Dr. Melissa Benowitz, PT

Melissa earned her Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from High Point University in High Point, NC and went on to receive her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Gannon University in Erie, PA. She is a highly skilled physical therapist and comprehensively certified Pilates instructor through Polestar Pilates, specialized in the rehabilitation track. Melissa brings extensive experience in the outpatient orthopedic setting and utilizes Pilates based rehab principles to create individualized evidence based programs to optimize recovery and enhance performance.

Melissa's journey with Pilates started after traditional therapy methods failed her own pain and Pilates ignited a transformation that restored her body, strengthened her spirit, and awakened a newfound sense of empowerment. Melissa has wholeheartedly committed to bridging the gap between traditional physical therapy and mindful movement; empowering her patients to rediscover confidence, build inner resilience, and cultivate long-lasting vitality.

In her free time, you can find Melissa taking her dog on a walk, spending time with her friends and family, or reading a good book.
