Anna Grace Marshall, PT, DPT

Originally from Tuscaloosa, Anna Grace earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Sciences from Auburn University in 2020. During her time there, she worked with the Kinesiology department helping diabetic adults learn various forms of exercise to promote overall health and wellbeing. Following graduation, Anna Grace went on to earn her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Samford University in 2023.

Anna Grace’s first physical therapy work experience was in the skilled nursing setting, where she worked with the aging population. It was during this time that she solidified her skills in balance training, strength training for the older adult, and educating the aging population about the benefits of continued movement on quality of life and reduction of risk for poor health outcomes.

Anna Grace found her true passion in working with outpatient orthopedic patients, joining The Total Joint team in 2024. She furthered her education by earning her Dry Needling Certification (Cert DN) through the American Academy of Manipulative Therapy. In the clinic, Anna Grace has a passion for working with active adults with lower extremity injuries, as well as older adults who want to maintain balance and improve their mobility in the community. She enjoys helping these individuals get back to activities that they love but felt they needed to stop doing because of pain or safety concerns. She finds joy in watching people gain the confidence and movement needed to take on their goals.

Anna Grace is the Social Chair for The Total Joint, and she takes pride in fostering a sense of community and commraderie among our staff. In addition, she is part of the unofficial sports duo of the company, partnering with Jimmy to take on pickleball tournaments, golf tournaments, and more.

In her free time, Anna Grace enjoys golfing, pickleball, and traveling. She is a tri-athlete and regularly completes running and triatholon events.

Hear Directly from Anna Grace’s Patients

“When I arrived at The Total Joint, I had just been diagnosed with a severely herniated disc with debilitating nerve compression. I never imagined I could wake up unable to walk at 35, but before my pain block, that was my reality. My surgeon said surgery was inevitable but allowed me to try PT, and I was able to get on AG’s schedule a few days later. I met with AG with tears in my eyes, terrified of what was ahead. She assured me that there was hope and that they could help get me back to my life. Their Patient Services Coordinator Jeanette worked around my schedule week to week, which allowed me to see multiple therapists throughout my recovery. AG, Max, Zac, and Kimberly met me with empathy, pushed me when I needed it, and guided me through a recovery I wasn’t sure was possible. I was able to avoid surgery entirely. I came in hopeless and dependent on a walker. Today I am walking pain free and back on my bike. I cannot recommend The Total Joint highly enough. They helped me get my life back!”

“Great caring, professional and personable staff. I have progressed from constant pain and limited movement to occasional, brief moments of pain and strength and flexibility is continuing to improve. Kudos to Anna Grace and the entire staff.”

“I’m a grandmother! I loved playing with my grands, working in the garden, and going hiking. However, my 70 year-old arthritic knees were seriously limiting how active I could be. I was tired of it! Short story: I got connected with The Total Joint Physical Therapy and Anna Grace…who subsequently literally walked me through prehab and rehab for 2 Total Knee Replacements(TKR) in 2025! I’ve returned to the gym 2 days a week, and am walking 20-30 minutes a day with NO knee pain! It’s been only 4 months since the 2nd TKR! I’m so thankful for Anna Grace’s encouragement, patience, and wisdom through the entire healing and process. She helped me stay focused! As you can tell, I cannot recommend The Total Joint Physical Therapy enough! A caring, professional, and highly qualified team.”

“After an orthopedics practice told me I would never again jog without pain, I went to The Total Joint. During the initial consult with Anna Grace (and Jimmy), I knew I had come to the right place! They set realistic goals and expectations while crafting a plan to get me back to my usual activities. After working with Anna Grace for 8 weeks, I’m pain-free most days, including the days I go jogging! So lucky to have such fun, friendly, and skilled physical therapists in my neighborhood! Thank you, Total Joint!”

“It has been a real pleasure working with Anna Grace for the past several months. She has adapted to my needs as we go along and the results have been great, increasing my strength and mobility and nearly eliminating my knee and back pain. I am very grateful and I highly recommend The Total Joint and Anna Grace.”
