I earned my Master of Science degree in Physical Therapy from Duke University in 1993 after receiving my Bachelors degree in Biology from Colby College in 1990. As a physical therapist, I have worked with a broad spectrum of adult clients in many different settings, including acute care, outpatient, home care, nursing home, assisted living and wellness facilities.

My clients range from those with orthopedic ailments to victims of stroke and other neurological conditions. I am also licensed as a massage therapist, and have found that by incorporating more customized manual therapy into my physical therapy sessions, I see even more dramatic effects in the results for my clients.

Melanie does an amazing job with the graston technique... I was 2 years with plantar fasciitis issues and was having trouble even walking without pain some days. The therapy helped me get back to my normal and exercising daily without trouble. I HIGHLY recommend Melanie!

I was recommended to Design Fitness by a friend in Hampden . I have been very happy with my treatment plan . Sonja gives me exercises to do , that I can also do at home . I hate stomach crunches, so I get other exercises that are much more comfortable/effective. Sonja listens to your needs, is knowledgeable and current on health issues.

I am skiing once again, thanks to Sonja Parker. I have recommended her practice to others who are equally pleased.

I can't say enough good about my care. I had total hip replacement and Sonia had me back on my feet in no time. She has the care, compassion and knowledge to do the job. I highly recommend her.

I have been going to Designing Fitness Physical Therapy for almost two years now and I have experienced wonderful results! Sonja Parker has worked extensively on my shoulder that had scar tissue from an ATV accident. Thanks to her efforts, I now have good range of motion and the constant stiffness in that area is gone. I also go to Sonja Parker for Theraputic Massage Therapy to relieve muscle pain from stress and the physical demands of my job. It seems miraculous to me that a one hour massage can relieve my pain for three days! My arthritis pain is also tremendously decreased... so much so that

Sonja Parker is a great physical therapist! She is professional and firm yet understanding and sympathetic. I worked with Sonja for several weeks after a hip replacement and am now able to resume my normal work activity without discomfort. I can honestly say that Sonja deserves a top rating!
