Minerva W., PT, DPT

Location: Bay State Physical Therapy – Braintree

Graduate: Northeastern University

Minerva is originally from Old Chatham, NY and developed an eclectic work history before finding her passion for physical therapy. She earned her undergraduate degree in Studio Art from SUNY Geneseo in 2011, following graduation she briefly pursued an MFA, then skipped to work in hospitality, then over to providing logistics for a large defense contractor. After some soul-searching, she returned to school to pursue a DPT at Northeastern University, graduating in 2021. She is grateful for her varied experiences while in college and in the workforce and can alternately weld a steel sculpture, provision a navy ship, teach a swing dance lesson, or give a guided tour of the Berkshire’s cultural offerings.

Now she has found she is at her best when she is providing individualized patient care for orthopedic and pelvic floor patients. Her clinical experience includes both orthopedic outpatient clinics as well as time spent in the inpatient setting. In these settings she gained skills to treat patients of all ages and help them return to a life full of movement.
