Synergy Performance & Physical Therapy is Atlanta’s personalized, holistic, and integrative mobile physical therapy service. At the heart of Synergy is founder Dr. Melissa Kolazyk, PT. Growing up in a very active family, Melissa’s love for movement and fitness began at a very young age. Before she was even able to walk, Melissa was introduced to running while accompanying her dad on runs in the baby jogger. It is no surprise that Melissa became very active in soccer, tennis, and track and field during her elementary and middle school years. It is while competing year round in competitive soccer that Melissa experienced a chronic knee injury that prevented her from playing at the collegiate level and introduced her to physical therapy. She was immediately drawn to physical therapy due to its holistic, and “whole person” approach and the close interpersonal connection that the physical therapy profession lends.

Melissa’s clinical passion is orthopedics with a special interest in active populations of all ages. She has worked in pediatric sports medicine as well as treats athletes at b0th the collegiate and professional level. Her strength as a physical therapist is her ability to connect, empathize (and laugh!) with her patients. She loves the challenge of treating active individuals and recognizes how critical it is to address all aspects of health so that her patients can perform optimally. As a problem solver and good listener, Melissa has a history of discovering solutions to unresolved, persistent pain.
