Origin Story

Michelle started working at Atlantic Physical Therapy in 2011. A few years in an opportunity presented itself. The owner, Michellel’s boss, wanted to sell the business and Michelle bit. She took ownership of APT in 2015. Part of her decision to buy the business was because she knew she could expand its specialities.

Many of Michelle’s friends started having children and needed pelvic floor physical therapy. There were few options for folks needing pelvic floor PT at the time, so she hired a pelvic floor physical therapist to mentor her while she completed her education. Michelle has made APT into an orthopedic and pelvic health practice with a mission to provide high quality holistic care.

Michelle is passionate about treating common pelvic problems such as incontinence and pain with sex. It’s important to her to help as many people as possible so she accepts most insurance and treats all genders. 

“We pride ourselves on providing our community with the highest quality of care delivered in an efficient manner.”
