Meghan Rietschel, MPT, PRPC

Meghan Rietschel, MPT, PRPC (she/her) originally from the heart of Packer country in Eastern Wisconsin, Meghan graduated from The College of St Scholastica in Duluth, MN in 2000 with her Master of Arts in Physical Therapy and relocated to the Twin Cities area. Initially, an orthopedic therapist, Meghan wanted nothing to do with pelvic health, nor knew much about it! After the birth of her own children, she developed pelvic pain and was on a quest to find a path of healing for herself and realized what a profound impact her pelvic health therapist had on getting her life back! These experiences opened her up to a whole new passion and dedication she never imagined that would also have such an impact on the patients she serves. She has been an advocate for pelvic health for all genders over the past several years.

Meghan has presented to several community groups, doctors’ groups, as well as other therapists on pelvic health treatment, differential diagnosis, and chronic pelvic pain. Additionally, she serves as a clinical instructor for DPT students and is on faculty for the MHealth Fairview Women’s Health Residency Program.

Meghan believes in educating and empowering patients to get better, live a more active and healthier lifestyle, and educate all on the importance of pelvic health.

Meghan is a Clinic Supervisor and Clinical Specialist at MHealth Fairview Sports and Physical Therapy in Fridley, MN. She primarily treats patients of all genders with chronic pelvic pain, incontinence, and complex colorectal conditions.

In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her husband, 3 kids, 2 dogs, quilting, camping, and being outdoors!
