Services

We know that you may still have questions and be wondering if Melissa is the right provider for you even after perusing her website and multiple social media sites. Schedule a 15 minute exploratory phone or Zoom call today to see if you and Melissa are a good fit! 

In 1:1 (no aides or techs) unrushed physical therapy appointments, Melissa will support you in building a healthier you. No matter what your Physical Therapy goals are, Melissa will keep you on the path to meeting them. 

Following a thorough evaluation which includes getting to know you and understanding your goals, she will develop a customized plan that addresses your needs. Throughout the course of the therapy episode, she will work with you to stay on task to meet your goals. She will meet with you for formal visits (whether in the clinic, at your home or via telehealth) and/or keep you on task with check-ins via e-mail/text as necessary.

At PT Squared, no orthopedic injury is off limits! Though Melissa has a special interest in runners and athletes, she is very accustomed to treating a variety of people and diagnoses. Through her 20 years as a Physical Therapist, Melissa has seen it all! From the athlete to the weekend warrior or anything in between!  

Melissa's Physical Therapy skillset includes, but is not limited to, manual therapy techniques such as Graston Technique and joint mobilizations, development of custom and detailed home exercise programs, and an ability to educate people on their diagnosis and how to manage their pain. With this skillset, Melissa can help a variety of pains and injuries. 

The following are just a few examples of clients Melissa helps on a daily basis: 

 *the runner with foot pain such as Plantar Fasciitis or knee pain such as Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome  

*the gardener or weekend warrior with generalized back pain  

*the swimmer or tennis player with Rotator Cuff Tendinitis 

*the new mother with neck pain related to poor postures while carrying her newborn or from the stress of being a mom  

*the soccer player with a high hamstring strain and/or groin pain  

Melissa has seen it all and is available for examination, diagnosis, treatment and ongoing wellness of these and a variety of other issues!

 Not feeling like you're as flexible or as strong as you'd like to be? Do you feel your body isn't aging in the best possible way or that tasks that used to be easy are now more challenging? Or are you a runner who wants to be more resilient to running related injuries and/or improve on your running performance (such as pace or distance)?

As a Physical Therapist well-versed in norms for flexibility and strength, Melissa can take you through a series of tests and measures to help you understand if you are doing ok and/or see where you might benefit from improvement.

 
Melissa believes a yearly musculoskeletal strength and flexibility check-up could help identify areas needing attention sooner than later, ultimately helping people lead happier, healthier lives! 

Maybe a 1:1 assessment isn't your thing? That's ok too! Melissa offers group strength classes in the home. Grab up to 3 of your runner friends, decide on whose home you want to have the fun, interactive one hour session at, and contact Melissa to set this up today!

Melissa understands that sometimes there are obstacles such as time constraints, childcare, and health issues that make coming into a medical office less than ideal. She also wants her services to be available per her Wisconsin state license to anyone in the state of Wisconsin. 

For those reasons, Melissa provides telehealth services and can meet with you over a secure connection to achieve high-quality healthcare! 

  Though at first it may seem that quality care would be not possible without hands-on assessment and treatment, Melissa has found this to not be true and would encourage you to reach out even if you're unsure how this could work! Through the pandemic, like many, Melissa has learned to provide care that not only meets, but exceeds client expectations!

Same day appointments available!
