Dr. Melia is a physical therapist, Pilates instructor, and founder of MovePhysioFit. Her areas of expertise include: manual therapy, movement and biomechanical analysis, postural re-training, injury prevention, strength training, and Pilates. She has a special interest in working with women prenatal and postpartum, and those with movement disorders/Parkinson’s disease.
As a clinician, her passion for helping others stems from personal experience as an injured dancer often in physical therapy. She gained an understanding of the impact of injury, and brings that to each patient interaction. Her approach is that of achieving quality movement patterns from a holistic view. She integrates the principles of Pilates into treatment to rehab from injury, develop functional strength, or achieve fitness/wellness goals. Whether a weekend warrior, new mom, competitive athlete, or performing artist, she strives to get patients back doing the things they love. Kathleen lives in Vienna, VA with her husband and two boys.
