Melinda Hurt, DPT
Owner, Physical Therapist
Dr. Melinda Hurt is founder of Hurt & Co. She has a passion for life and inspiring others. Melinda achieved her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of New England and has a Bachelor’s in Psychology.
She has 13 years of experience helping people achieve their goals at all levels of movement and fitness. She practices advanced manual skills including Mulligan, Maitland and McKenzie techniques, McConnell taping, dry needling, and she is ASTYM certified.
She excels at strength training and analysis of lifting mechanics. She will teach you how to keep training while rehabbing an injury. She also performs vestibular rehabilitation, balance training, and running/gait analysis.
In her spare time, Melinda is an avid powerlifter and has competed in the Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic. When she isn’t hitting the weights in the gym you can find her paddle boarding, swimming, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. She prefers walks over hikes and loves animals, especially cats.
What their clients are saying
Great gym with everything you’d need for powerlifting or general fitness. Plenty of squat racks and stands, benches, deadlfit platforms and calibrated plates with a handful of really cool machines. Have seen both Dr hurt and also Dr Jess for physical therapy as well and they have done a great job assessing my injuries and helping me get back to normal. Would recommend to anyone but especially a lifter/barbell athlete.

I started going to Melinda for a lower back injury when she was part of SoPo Physical Therapy, and continue to see her today at her new location in Scarborough (Hurt & Co). No matter what I do to my body, Melinda fixes me and keeps me operating pain-free. Beyond being an amazing human, she is a fantastic physical therapist. She listens intently, takes thorough notes, and keeps close tabs on how I'm progressing. I always look forward to our sessions, and I love that they're an hour long and 1:1—not in a crowded room with lots of other patients. I can't imagine going to another physical therapist—I highly recommend Melinda and Hurt & Co!

Excellent facility with qualified, caring, and capable providers. Great gym facility here too, with sauna. Kim does amazing PT work, and I’ve heard Melinda has taken great care of my family members. Top notch facility and staff, great communication.

The absolute BEST physical therapy practice in Southern Maine! Melinda is smart and knowledgeable. She engages the client in all aspects of treatment and followup care. She takes the necessary time to explain, in detail, the issue, the treatment, the followup. She has a great sense of humor -- a bonus!! She puts her client at ease; explains all aspects of the procedure and engages in concerned follow up. I wish I had had the benefit of the information she provided in our session 50 years ago!! I HIGHLY recommend this physical therapy practice.

Dr Hurt has treated shoulder pain, muscle tears in my forearm, and an abdominal muscle injury with great success so she was the obvious choice of a PT for both pre hab and rehab post surgery for a ruptured ACL earlier this year. My surgeon has been impressed with my rapid recovery, regaining strength and mobility faster than is typical after my type of procedure. I’m very active and regaining that athleticism needed to hike, climb and lift at the same level as pre surgery has been the goal. I’ve been very encouraged and am already climbing at a higher level than I was pre surgery at only 12 weeks out. There’s a few factors that go into that, of course, but a lot of the credit goes to an effect and efficient rehab plan put together by Dr Hurt and her team. She knows strength training better than any PT I’ve seen and that makes a real difference when working with active clients. Highly recommend!!!

This place is so wonderful. Melinda and the Hurt and Co team are the only ones that were able to fix my pain from a herniated disk after almost two years of doctors telling me that I just had to sit and wait. Dr Hurt was amazing and kind. Would never go anywhere else.

Grateful to have Hurt & Co. caring for my family's needs! From keeping my teenage dancer healthy through preventative care, mitigating various pains for my husband and I. I have been to PT many times in my life and have never received the quality care that I receive from Melinda & Jess anywhere else. Also loving the new gym and not feeling like I'm fighting to claim territory during my workouts.

I have worked with many PT’s over the years to address chronic pain and Melinda is bar none the best! I have entered her office in abject pain and left filled with relief and hope.
