About the practice
Back to Life Physical Therapy is owned and operated by Meghan and Brendan McDonough. We trained together in Boston, opened our practice in Marlton in 2004, and have spent two decades treating one patient at a time. Same therapist, every visit. Hour-long sessions. No aides, no rotating staff, no shared treatment floor.
Twenty years of one-on-one care, every visit.
Trained in a patient-centered graduate program. Four years in Boston, in outpatient orthopedics and Boston Children's Hospital, before opening Back to Life in 2004. Meghan treats the person in front of her, not the schedule on the wall.
Manual expertise, plus lymphedema therapy.
Physical therapist, Certified Lymphedema Therapist, and Meghan's husband and business partner. Brendan leads the manual-therapy side of the practice, meeting each patient with the time and attention to do the work properly.
Why we built it this way
Most clinics will book three or four patients into the same hour and pass each of them between aides. That model is faster for the clinic and worse for the patient. We chose the other way.
You will see the same doctor of physical therapy every single visit. Your treatment plan is built around your history, not a 15-minute insurance slot. That is what 20 years of practice has taught us, and it is the only way we want to work.
