Founder · Doctor of Physical Therapy
Dr. Shana Blackman, DPT
Personal care, built around your goals.
Dr. Shana Blackman is the founder of MyPT. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse and completed her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee in 2011. She became certified in Trigger Point Dry Needling through IAOM in 2016.
Shana created MyPT around a personal and professional belief: just as you know your doctor and dentist, you should know your physical therapist. She believes patients deserve focused time and attention that make it possible to address issues before pain, injury, or surgery interrupts the things they love.
