Dr. Marissa Stahl

PT, DPT
Pediatric Physical Therapist

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health and Rehabilitation Science with a minor in Exercise Science from the University of Pittsburgh, graduating magna cum laude. Two weeks later, I relocated to South Florida to pursue my Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Nova Southeastern University.

With over 10 years of experience in physical therapy, I have built a comprehensive clinical foundation through work in acute and orthopedic settings, as well as extensive experience in medically fragile pediatric environments. This diverse background allows me to manage complex cases with precision while delivering individualized, evidence-based care.

My passion for movement and rehabilitation is rooted in a lifelong love of sports, having played four different sports while growing up. This background, combined with my clinical experience, allows me to provide compassionate, individualized, and goal-oriented care to patients of all ages. By blending sports medicine principles with advanced pediatric rehabilitation, I focus on optimizing movement, performance, and functional independence—helping children with a wide range of conditions achieve their fullest potential.

Specialization:

I am a pediatric physical therapist who specializes in helping infants, children, and adolescents improve movement, strength, balance, and overall functional mobility. I treat a wide range of conditions, including developmental delays, genetic and neuromuscular conditions, orthopedic injuries, gait abnormalities, torticollis, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, and autism spectrum disorders. I also support children with gross motor delays, toe walking, coordination difficulties, and post-surgical or injury recovery. My goal is to provide individualized, play-based therapy that helps each child reach their fullest potential while supporting families every step of the way.
