Get To Know Your Workshop Host
Hi, I’m Roxanne Meldrum – an Amherst, NH physical therapist with a passion for helping busy people live more active lives.
I have years of experience as a physical therapist working to address a wide variety of orthopedic injuries in patients of all ages. I started PT Health Academy to offer a novel approach to care, emphasizing patient education in proper body mechanics to prevent common injuries.
I believe the power of physical therapy comes not only from hands-on patient services, but from giving individuals the knowledge they need to take better care of themselves. I’m committed to helping more people stay active, move more and feel better.
