Bio

Whether it’s a high-level athlete rehabbing an injury or an older individual hoping to increase their mobility, Melanie excels in providing personalized care to help her patients meet their goals. Growing up as a dancer, Melanie was always interested in how the body worked and moved. It was after a ballet Injury sent her to PT that she found her true passion. She was so moved by the rehab experience and the ability of her therapist to get her back dancing that she went to Ithaca College and pursued physical therapy. Melanie didn’t totally forget about her roots in ballet as she also became a certified barre instructor. Melanie has been practicing PT in Westchester since 2014 and has a passion for working with local student athletes as the physical therapist for Iona University. It is this connection to the community that has led her to partner with Professional PT to open a second office in New Rochelle, on North Avenue. She looks forward to continuing to help patients of all ages get back to their best. She also has a newfound interest in working with pregnant and Postpartum individuals after recently becoming a mom.
