GET TO KNOW
MEGAN
The best part of my job is the genuine relationships built with patients and their families after caring for them in a time of pain or injury. I hope to connect with each patient and help them learn how to take care of their bodies from childhood to adulthood and the importance of fitness.
I like to call the PT gym “the fun room” and always try to find a way to make exercise enjoyable through games or banter. I enjoy the puzzle of finding out exactly how to get a patient’s “buy-in” regardless of whether it is a bubbly environment, a diagram of anatomical structures or just someone that will listen to their concerns and help them through a difficult time."
WHAT ARE YOU FAMOUS FOR AT CTPO?
My constant smile, calling everyone “sunshine” and my not so great stick figure drawing on exercise sheets.
FAVORITE THING TO DO OUTSIDE OF WORK
I love baking and decorating cookies, building things with my hands, renovating reclaimed items, beach volleyball and being outside hiking with my husband, two kids and two dogs.

FUNNIEST MOMENT
There are numerous occasions when young patient attempt to perform an exercise and have passed gas. We laugh it off.
MOST HEARTWARMING MOMENT
When you get that email from a previous patient who was so inspired by the time we spent together, they have chosen to pursue and have been accepted to PT school.
