My Story
Hi,
I’m Melanie.
25 years as a physical therapist! How did I become the old lady in the room?
Anyway, I’ve been around the block long enough to both hear and personally experience all the complaints regarding the PT profession.
Your story should never be neglected or dismissed by your health care provider. Melanie C
For me there was a growing frustration with how patients were dismissed by providers and were rushed in their clinic sessions.
I had a sense I could do it differently.
A way in which the patient came before the bottom line. Patient centered. Not provider centered.
Where insurance didn’t dictate visit numbers. Where the patient had time to relay their full story and I fully had time to listen.
It’s been fantastic so far!
I want to treat people, the same way I want to be treated: fairly, ethically, respectfully, and honestly, and taking the time to really listen. Melanie C
Personally I know what it feels like to share my health concerns with a doctor and not feel heard at all.
It’s rotten and you are left feeling hopeless.
So I understand that you need someone to listen and to help connect all the dots for you. I understand that you may fear you will never exercise like you did before. You may even feel like your body is broken. This is where it becomes even more critical form an alliance and partner together.
Chronic nerve pain is consuming and discouraging. Melanie empowered me to mange my pain with stretching and weight lifting. I’m so grateful for her expertise and the time she took to really listen. Leeana T
My goal is to help you make sense of your symptoms and to set you up for success.
It is ultimately about your autonomy not your dependence.
This makes all the difference!
I worked with Melanie for my back pain, and she was amazing!! From day one, I felt at ease with her, and she really took the time to listen to what I was going through. Her approach to therapy was spot-on, and I noticed improvement much faster than I expected. Maggie O
Change can Happen
I’m here for you. To honor your story, connect the dots, create a meaningful plan, and hold you accountable.
Change can absolulety happen. I see it every day!
The one on one time and care that she gave me in our sessions was unlike any other physical therapy sessions I have experienced. Jennifer G.
At Remedy, I’m committed to partnering with you to meet your goals.
Never give up hope!
There’s always a remedy,
Melanie Connell PT, MPT, MTC, CHC
