Health & fitness is my passion! The ability to help my community maintain their overall well-being and heal current or chronic injuries is very rewarding.
The BEST part in my profession is seeing the results from weight loss to decreased pain and increased range of motion. A referral is the BEST compliment you could ever give me. I'm grateful that people trust me to help them with their health and wellness goals!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Hello!
At this time, unfortunately, I am not accepting new clients for in-home therapy services. Due to the recent increase in COVID-19 variant cases it is my responsibility as a practitioner to keep myself, current clients and everyone safe.
However, if you'd like to schedule to come to my on-site location you may do so by contacting me @ 512-698-0746 via text so that we may collect your name & email along with a requested specific date & time to schedule your therapy session through our online healthcare portal.
Thank you again for considering Aligned Physiotherapy for your alternative healthcare.
Regards,
Melissa
