Get to Know Imelda
Imelda McGettigan, Physical Therapist
Imelda McGettigan has over 30 years of experience providing patients with hands-on, individualized treatment in a one-on-one setting. An avid problem-solver, she is passionate about working through each patient’s unique case to help them achieve their goals and return to the everyday activities.
Imelda earned her degree in Physiotherapy from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, in 1990. She is certified in The McKenzie Method® Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), the International Schroth 3D Scoliosis Therapy, and Graston Technique. Through MDT, Imelda incorporates specific patient-based exercises and education to accelerate recovery. Her Schroth certification enables her to conservatively manage scoliosis and postural issues such as kyphosis through corrections and movement strategies.
Imelda has experience across a broad range of patient populations. Her primary areas of specialty include manual therapy, orthopedic physical therapy, spinal rehabilitation, management of osteoporosis, and the treatment of headaches. Imelda is an active member of both the American Physical Therapy Association and the Irish Physiotherapy Association.
When not working with patients, Imelda enjoys playing tennis and pickleball, going on long walks with her dog, Odie, and spending time with her two-college aged children.
"While other PTs had only focused on my head and neck, Imelda quickly understood that my scoliosis was connected to my migraines and her treatment plan was comprehensive. Working with her has drastically improved my quality of life and my pain management. "

"[Imelda] was the first PT that I felt genuinely listened to my concerns and was fully committed to my recovery.

“What sets Imelda apart is her rare combination of razor-sharp diagnostic acumen and an almost detective-like ability to uncover the true root cause of a problem. Most clinicians treat the symptom or the referral diagnosis; Imelda relentlessly pursues the why.”
