Magic Meghan

As her patients call her

Human PT Expertise.
Canine Application.

Veterinary rehabilitation therapy applies the same evidence-based physical therapy principles used with human patients to animals — primarily dogs. As a licensed physical therapist with advanced orthopedic and manual therapy credentials, Dr. Meghan brings a depth of clinical knowledge to canine rehabilitation that goes beyond standard veterinary care.

Her CCRT (Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist) certification required rigorous additional training in animal anatomy, biomechanics, and rehabilitation protocols — building on her existing foundation in orthopedics, manual therapy, and movement science to deliver genuinely specialized care for your pet.

They Know They're
Going to Feel Better

There's something that happens when Dr. Meghan walks into a room with a canine patient. The anxiety settles. The tail starts moving. The dog that was guarded and uncomfortable begins to relax — because on some level, they know what's coming feels good.

This isn't something you can teach in a certification course. It's a genuine gift for connecting with animals that runs alongside every clinical skill Dr. Meghan brings to her veterinary patients. Her canine clients look forward to their sessions — and their owners notice the difference in their dog's movement, energy, and happiness between visits.

Because your pet can't tell you how they feel. But Dr. Meghan can read it — and help.
