Dr. Molly Scannell, PT, DPT

Dr. Molly Scannell is a highly skilled physical therapist with over a decade of experience caring for individuals with complex medical conditions. At Private Care Therapies, she brings a thoughtful, direct, and deeply compassionate approach, helping clients navigate recovery, mobility, and overall well-being with care that is both comprehensive and personalized.

Molly’s clinical background is rooted in acute care, where she spent more than 10 years working in a Level 1 teaching hospital, primarily in intensive care and high-acuity settings. This experience shaped her ability to manage complex medical presentations, understand the interplay between multiple body systems, and confidently support clients with nuanced and evolving needs. Today, she brings that same level of clinical insight into the home, where care can be more individualized, proactive, and responsive.

At Private Care Therapies, Molly works with clients across a wide range of conditions, including neurologic, vestibular, orthopedic, and medically complex cases. She is particularly valued for her ability to quickly assess the full picture, looking beyond a single diagnosis to understand how mobility, balance, environment, and overall health shape each client’s daily life.

Molly is known for her direct communication style and ability to build trust quickly, creating strong therapeutic relationships that support meaningful progress. She believes every individual deserves thoughtful, respectful, and high-quality care, regardless of their background or medical complexity. Her approach is grounded in meeting clients where they are, while helping them move toward where they want to be.

She has a growing clinical interest in pelvic health and pelvic floor therapy, inspired by both personal experience and a recognition that this area of care is often underserved. Molly is actively pursuing advanced training in this specialty, with a focus on supporting individuals, particularly during and after pregnancy, through education, recovery, and long-term wellness.

At the core of Molly’s work is a commitment to treating the whole person. She is passionate about addressing not only physical impairments, but also the broader barriers that can impact access to care, dignity, and quality of life. Her clients often describe her as attentive, honest, and deeply invested in helping them feel seen, supported, and capable.

At Private Care Therapies, Molly provides personalized, in-home physical therapy designed to adapt to each individual’s needs, goals, and environment.
