The Broadway PT Team
Dr. Megan Wise, PT, DPT
Founder & Head Physical Therapist
Dr. Megan Wise is not just a Physical Therapist! She’s a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher, and a Certified Life Coach. As a dancer and performer of 20+ years, she struggled with multiple injuries and chronic pain, and she uses this first-hand knowledge to educate performers, teachers, parents, directors, and choreographers.
In short, she chose to become the PT she couldn't find when she desperately needed one. Megan has worked with 45+ Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, multiple professional dance companies, and freelance performers and arts workers across New York and the country. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband (who is also a PT) and their rescue dog Gizmo and enjoys cooking, breweries, and seeing a great show!
