I believe that YOUR child is perfect and will make an incredible impact in the world.

Let's help YOUR child Bloom together!

Hello there! I'm Melissa Howard.

Nice to meet you, I am glad you are here. I am a Pediatric Physical Therapist who is ready to help your child tackle their next goal and maximize their potential.

Do you feel like it's hard to have hope sometimes? I've been there too! I was born with a rare GI malformation and had several surgeries both as a baby and again as a teen. I understand what it’s like to struggle to do the things you love and what it’s like to need hope. I can identify and would love to walk with you.

I've seen therapy done in a lot of ways. Finding the right approach matters! My unique treatment approach is based on the realization that every patient is different and therefore requires the use of many different therapeutic tools. You will find that I use a hands-on approach with a high intensity to challenge patients and meet their goals. 

I hope that through Bloom for all, I can help you have more peace of mind and help your child reach their next goal. I believe every child deserves to confidently explore the world.

I received my Doctor of Physical Therapy from Texas Tech University Health Science Center in 2011. I am board certified as a Neurologic Specialist and in Neurodevelopmental Treatment.  I have had the privilege of teaching at Texas Woman’s University Physical Therapy school, Gaza, Palestine, the Cerebral Palsy Annual Academy, and APTA sections at Pediatrics Conference.

I absolutely love getting to work with kids and parents, just like you, every day! But, there's more to me than a physical therapist - I love getting time with Jesus each day, being outside in nature, spending time with friends and being in the kitchen!

Hi, I am Ashley!

Nice to meet you and I am so glad you are here. I am a Pediatric Physical Therapist who is ready to partner with and empower you to support your child in their growth and development.

Life can be hard and often leaves us feeling like we aren't sure which path to take. I know I have been there. Physical Therapy is a second career for me. And while I took a couple of turns here and there, once I made the decision to pursue a career in pediatric PT, I finally felt I was where I was supposed to be.

Finding the right fit for your child is key. I hope that through Bloom for all, I can help you have more peace of mind and help your child reach and tackle their next goal. If you asked me what my favorite thing in this world to do was, I would say "explore and experience." This is why I am so passionate about pediatric physical therapy. I believe every child deserves to confidently explore their world.

I received my Doctor of Physical Therapy from The University of Texas Medical Branch in 2017. I have worked in pediatrics my entire career in a variety of settings which helps me bring a unique approach. Most recently, I have pursued continued certification and specialization in Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI). I am currently a DMI Intro Level B certified therapist. I am able to incorporate these techniques into my sessions to assist patients and families in reaching their goals.

Getting to celebrate successes big and small with families brings so much joy to my life! But, there's more to me than being a physical therapist. Outside of the clinic you can find me training for my next triathlon, loving on my dog, growing in the church, exploring with my husband, chatting with my family, and trying to find the balance of eating well and indulging!
