After years of directing orthopedic clinics, I've decided to embark on a new venture: establishing a high-quality concierge therapy service. With each passing year, insurance companies impose greater challenges for therapists striving to maintain their practice. This has led many clinics to adopt a co-treatment model, where 3-5 patients are treated simultaneously.
However, this approach is not sustainable for both patients and therapists. You deserve better – quality care, meticulous attention to detail, and the highest standard of treatment.
As the founder of Florida Strong Physical Therapy, I hold a current license in the state of Florida. My expertise encompasses evaluating and treating a wide array of conditions, including musculoskeletal, neurological, and vestibular impairments, sports injuries, total joint replacements, arthroscopic surgeries, and falls prevention.
I hold a degree in Biology and Chemistry from Youngstown State University in Ohio, followed by a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Additionally, I have expanded my skill set by obtaining certification in dry needling, a technique effective in pain management and rehabilitation.
I am also an APTA-Credentialed Clinical Instructor and collaborate with St. Augustine University and Broward College. Furthermore, I serve on the Advisory Board for Keiser University.

Having undergone physical therapy for various sports injuries, she is able to empathize with her patients' pain and discomfort. Melanie is fantastic at what she does and patients love to work with her.
