in nutrition, fitness, and mindset for long term strength and confidence.  

​

 

​I started Total Care Physical Therapy and Wellness to deliver care in the best way possible. I became increasingly frustrated with the current model of care where you see one physical therapist for the evaluation, then rotate between different therapists at each visit, all while they're juggling multiple patients. I kept thinking, there has to be a better way. 

​

So Total Care Physical Therapy and Wellness was born. An approach centered on individualized one-on-one care. 

​

As my practice grew, I began to see another major gap. Many clients would finish physical therapy feeling better, but not truly strong or confident in their bodies. They were often unsure about how to resume exercising safely, afraid of re-injury, or overwhelmed and unsure of how to progress beyond therapy.  Strength training was clearly needed, but guidance was missing. That's when I expanded my practice to include personal training. To help clients safety build strength, regain confidence, and continue progressing beyond therapy. 

​

While I've always been passionate about fitness, I began to face new challenges during menopause.  The scale really started creeping up.  I was exhausted, suffering from night sweats and poor sleep.  I had severe joint pain, and every time I turned around, I seemed to have a new nagging pain or injury.  I knew what I needed to do habit wise, but just couldn't stay consistent. Every day I felt like I was "starting over" and would say to myself, "I'll be better tomorrow".  To make matters worse, the online space was telling me to "do this" and "do that" and it just became all so overwhelming.

 

Through my own personal journey with nutrition and mindset coaching as a client, I discovered strategies that truly worked, shifted my mindset, and was able to lose a significant amount of weight despite being menopausal.  I learned how to incorporate consistent, sustainable habits, and finally started prioritizing myself after years of taking care of everyone else first.  That experience inspired me to create my online coaching program for women 40+, helping them navigate nutrition, fitness, and mindset in a simplified, realistic, and sustainable way.  I am passionate about helping women so they can live their best lives not only now, but into their later years as well. 

​

On a personal level, I am a native Jersey girl and attended the University of Delaware (Go Blue Hens!).   During my freshman year, I was involved in a very serious car accident and received physical therapy for several months. After experiencing how helpful it was, decided to pursue it as a career.  I then completed the physical therapy program at Hahnemann/Drexel University in Philadelphia, moved down to the sunshine state a few months later, and the rest is history!   

 

I enjoy staying active and have been learning how to shuffle dance. I also enjoy time with family and friends,  playing softball, tennis, weight training, good food, traveling, and have completed 7 marathons.  (And I just want you to know that...peanut butter is life!).
