Melissa earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Northeastern University. During her time there, Melissa was a part of the NEU Women’s Powerlifting team and competed at collegiate national competitions.
Throughout her clinical and co-op experiences, Melissa has worked with a variety of patient populations and locations including NYC, Boston, and Hawaii. Her clinical experience includes outpatient orthopedics, geriatrics, aquatic therapy, sports rehabilitation, and post-operative rehabilitation. She is particularly passionate about helping patients achieve their full potential and return to the activities they love. She believes in creating well-rounded individualized plans that include both manual therapy techniques, functional activities, and therapeutic exercises.
Though Melissa is a New Yorker at heart, she attended high school overseas in Singapore. Outside of the clinic, you can find Melissa biking around the city, hiking at scenic trails, deadlifting at the gym, and travelling to new destinations.
