Meet Dr. Marlisa Overton
I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist with over a decade of experience in sports and orthopedic rehabilitation.
My career began with military service as a U.S. Army physical therapist, where I gained expertise working with athletes, service members, and active individuals. I've collaborated with multidisciplinary teams and even served as Physical Therapist for the U.S. Men's All-Army and All-Armed Forces Soccer Teams.
What My Patients Say
Real stories from athletes and active individuals who've experienced the Afterglow difference.
"I'm no longer waking up in pain"
By the end of every session, I left with noticeable relief that kickstarted my recovery. I've continued doing the PT movements she prescribed twice a day and the difference has been monumental. I'm no longer waking up in pain, my hip no longer cramps during intense workouts, and I feel stronger and more capable in the gym. Dr. Overton's approach is smart, functional, and results-driven.

"She takes the Time to Listen"
Dr. Marlisa is an amazing PT! She takes the time to listen to what's going on and creates a solid exercise plan to get you back up and running again. I've also gotten dry needling done from her a couple times (back and foot) and it always unlocks bound up muscles. Can't recommend her enough!

"Dr. Overton Should be Your First Stop"
As a member of the All Army Men's Soccer Team I truly enjoyed working with Dr. Overton as she offered an extensive list of rehabilitative interventions such as dry needling, target therapy, and an array of stretches. Not only did she supply me with a plan but also served as a guide to understand why I experienced certain pain and aches.
