We thoroughly evaluate the entire body's movement and interactions to find the root cause of your pain.

Fully Integrated Care from a Single Movement Expert

At Viya Physical Therapy, your recovery journey is entirely designed, monitored, and executed by a single, highly specialized clinician. Our founder and lead physical therapist brings a rare, comprehensive approach to the Troy community by combining advanced medical diagnostics with decades of hands-on healing. Holding a unique trifecta of professional credentials, Melissa operates as a licensed physical therapist, a licensed medical massage therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience, and a certified clinical Pilates instructor. This all-in-one integration ensures that your care is perfectly seamless—eliminating the gaps in communication that frequently happen when bouncing between multiple different clinics and providers.

A Comprehensive Approach: From Clinical PT to Deep Tissue Work

Whether you are seeking elite orthopedic physical therapy for a sports injury or specialized pelvic floor physical therapy for deep core health, your treatments are completely customized to your body’s immediate needs. Because of their extensive 20-year background in clinical bodywork, your physical therapy sessions can seamlessly introduce advanced manual therapy, pelvic-focused abdominal work, or specialized deep tissue massage to immediately target muscle trigger points and reduce neurological pain. Furthermore, they utilize specialized dry needling in conjunction with e-stim (electrical stimulation) to instantly down-regulate chronic pain and accelerate soft-tissue healing.

Bridging the Gap with Specialized Pelvic Floor Pilates

True recovery doesn’t end when your pain stops; it requires long-term functional conditioning. As a certified Pilates instructor, Melissa bridges the gap between injury rehabilitation and active fitness right here in our Downtown Troy office. She guides you directly through clinical reformer Pilates and specialized pelvic floor Pilates sessions, ensuring your exercise form is perfectly monitored through a strict medical lens. This ensures your spine, joints, and deep core are safely supported every step of the way, helping you reclaim absolute body confidence. Schedule your comprehensive clinical evaluation today to experience a smarter, fully unified way to heal.
