Melana Tysowsky, PT, DPT

I'm a doctor of physical therapy with a specialty in high-risk infants. I strive to be family-centered and work closely with caregivers and their children. I try to overcome barriers or challenges specific to the patient and family's situation to achieve their physical therapy goals.

Through my love of dance, I knew I wanted to become a physical therapist to help patients thrive through movement. I love working with children because it is empowering to help a family learn how to support their child's development. I also find it rewarding to see the joy and excitement when children learn a new skill and can explore their environment for the first time.

I am part of the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Core Team at Cincinnati Children's. I serve as a physical therapist in the Infant Motor Evaluation Clinic. I am passionate about the early detection and diagnosis of neuro-motor disorders as it can improve outcomes for children and their families.
