Dr. Maureen Watkins, PT, DPT, OCS, MBA, LMT, cert MSK US

Dr. Maureen Watkins is a highly experienced physical therapist with over 30 years of clinical practice, bringing exceptional depth, precision, and thoughtful care to her work at Private Care Therapies. She is known for her ability to treat the whole person, not just a diagnosis, through individualized, one-on-one care that adapts to each client’s medical history, goals, and lived experience.

Maureen works primarily with older adults, post-operative clients, and individuals with medically complex conditions who want to remain active, independent, and confident at home. Her approach emphasizes restoring function while also supporting the mental and emotional aspects of recovery, recognizing that progress is shaped by far more than physical symptoms alone.

As a clinician with advanced training in orthopedic physical therapy, manual therapy, and massage therapy, Maureen skillfully integrates hands-on techniques as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, never as a standalone service. She also utilizes instrument-assisted soft tissue techniques and is trained in musculoskeletal ultrasound, which she uses to support clinical decision-making, movement retraining, and client education. This allows clients to better understand their bodies and actively participate in their recovery.

Maureen is deeply collaborative by nature. She frequently coordinates care with family members, caregivers, and other professionals involved in a client’s support system, helping ensure continuity, clarity, and shared goals across the care team. Her extensive experience allows her to anticipate challenges, adapt treatment plans thoughtfully, and guide clients through complex recoveries with confidence and calm.

At the heart of Maureen’s work is the belief that people deserve care that is unrushed, responsive, and truly individualized. At Private Care Therapies, she values the ability to provide care that is not constrained by arbitrary limits, allowing clients to receive the time, attention, and expertise they need to make meaningful progress. Clients often describe Maureen as steady, knowledgeable, and deeply invested in their success. She brings both clinical excellence and quiet reassurance to every session, helping clients move forward with greater strength, clarity, and trust in their bodies.

At Private Care Therapies, Dr. Watkins provides personalized, in-home physical therapy that blends advanced clinical skill with a holistic, client-centered approach, always tailored to the individual and the life they want to continue living.
