STORY OF NEW MOON
New Moon Physical Therapy and Wellness was created by Dr. Davida Murray to be much needed resource and support for pregnant and postpartum (once postpartum, always postpartum) women to get the care they need to feel their best and lives their best lives.
New Moon is designed to focus solely on the patient using a holistic approach, without any insurance company or provider dictating external requirements. New Moon is only here for one reason- to give women and mothers the 100% attention they deserve in order to lead themselves and their families without any pain or dysfunction that may require them to sit on the sidelines or not function at their full capacity.
Because moms are busy taking care of themselves and others, New Moon makes moms lives easier by treating them in their home or office in the Middlebury and Burlington, VT areas.
