Dr. Molly McDonald- a Physical Therapist

My healthcare background began in 2001 when I became a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) while working towards my B.S. in Nutrition from University of Houston. Massage Therapy is one of the best careers in the world! Truly, who does not LOVE a massage. However, over several years, I found that people would return week after week or month after month with the same injury or pain.

 

I started to question why people would only have temporary relief and what was the actual origin of the pain. Then, just as I was finishing my degree, I was shown a Physical Therapy degree program that seemed to have many of the answers to my questions. I decided to make a bold move away from my hometown of Houston all the way to Boston, Massachusetts, where I completed my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Northeastern University in 2011.

 

Since then, I have worked as a Physical Therapist in multiple settings, from outpatient sports rehabilitation to skilled nursing facilities and Inpatient hospital. I have learned from each of these, but my heart has alway belonged to working with people to help them return to the recreational activities they love and to live their best life.

Prenatal and Postpartum:

It is important for women to stay physically active during and after pregnancy to reduce the negative effects.

Please check out the pregnancy page on this website for additional information on prenatal/postpartum.

Screening:

Sometimes it is hard to know if we have an injury or pain that requires a doctor, physical therapy, or just a little rest. Sometime we have pain, new or old, that occurs with recreational activities and we are not sure the pain will ever go away. A screening is a 20-minute, in-person consult, consisting of a physical exam and/or movement assessment to determine your best options going forward.

Phone consults are also available for general guidance.
