Shortridge Physical Therapy

Physical Therapist

After eleven years of hands-on client treatment, Dr. Melanie Shortridge opened Shortridge Physical Therapy in 2015 to provide the highest quality treatment for both chronic and acute pain.

Dr. Melanie takes a hands-on approach to treating pain. First, she listens to her patients describe their pain and its history. Then she observes their movement patterns and manually manipulates the area to better understand the source of their problem. Through this comprehensive process, she can establish the best program of treatment. Read more

    Melanie is fantastic. She gets right to the problem not just symptoms. She is full of knowledge and knows what she is doing. She gives homework to continue the healing process. Works great with my husband too. And he is a hard one to sell. Very happy with services provided.

    I had an amazing massage here. It was easy to schedule, easy to park and easy to find -- which are all critical on my checklist when I just need to relax and de-stress. My massage therapist was Mera and she was awesome! I could tell she's been doing this for a while because she was very professional and I immediately felt at ease by her energy. She used perfect pressure and knew exactly which muscles needed extra time. I'll admit -- I have slouchy posture so my shoulders/neck need a little extra TLC. One of my favorite things that she did was stretch my hips and arms too. I will definitely be back here to get a massage by Mera.

    I've been seeing Mera for monthly massages for a few years and she is amazing!! As a hair stylist I'm putting a lot of wear and tear on my body and she's the one that gets me back in order and able to continue doing my job without the tightness and pain. She does a great deep tissue massage and that is still relaxing. By far the best!!

    This place is GREAT, talk about a one stop shop for all my wellness needs. I recently received a massage by Mera! She was absolutely wonderful, I can really tell she loves what she does. She listen to all my issues, which is ALOT! She put together a massage that focused on all my requests with a flow that kept me in a relaxed state. Being a body worker myself it's rare that I'm able to let go and enjoy a treatment for the first time. So thank you Mera, I'll be seeing you again. I definitely recommend Mera and Shortridge PT!

    ... After getting to know Melanie better, I can say she has a good sense of humor, doesn't push you past what you can take and just seems to want the best for you at whatever pace you can handle. She is determined to fix you up. ...

    And it is way affordable. While I am there I have asked about other random things like my wonky pain in the shoulder or tense neck and she checked those out and gave me a good idea what is up with them.

    You don't have to live with pain or discomfort - she can fix you. She works on dogs too.
