Aria Mangrum

Future Office Manager

Every great business needs a strong leader in training, and at Mangrum Physical Therapy and Performance, that’s Aria! As the Future Office Manager, she’s already learning the ropes and keeping everyone on their toes. At home, she’s known as the House Manager, making sure things run smoothly (and that her parents stay on schedule).

When she’s not preparing for her future leadership role, Aria loves playing volleyball, sewing, and staying active. Whether she’s crafting something creative or perfecting her serve, she puts her heart into everything she does.

One day, she might be running the clinic—but for now, she’s making sure her dad stays in line and her family stays organized.

Austin Mangrum

Future Physical Therapist

Austin is already setting his sights on becoming a physical therapist just like his dad. Whether he's watching and learning at the clinic or asking questions about how the body moves, he's on a mission to help people feel their best one day.

When he’s not perfecting his planks and push ups (or making sure his dad is doing them right!), you can find him on the court or the field, playing basketball and soccer. His love for sports keeps him active, and one day he’ll be helping athletes recover and perform at their best.

For now, he’s enjoying the game, learning all he can, and getting ready for his future in physical therapy. Watch out, there’s another Dr. Mangrum in the making.
