About
I work with people who've tried everything for their pain but never found lasting results.
I know that no one wants to be in pain, and I’m here to help you finally get rid of it. I will look at your whole system to find what's been missed and determine what your body actually wants. The solutions you've tried likely weren't built for your body specifically, and that’s where my process shines.
Meet Meleah Murphy, PT, DPT
Hi, I'm Meleah, a nature seeker, explorer, lover of movement, drawn to wild places, and Doctor of Physical Therapy based in Edina, Minnesota. I am endlessly curious about the world around me and especially about the human body. That curiosity is what brought me to this work sixteen years ago, and it's what keeps me here.
My own body has been one of my greatest teachers.
About six years into my career, my hip had been hurting for a while, the kind of pain you work around, push through, manage. When I finally went to see someone, I was walked straight from the assessment room into a surgeon's office. Before anyone had really looked. Before anyone had asked what I wanted or what I was willing to try. I left that appointment feeling like my body had already been decided for me.
I wasn't ready to accept that. So I kept looking. I found other approaches, non-surgical paths, ways of working with my body instead of around it. And in the years that followed I completed several Ironmans and a few marathons. Not because everything was fixed, but because I was learning that there's a difference between pushing through and paying attention. That the body is capable of far more than we give it credit for, and that it also asks for things we don't always stop to hear.
That understanding shapes everything I do in the clinic.
My approach draws from sixteen years of clinical practice and advanced training in whole-system assessment and treatment, looking beyond muscles and mechanics to understand how everything in the body works together.
And when someone asks me what's going to help, I'll be honest. I don't always know yet. What I do know is that we won't find out until we look. So that's where we start.
