A Note from Sue Dupont, Clinic Owner

I’ve been a Physical Therapist for more than 35 years, and I built Align PT and Pilates to be the kind of clinic where clinicians can truly practice the way we were trained — with time, intention, movement, and hands‐on care. If you’re looking for a place where your clinical reasoning matters, where mentorship is real, and where you can grow into the clinician you want to become, I would love to talk with you.
