WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING
"I highly recommend Melissa as a Physical Therapist. My oldest daughter was a dancer and really appreciated that Melissa understood the heart and mind of an athlete. She helped her through her injury and also helped strengthen muscles so that she would not repeat the injury. My other daughter is a swimmer and again Melissa helped strengthen muscles so she could swim without pain. Both of the girls appreciated how she would listen to them and ask questions to really understand and would explain things to them. When I broke my leg I appreciated how patient and kind Melissa was. My only goals were to walk and garden without pain and
I can do that!
We appreciate that she can work with a wide range of issues and types of people and can get the results each need.

"I have been a Registered Nurse for 30 years and with persistent neck and shoulder pain. I was referred to Melissa by another physical therapist for dry needling and further shoulder evaluation. Her approach to my care was phenomenal! She explained every step along the way and the rationale. All aspects of her care are patient oriented. Her critical thinking skills are superior. Melissa helped me gain strength, range of motion and decrease in my pain. I contacted her immediately after a traumatic fall that complicated my shoulder issue. She was an exceptional resource for me due to years of experience,
knowledge and wisdom.
I would recommend Melissa for any
physical therapy needs.
I give her 5 stars!! Well done Melissa!"

"Melissa is a highly skilled PT who provides exceptional care!
After suffering from 15 years of chronic neck pain and getting minimal to no relief with other clinicians, Melissa was able to get me the pain relief I needed to resume an active lifestyle of being a mom and hobby rancher. With Melissa's help, I'm finally able to carry around my daughter and 5 gallon water buckets without pain. As a PT myself, I have worked with all kinds of therapists, but I can honestly say Melissa has one of the biggest hearts for caring for patients.
I would recommend Melissa to anyone requiring PT services and feel better knowing she is only a phone call away if I'm ever again in need."

"Melissa has treated several of our family members over the years including myself. My kids have seen her for running injuries and Melissa is amazing at digging deeper to find where the issue is coming from and not just treating it superficially. She has also treated me for several hip/back issues and she has been able to get me back to a place where I can keep active.
I highly recommend Melissa for physical therapy!"

"Melissa Warders is amazing! I went to her with severe pain. After a complete analysis she methodically walked me back to being pain free. She prescribed exercises, watched me do them to make sure they were done correctly - even sent diagrams so I wouldn’t forget. I went back to Melissa for help with sciatica, frozen shoulder and foot issues. She gave me the best care, listened to my concerns, changed course when necessary and helped me recover. I would not hesitate to seek her help for any PT issue!!"

Melissa is an absolutely fabulous therapist. She really listens to you about the physical issues you are having and creates an individual program to meet your needs. I have had all kinds of different problems throughout the years and Melissa has helped me through them all! If you put in the work, Melissa is the one to help you find relief! (My husband and son have also been treated by Melissa and would give her 5 stars as well).

-Mary
"Melissa has treated me for several years. Each time I have an injury, she treats me with care and patience. She has used standard physical therapy, stretches, exercises and dry needling to treat me. She goes the extra mile to be sure she understands the underlying issue and is willing to try multiple approaches if needed. I highly recommend Melissa."

-Julie
"I recommend Melissa without hesitation. Despite having surgery, I continued to experience low back pain. Melissa’s therapy consisted of exercises, stretching and deep tissue work. Her knowledge, care and compassion brought me back from a very low point in my life. I highly recommend Melissa!"
​
-Sue
"Melissa has been my Physical Therapist for several years. She has always worked with great professionalism. Very knowledgeable in her field and communicates everything so clearly. Melissa listens well to your concerns and knows just what Physical Therapy/exercises can help the different issues that come up. It’s very evident she cares about helping her patients."

-Barb
"Melissa is wonderful to work with! She has helped me with numerous lower leg, lower back, and hip issues related to
running injuries.
Melissa was able to locate and correct a hip flexor issue within 4-6 weeks of dry needling.
I had previously been to 4 doctors (2 sports, 1 general, and 1 hip specialist), a sports chiropractor, had multiple injections, and multiple MRIs over 8 months with no relief.
She is kind, caring, knowledgeable, and honest.
I appreciate that she is an avid cyclist and enjoys an active lifestyle; she can absolutely relate to the misery of not being able to get out there.
I would send my family and friends to Melissa, she is now my first call when I have any issues!"

"I am so thankful I found Melissa! I suddenly and unexpectedly found myself with severe sciatic pain to the point I couldn't sit or climb into bed without crying. As a mom of three young children, it was very difficult to do normal activities with them.
I was trapped in pain.
My doctor recommended we start with physical therapy since I was unable to have an MRI because of an existing condition.
Melissa listened attentively to my history and took the time to put together a plan that would work for me.
I started seeing results almost immediately from dry needling, deep tissue massage, and traction.
I began to get back to normal life.
Melissa was also excellent in demonstrating exercises and stretches to help relieve my pain between appointments with her.
The Open Range Physical Therapy model was also very convenient for me. Melissa was able to come to my house so I didn't have to find a babysitter or drag my kids to my appointments.
Communication and scheduling is a breeze and I couldn't be happier."

"I had a hamstring issue that I had been dealing with for over 3 years and had tried what I thought was everything, but nothing helped. I got referred to Melissa and in just a handful of sessions she was able to get me back to running, and other normal activity I hadn’t been able to do for a long time! She was knowledgeable and explained the process so I wasn’t confused. She worked through a plan for me to follow at home in between sessions and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I trust her with any issues I have, and would 100% recommend her to anyone!"

"Melissa has treated me for almost 2 years now and has done wonders for my degenerative disc issues. She has performed dry needling procedures that have worked remarkably well for the locked muscles in my neck and back. She is a magician with the deep tissue therapy and diagnosing what treatment will work for you."

-David
"I had the privilege to have Melissa as my Physical Therapist after my 4th back surgery.. Melissa was amazing! She’s definitely not a “one size fits all” therapist. She looks at your personal needs and strengths, even family dynamics to know if you’re capable to achieve the personalized plan both of you have discussed. As you should know Physical Therapy is not only when you see your therapist but it is a want and desire -daily lifestyle change to get better. Melissa definitely gives you the want and encouragement to achieve your goals."
-Jo
"Melissa and her team do an amazing job assessing your needs and creating a plan to make you feel better quick! They are knowledgeable, timely and willing to spend quality time with you to ensure understanding and follow through. I depend on Melissa to keep me feeling good to ensure I can continue to do the activities I enjoy doing. I highly recommend her and the team."
