Melissa McCarthy, PT, DPT
(Assistant Director of Partnerships)
Dr. Melissa McCarthy received her undergraduate training at the University of Wisconsin – Superior with a major in Biology. She then attended the University of Minnesota where she received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy. She is certified in Astym, Functional Dry Needling, and Systematic Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA).
In her 10 years of experience as a physical therapist, the three pillars of her practice include first identifying movement dysfunction to determine the root cause of pain, followed by addressing any restrictions then retraining functional movement patterns.
Running marathons and weight training as a lifelong athlete herself, Dr. Melissa values the interconnectedness of general health, nutrition, and well being as important factors of living and moving well. She wants to empower people with those same tools to use in their own lives.
