“I met Lana through my trainer at ZenSport in Sewell. After injuring my knee cycling in the MS City to Shore ride, my trainer recommended I make an appointment with Lana. She took a lot of time and care, assessed my injury and gave me tips on how to improve my form and strengthen the rest of my body for future rides. She shared her recommendations with my trainer and now my routine is more focused on back strengthening and lower body workouts. She was so friendly and knowledgeable, I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Dr. Lana goes beyond the typical model of what a physical therapist does. I called her because I was concerned after my daughter was discharged from physical therapy to return to play soccer and she was having flare up pain and unable to fully play to her previous capabilities. Dr. Lana came out to our house to evaluate my daughter and took so much time videoing her and teaching her exactly what she was doing, how to improve that and why.

She was so patient and explained everything so clearly. She was meticulous in her plan of care and teaching, and built in a plan for set-backs, which helped reduce discouragement. Slowly, my daughter was able to get stronger and play without pain. She is still being seen by Dr. Lana (video conferencing) as they tweak the way she runs, cuts and lands, etc., so that she can play the game she loves and remain injury-free. I am a nurse, and I understand how important someone like Dr. Lana is. She cares about her clients and develops a one-on-one relationship that fosters trust and buy-in. I’m so thankful for her patience and expertise. I highly recommend her!”

“Dr. Lana is a fantastic blend of physical therapist and performance coach. In only a few sessions, she was able to rehab my daughter’s patella tendinitis so she could get back to the high demands of club soccer without pain. Not only did the therapy resolve the tendinitis, but Lana also analyzed and corrected my daughter’s running technique  so that the tendinitis hasn’t returned in the 5 months since.

Lana used video analysis and her knowledge of proper running to correct imbalances and overuse of certain muscles, so now my daughter’s running is more fluid and natural. The difference in the before and after videos of her running were amazing. All this was accomplished in only 6 sessions in our home.

I highly recommend Dr. Lana for recoverty therapy and also to help prevent future injuries.”

“Thank you for doing this. I’m learning so much about improving my biomechanics. You made training fun and my kids loved exercising with mom.”

“The video and explanation are excellent in pointing out the trouble areas and proper techniques needed. I’m definitely recommending this screening to the other athletes I coach.”

“Dr. Lana is an exceptional physical therapist! I was treated at a well-known therapy center for about 10 weeks with a different therapist. One day my usual therapist was out and Dr. Lana was taking care of me. I knew my routine of the exercises to do, but during each review, Lana readjusted how I was doing the exercise. She explained that the idea was to do the exercise with the right muscles and not worry about the range of motion. I could not believe how good I felt after this one session and with significantly less pain! Lana then changed to another physical therapy center and I followed her there. I worked with Lana for nearly one year in therapy. She is very attentive and truly cares about her patients. I am a RN and did not realize how a good therapist can make such a significant difference. Any time I need therapy, I will be working with Dr. Lana!”

“I injured myself trying out CrossFit. I had been in a great deal of pain for the better part of 3 years with Achilles tendonitis; I had tried everything, PRP therapy, going to well-known physical therapists, MRIs, X-rays, the list goes on.

I figured all was lost and that this was life from here on out. Then I met Dr. Lana, figuring this was ‘just another physical therapist,’ my hopes were not high. Boy, was I wrong. It’s been six visits, and I’m running again! Albeit a little slow, but I’m pacing myself. I can honestly say if it were not for her sincere interest in getting me back to 100%, and her motivation to help people, I would not be where I am today.

I HIGHLY recommend anyone to her, she’s giving me my life back, pain-free!!!”

“I wanted to take a moment to write about the wonderful experience I had with Dr. Svetlana Mellein, DPT. My left hip had been bothering me for years. By 2014 it had become a quality of life issue for me. I was 50 years old and miserable. I had a total hip replacement and went to Dr. Mellein for physical therapy. I should have prefaced with the fact that I am not the type of person who usually writes reviews, but I just feel compelled to write about the amazing treatment I received from Dr. Mellein.

I had physical therapy before. I had hurt my shoulder about a year prior to my hip replacement and the therapist I went to seemed disinterested. I was a number to him, not a patient. The level of treatment was minimal. The results were adequate. Working with Dr. Mellein was a completely different experience. I truly felt we worked together as a team.

She asked questions, explored my expectations and then developed a plan of treatment that was perfectly suited for me to reach my goals. It was NOT always easy. I didn’t expect it would be. Dr. Mellein challenged me, pushed me, coached and cheered me—all the while making sure that my form was perfect and that my rehabilitation was safe.

As a result of Dr. Mellein’s care and treatment I have full and pain free use of my hip. I am engaged again in the daily activities of my life. But there is something more I would like to share. As I mentioned, I was 50 years old and the pain in my hip was bad. I couldn’t help but to think that father time was sending me a message and I can tell you that it was very depressing.

For me, Dr. Mellein’s therapy healed both my hip and my psyche. For anyone in need of physical therapy, I implore you to contact Dr. Mellein. She is intelligent, caring, and highly skilled. She will be your teammate in recovery.”
