Melanie is the best physical therapist I have ever gone to. Over the past several years I have seen a few different physical therapists to address occasional pain and discomfort in my shoulder that started after I broke my arm. I had given up on my shoulder ever feeling like it was back to normal and then someone recommended Melanie. She did a very thorough assessment and within a few visits she identified the root of the problem, explained to me what was causing my pain, and gave me exercises that actually fixed my shoulder and therefore the pain that I was experiencing! I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Melanie treated my shoulder. When we started, I had stopped swimming, had issues with upper back and shoulder pain which made it difficult to sleep for more than a couple hours. I had both x-rays and MRI’s which did indicate some rotator cuff damage to the muscles and some calcium buildup in the joint. Melanie did an initial assessment, put together a regiment of stretching, exercising, and targeted massage that fairly quickly reduced the pain and improved mobility. In the three or so months we have been working on my shoulder the pain has been reduced to the point where I have resumed my normal swimming schedule and am much more comfortable sleeping. The thing that has been most beneficial is that Melanie has provided me with tools to address my shoulder issues by myself. With a combination of stretches, exercises, and using the tiger ball to get tight back muscles to release, I have resumed more of my pre-therapy activities than I ever expected. Thanks to Melanie and here intern Aude.

I started seeing Melanie after a very severe injury. I had gone to see orthopedic surgeons who recommended surgery and other physical therapists who only addressed very superficial issues. Melanie took the time to do a thorough head to toe for me and as she started working on me she found more injuries and deficits. She was the only provider to really listen to me and when I told her how much pain I was in, she focused there first. Every time she worked on me I could tell she was constantly re-evaluating whether what she was doing was working and what she should do next. Once I was out of pain she came up with a comprehensive plan to get me back to better than before I was injured - which I now am 6 months later thanks to Melanie. She refused to let me settle for anything less than completely healed and because of her I am able to go back to work and live my life fully again.
