Meet Meredith

Dr. Meredith H. Perny PT, DPT, OCS, TPS


Meredith Hershey Perny has been a practicing PT since 2007. She is a Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Orthopedic Physical Therapy (OCS) and a Therapeutic Pain Specialist (TPS).

Meredith approaches each patient as a unique individual and develops a detailed treatment program that relies heavily on empowering each patient to understand and care for themselves.

Meredith addresses root causes and attains sustainable, healthy results that are not possible in a high-volume clinic. You will feel listened to, empowered, and confident after treatment.

Meredith likes to utilize resources from her diverse background as manual therapist, educator, athlete, yogi, teacher, and coach to create unique, effective programs that heal and empower her patients to maintain long-term health.

In addition to treating patients, Meredith serves as the Ethics Chair for APTA Delaware and serves as an advisor to the Wellness Committee (CWIL) at The Independence School. She also served on the Pain Special Interest Group of the Orthopedic Section of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) from 2021-2024. She currently proudly serves on the Board for Sam’s KIDS.

Personally, she is the proud mom of 3 amazing boys, and enjoys everything outdoors shared with family and friends from gardening to running, yoga, racquet sports and more.
