Meet Marty Ungs

Clinic Manager, PT, OCS

Marty lives in Urbandale, IA and has been working in the Des Moines area for over 30 years. Marty is a University of Iowa grad for both his undergrad and Physical Therapy degrees. Besides loving what he does for a living, his wife and three adult daughters keep him busy in activities from church, dance, and theatre.

Why did you become a Physical Therapist?

Physical Therapy is one of those lucky jobs that allow one to make a difference in someone’s life – to facilitate one’s return to a productive and active involvement in their work, activity, family, and hobbies.

What are you involved with in your community?

Marty and his wife are active in a local non-profit program called Dance Without Limits. This program provides youth (who are unable to participate in typical dance studios) the opportunity to learn dance and perform on stage. He has provided group exercise instruction at the local YMCA for over 15 years. His “fun job” involves providing contracted physical therapy services to the performers and support staff of the various Broadway shows that run at the Performing Arts Center.
