Meet your coach
Dr. Michelle Nowicki
PT, DPT, CSCS
Physical therapist, strength coach, and movement specialist dedicated to getting you back to what you love — and keeping you there.
The philosophy behind Pressure Built
Dr. Michelle Nowicki founded Pressure Built PT with a single conviction: physical therapy should actually work. Not just manage symptoms, not just get you through the door and out again — but genuinely solve the problem and build you back stronger than before.
With over 12 years of clinical experience spanning orthopedics, sports performance, and post-surgical rehabilitation, Michelle brings a rare combination of hands-on manual therapy expertise and evidence-based strength training principles to every patient she treats.
Her cash-based practice model exists by design. By working outside the insurance system, she can spend the time each patient actually wants/needs — full 30 min or one-hour sessions, consistent care with the same provider, and a treatment plan built around your goals rather than a billing code. HSA/FSA is accepted and superbills can be provided for OON reimbursement for hour long PT sessions.
I built this practice because I believe every patient deserves a provider who actually has time to listen, assess, and coach.
