About The Method
Thomasville

You’ve heard it before: “Progress, not perfection.” Here at The Method Rehab and Wellness in Thomasville, GA, we start each treatment and class with an intention. It’s a way to take small steps towards the personal goals we set for ourselves.

Over time, these small goals and daily intentions become The Method by which we live. Think of us as your guides and movement experts. We deliver a mindful movement approach to improve function, reduce pain, and promote overall physical wellbeing to enhance daily living.

The Method is a physical therapy and wellness clinic that specializes in the continuum of care. We believe that your first step in wellness starts with intentional movement and goal setting. And we are here to help you along the way, whether through skilled physical therapy, private Pilates, or group barre classes.

rehab, Women’s health, Parkinson’s Disease, balance/fall Recovery, joint replacement recovery, and low back/neck pain management.

Meet The Founder

The Method founder, Christina Maher, is a dancer turned physical therapist and pilates instructor. Physical therapy came to Christina as a second career. Her first love — dance. It was during her tenure at a performing arts high school that her interest in injury prevention, therapeutic yoga and Pilates, and movement behavior and patterns sparked her change of career to physical therapy.

She attributes her unique approach to therapy and her rehab success rate to her personal experience as a dancer and dance teacher.

Prior to opening The Method in 2020, Christina worked in the traditional outpatient physical therapy setting as well as inpatient rehabilitation in Savannah, GA, where she and her husband were living before moving to Thomasville, GA.

Christina is married to Patrick Maher, and they have two young daughters.

Christina received a Doctorate of Physical Therapy, Master of Arts in Dance Education, and a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Dance. She is a classically trained Pilates instructor, a certified Yoga Instructor through Yoga Alliance and a nationally certified ballet instructor through American Ballet Theatre’s Training Curriculum. She joyfully uses her movement expertise, therapeutic yoga, and Pilates training to guide her unique treatment approach.

Christina specializes in Pilates-based rehab, neurological disorders, women’s health, dance medicine, and post-operative care.
