Melinda Hurt, DPT

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

Best gym around! Great equipment, clean, good music. Melinda is the best!

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.

After a recent hip replacement, I connected with Dr. Melinda Hurt at Hurt & Co in Scarborough for Physical Therapy. I had previous experience with Melinda following 2 back surgeries. With a PhD and 14 years’ experience in Physical Therapy, she moved her practice to a new facility offering Physical Therapy, Massage Therapy, and a large Gym. The facility is bright and clean, with private rooms for therapy & massage, and Melinda is always on time with appointments. After 4 months of treatment and a home exercise and walking program, I am totally pain free for the first time in 10 years. I could not have achieved a pain free life without Melinda’s motivation and deep knowledge in her field. Melinda developed a therapy plan and continuously pushed me forward on the road to recovery. She developed a personalized and robust home exercise plan, which included both walking goals and exercises. I went from walking 5 minutes with a walker in my driveway, to 30 minutes within 4 months. My recovery included a 4-prong approach, with an hour of hands-on therapy with Melinda, a robust home exercise program, walking goals for weight bearing exercise, and use of the gym equipment for strength resistance training. What makes Hurt & Co stand out from other Practices, is that Melinda (and other Physical Therapists) spends a full hour with hands on treatment with each client. With most other Practices, the Physical Therapist usually spends 25-30 minutes with a client, then you work with a Physical Therapist Assistant or Aide to do exercises. This key difference is what makes Hurt & Co an exceptional value for your money. (No Insurance accepted).

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.

I came to Hurt & Co with chronic pain in my shoulders and back, that were impacting my daily life. Melinda took the time to discuss my concerns and symptoms. She helped relieve my pain using dry needling with stim, manual therapy and stretching. She did an excellent job of explaining the underlying issues and teaching me specific exercises to strengthen my core and improve my posture. She continues to evaluate my symptoms, identify the issues and provides me with a plan of action to become a pain-free, stronger person. At Hurt & Co you are not just another patient, you get the one-on-one attention that you deserve, from a provider that truly cares.

My quality of life has improved since working with Melinda and Power Hour. Wonderful experience and encouragement from all the staff at Hurt & Co. I highly recommend this gym.
