Meet Physical Therapist to the Stars, Dr. Marla Murphy. When she’s not saving people from chronic aches and pains or teaching them to walk again, Marla is buried in medical notes trying to document her every action and defend her treatment plan so that she can receive reimbursement from insurance companies, while also co-managing her business. Or she’s sleeping. Basically living the glamorous life.

Marla attended school in Forrest City until she was 15 and then moved to Saline County where she attended Bauxite High School. It was at Bauxite where she was elected class officer two times in a row by her classmates in the “Class Clown” category. (It should be noted here that Marla was running for Class President when her schoolmates instead elected her to be Class Clown but she knows it was a confusing ballot and there might have been some hanging chads).  She earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at the University of Central Arkansas, along with a couple of other undergraduate degrees that basically made her a well rounded individual but aren’t anything that would get her hired into a career.

Marla has been married to her hilarious and hot bodied husband, Jason, since 1992. They have 3 children: their son Chase was in Engineering school and is now a legalized drug business professional, their daughter Chandler was an active duty member of the U.S. Navy and is now an adult entertainment dancer, and the youngest  Logan is a bad ass musician who can play any instrument you put in his hands, has multiple songs from his band on various streaming platforms and also works 40-60 hours weekly at his primary job. Basically our spawn are sex, drugs and rock & roll.

Marla is still puzzled why she was chosen by Patrick to be a revolving guest rider on this exciting new adventure he’s got going on but she’s excited for the new challenge and fun it will bring to her life. But let’s be totally honest here, there are a lot of things that puzzle her.
