I can’t say enough good things about Physical Therapy of Melissa! Dr. Austin has been a game changer for my lower back pain—not only did he help relieve the pain, but he also taught me proper body mechanics that have made a huge difference in my daily life. I also had a massage with Amanda and wow—it was hands down the best massage I’ve ever had. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about the body and I could tell she truly knew what she was doing. Lisa at the front desk is just the sweetest! She makes you feel so welcomed and taken care of from the moment you walk in. Highly recommend this amazing team!
