Dr. Melanie Rae Seeley
Dr. Melanie Rae Seeley has dedicated nearly three decades to helping individuals of all ages restore function, overcome physical challenges, and improve their quality of life through personalized, evidence-based physical therapy.
She earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology with concentrations in Molecular Biology and In Vitro Cell Biotechnology before completing her Master of Physical Therapy at Old Dominion University in 1997. Driven by a passion for lifelong learning, she later earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where her doctoral work focused on evidence-based, nonpharmacological approaches to chronic pain through pain neuroscience and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).
Throughout her career, Dr. Seeley has maintained an equally balanced practice in orthopedic rehabilitation and neurodevelopmental rehabilitation, caring for infants, children, and adults with orthopedic injuries, neurologic conditions, developmental disabilities, chronic pain, and complex medical needs. This breadth of experience has shaped her clinical reasoning and deepened her understanding of how the nervous system influences movement, function, and recovery across the lifespan.
Her advanced training includes manual therapy, dry needling, myofascial release, visceral manipulation, adult and pediatric craniosacral therapy, pediatric sensory integration, yoga, and Pilates. She integrates these disciplines with current evidence and individualized clinical reasoning to create highly personalized plans of care.
Dr. Seeley has had the privilege of serving clients in Hawaii, New York City, and now throughout the Lake Norman region of North Carolina. Through Pranamix, she continues to provide concierge physical therapy that combines clinical excellence with compassionate, individualized care.
