Mammoth Physical Therapy is home to excellence in Sports Rehabilitation, with individualized treatment, movement quality and return to sport emphasis. I am a professional runner based in Mammoth and I've been working with Melissa at Mammoth Physio twice weekly for about 6 months to prepare for my racing season.
She's the best! I've worked with a ton of strength trainers/physios over the course of my career and Melissa is among the best in the country. Melissa has provided amazing rehab from injury as well as strength and conditioning! As a professional track and field athlete, high quality PT is so important.

Mellisa is terrific! I have been to several physical therapists over the years and Melissa is by far the best. With her guidance teaching me what to do on my own plus what she did to release muscles and joints in our sessions, and making sure I understood correct form when on my own, I have made tremendous progress in a very short time. I wish I lived in Mammoth full time so I could work with her more often. I will definitely see her again next spring for a “tune up”. If you live in Mammoth or spend a lot of time there and need PT you should definitely call Melissa!

I had a great experience seeing Melissa over 12 sessions. I tore my hip labrum while staying in Mammoth for the summer and was initially unable to walk slowly without pain.
Every time I saw Melissa I had immediate pain improvements that persisted longer and longer after each session (she essentially made sure my femur tracked in the socket and didn't impinge on my pelvis). I was still able to get outdoors and be active for our summer in Mammoth, and had a significantly improved quality of life when it came to my hip.

Melissa was the best physical therapist I've ever gone to (previously went to 2 others in the Bay Area). Melissa is very well-versed and effective at diagnosing the root causes of my interconnected body-aches and/or asymmetries.
I like having an active lifestyle across hiking, swimming, rock-climbing and she made me stronger at all 3, plus resolved an acute lower back-ache.
Before seeing Melissa, I had a chronic back-ache in my lower right side. (Made sitting in cars more than 1 hour painful). After 2.5 months of seeing Melissa, my back-ache is resolved, due to her accurate diagnostic and very

I suffered from a debilitating injury that required 4 major surgeries. Melissa has helped me come back from my last two surgeries. She is a great listener and knows exactly what I'm talking about when I describe my challenges with motion and pain. She provides excellent exercises that have allowed me to quite literally get back to my feet and doing the skiing, mountain biking, climbing, and running that I love to do. Would highly recommend Melissa, she is professional, skilled, and ultimately a great physical therapist who knows exactly what she is doing.

I've had eight orthopedic surgeries with a total of a handful of years of physical therapy for a variety of body parts, and Melissa reeeeally knows what she's doing. Her paradigm is amazing, she's an athlete herself, and her hands are magical. One of the many things she does great is how effectively and systematically she helps you wake up the muscle groups that were shut off because of the injury. She's a part of the reason I can now return to mountain sports stronger. Couldn't recommend her enough.

I've worked with a ton of strength trainers/physios over the course of my career and Melissa is among the best in the country. She's excellent at making specific training plans for each athlete and adapting to their needs. I needed middle distance specific strength work and she put in time to craft specialized programs for me. I watched myself improve quickly over our time together and now I am as strong as I've ever been

So grateful to have Melissa in Mammoth! It has been such a good experience working with her. She really takes the time to listen and understand where your body is weak and effectively shows you how to strengthen it. She is hands-on, which I really appreciate. Melissa also gives you great strengthening exercises, but doesn't overwhelm you with new ones each time. Scheduling on her website is super easy. I feel cared for each time I see her.

I contacted Mammoth PT after a shoulder injury while snowboarding. They were recommend by a local friend and I was able to get an appointment with Dr. Melissa within the week. After only a couple treatment sessions with Dr. Melissa my shoulder was feeling great! I was able to get on with life with no pain and full range of motion in my shoulder.
