DR MEREDITH NOTHEL, PT, DPT, PCES
Pelvic Floor | Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapist
Dr. Meredith knew she wanted to become a physical therapist after experiencing PT herself as a high school athlete. With a lifelong love of exercise and movement, she was drawn to the idea of using those same tools to help people recover, feel stronger, and get back to doing the things they love.
Dr. Meredith earned both her Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Physical Therapy degrees from Ithaca College. She has extensive experience in outpatient orthopedics and pelvic health, treating patients with a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries, post-operative conditions, running and sports-related injuries, and pelvic floor concerns. Her approach combines hands-on treatment, therapeutic exercise, and movement-based rehabilitation to create individualized plans for each patient. Dr. Meredith has also completed advanced pelvic health training through Herman & Wallace and is a certified Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES).
Prior to joining Rehab It, Dr. Meredith spent several years at a leading outpatient physical therapy practice in Manhattan, where she quickly grew into leadership roles—advancing from Staff Physical Therapist to Assistant Clinical Director and ultimately Clinical Director. In addition to treating patients, she mentored other clinicians and helped lead a high-volume multidisciplinary practice. Her experience has shaped an approach to care that is individualized, evidence-based, and focused on helping patients move with confidence and return to the activities they love.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Meredith loves running, exercising, walking, reading, and checking out new restaurants and bars. She’s also been drinking matcha since long before it was trendy and spent five months living and studying abroad in Australia. Dr. Meredith is excited to bring her experience and passion for health, wellness, and movement to the Stamford and Greenwich communities.
