Dr. Nicole Durga
Dr. Nicole Durga is a senior physical therapist and Vitality At Home's Director of Business Development and Client Experience. She earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy from Grand Valley State University in 2012, after a bachelor's in Physical and Psychological Wellness from the University of Olivet. Licensed in both Michigan and Ohio, she brings more than twenty years in healthcare and leadership to every home visit, with deep experience in stroke, MS, Parkinson's, joint replacement, and balance.
Recovery is not just physical. When people rebuild confidence in what their body can do, the strength and the independence follow.
What guides the work.
After more than twenty years in healthcare, I have learned that the best outcomes come from meeting people where they are, literally and figuratively. Whether someone is recovering from a stroke, a joint replacement, or a hard fall, the plan has to fit their home, their history, and their goals. I care about clear communication, steady progress you can feel, and treating every person with the respect and full attention they deserve for the entire visit.
Off the clock.
Life beyond the treatment table.
Away from patient care, Nicole enjoys reading, traveling, and getting out on the golf course. She is also a keynote speaker and serves on boards and advisory councils, channeling more than two decades of experience into helping the wider healthcare community grow. That same energy for teaching and connection shows up in her visits, where she takes the time to explain the reasoning behind every step of your recovery.
