Maranda Solesby, BA, DPT
Perinatal and Pediatric Physical Therapy

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I’m passionate about supporting people through every stage of life with care that’s personal, practical, and empowering. I earned both my Bachelor's degree in Athletic Training and my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Western Carolina University.

​

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a wide range of patients, but I’ve developed a special passion for serving mothers and their children. While this has always been a part of my practice, I’ve recently focused more intentionally on meeting this important community need—supporting women through the physical demands of pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and motherhood.

​

As a wife and mother of two, I understand firsthand the unique challenges that come with caring for yourself while caring for your family. My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive space where every patient feels seen, heard, and empowered in their health journey.

​

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll most likely find me spending time outdoors or enjoying quality time with my family.
