About Melissa Peterson, PT, DPT

Philosophy of Care

I aim to create a collaborative and supportive environment for my patients to help them meet their personal goals. I believe an individualized treatment program based on the specific needs and interests of the patient is the most important aspect of physical therapy. Together we will come up with a plan to restore function, decrease pain, and encourage a return to all activities.
