Helping Active Women Move Without Limitations.

Orthopedic + Pelvic Health + Performance

Whole-body physical therapy for active women who want to move, train, and perform with confidence

Meet Dr. Melinda Elder

I specialize in the intersection of orthopedic, pelvic health, and performance care.

Too often, women are sent down one lane — orthopedic care for their hips, back, or injuries, and pelvic health care for leaking, pressure, pregnancy, or postpartum symptoms. But your body doesn't work in separate lanes.

I help active women understand the whole picture and build the strength, movement, and confidence to get back to what they love.
