About Us

After spending 13 years working within traditional Physical Therapy, Founder Melissa Buffer Trenouth, MSPT, sought to create a Physical Therapy practice devoted to filling a deep void in the dense rehab world; individualized treatment without the bells and whistles. With that goal in mind, Buffer Trenouth was created and curated to provide patients with a full body synthesis anchored in centering the physical body with the brain’s natural intentions.

At Buffer Trenouth, the team of Physical Therapists begin a patient's care with a deliberate full hour of manual, hands-on techniques and exercise-based movements. Hands-on intervention is followed up with specifically prescribed movements and exercises to keep tissues from rebounding and allow strength and flexibility to stick better to the body. Providing movement and functional awareness guidance between sessions creates sustainable work and leads to ultimately “fixing” the problems. 

The Buffer Trenouth team works with their patients to curate custom goals and treatment is always kept fluid to accommodate daily changes. You are treated as your entire body.

With whole body care in mind, the team is passionate about getting to the root of the problem, even if the root itself is not exactly where the pain exists. Addressing pain is easy, figuring out the root cause of the pain is the challenge. This is where the Buffer Trenouth Physical Therapy team excels.
