meet your Physical therapist

Hi! I’m Colin Marz. I founded Avante Physical Therapy to provide a high standard of Physical Therapy care in Columbia, South Carolina. I’m originally from the South suburbs of Chicago. I played D1 soccer at Coastal Carolina prior to getting my Doctorate in Physical Therapy and serving as a Physical Therapist in the Army for 7 years. I run marathons and ultramarathons. My family and I love this city and I want to serve my community by keeping folks healthy and able to continue doing what they love.

I look forward to listening to your story and helping you write your next chapter. I look forward to keeping you strong and healthy. I look forward to helping you get the very best out of yourself. I look forward to serving you.
