No stranger to chronic pain myself, I experienced chronic back pain for more than 20 years due to childhood skiing accident. My relentless pursuit to heal my own symptoms led me to discover the John F. Barnes Method of Myofascial Release. After just 3 sessions, I experienced the amazing relief that traditional medicine and therapies failed to give me. I have since become one of the very few Doctors of Physical Therapy in Wisconsin to gain the prestigious Advanced Myofascial Release (MFR) Practitioner designation through the John F. Barnes Institute. It is my passion to help others just like me who have suffered with chronic pain symptoms. My rare ability to integrate Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Physical Therapy with the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Method allow my patients to achieve astounding results despite the failure of other approaches.

Women’s Pelvic Health, Chronic Pain, Spine, John F. Barnes Myofascial Release, Sports Medicine and Orthopedics
I began my career conquering the Sports Medicine & Orthopedics world however always felt I was missing something with my chronic pain and spine/pelvic dysfunction patients. Unfortunately, many of these patients would often lose hope as the traditional medical system continued to fail them. Due to my husband’s own journey and some amazing mentors, I realized what was missing; John Barnes’ Myofascial Release and a solid foundation in pelvic health (both of which are left out with traditional PT schooling).
I’ve spent the past several years pursuing Advanced Trainings and Specialties in these areas. I’m proud to now be recognized as one of the few Doctors of Physical Therapy in WI to be certified at the “Advanced” level of the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release Method along with Women’s Pelvic Health & Spine/Orthopedic/Sports Medicine Specialties. My rare ability to combine these advanced skills into a whole-body approach allows my patients to achieve long-lasting improvement even when other approaches have failed. I’m passionate about helping my patients address those missing pieces and returning to truly living & enjoying the life they were meant to live.

Dr. Megan Wiley, PT, DPT
Specialties: Women’s Pelvic Health (Urinary Leakage, Prolapse, Pelvic Pain) and Postpartum Care, Orthopedics: Back/Hip/Neck/Shoulder Pain, John F. Barnes’ Myofascial Release, Women’s Wellness and Weight Loss, Runners and Endurance Athletes, Vestibular Rehabilitation (Dizziness & Vertigo)
After the birth of my third child, I thought I knew everything I needed to do to get back to feeling normal again. I was wrong. Despite feeling I had a solid plan, I came down with several injuries and other common postpartum issues from doing too much too soon and doing things the wrong way. I knew I wasn’t alone with feeling embarrassed, frustrated and disheartened and thinking I would never get back to where I was. I decided to dive into the world of women’s health and was completely blown away by how powerful, inspiring and necessary this work is and have become passionate about delivering exceptional care to women wherever they are on their journey.
As a physical therapist, my primary goal is to empower my patients to discover their body‘s innate ability to heal and to help them gain the strength and confidence to live their true self while leading a healthy and physically active life. Whether it’s playing with their grandkids, recovering from a challenging birth or tackling their first triathlon, I am here to help guide my patients on their healing journey so they can focus on the things that matter most to them.
I believe strongly in holistic whole body care and the importance of harmony with mind, body and spirit for optimal health and I integrate a full-body approach to my treatments. My advanced manual therapy trainings include John F. Barnes Myofascial Release and Functional Manual Therapy. Additionally, I have advanced certifications in Postpartum Corrective Exercise and Functional Movement training. I interweave my evidence-based, traditional Doctorate of Physical Therapy orthopedic knowledge with my strong manual therapy skills, Women’s Health and pelvic floor treatments, breathwork and functional movement training together to help my patients feel better and learn how to move correctly to prevent future injuries. This unique, full-body approach helps bridge the gap between a short term, partial fix versus truly healing.
