Ms Mary Ann Colle is a physiotherapist based at California Chiropractic and Sports Medicine Center in Dubai. Her interest in this area was sparked after seeing her brother's recovery from a radial fracture when they were growing up. Since then, Ms Colle has had a fascination with how the body is able to overcome damage and return to full function. She has a passion for helping people and loves to meet new patients and help them on their way to recovery.

She studied physiotherapy at Tanchuling College in the Philippines and, after earning her bachelor's degree, began working in various hospital settings with patients requiring orthopaedic, musculoskeletal, sports, and neurologic rehabilitation.

She then travelled to Dubai to gain more expertise and spent 10 years at Lifeline Hospital in Jebel Ali. She has continued her career at the California Chiropractic and Sports Medicine Center, where she is able to further develop her skills and knowledge while treating patients.

Ms Colle is dedicated to her continued professional development and ensures that she attends courses and training. For example, she has undertaken training in HVLAT (high-velocity low amplitude) in Dubai, shoulder assessment and treatment in London, as well as various other exercise therapy training courses.
