Dr. Meghan Helwig, PT, DPT is a sought-after Doctor of Physical Therapy in Northern Colorado, known for her root-cause approach to pain, movement limitations, and performance optimization. With over 15 years of experience in orthopedic and sports physical therapy, she helps active individuals and athletes move better, feel stronger, and continue doing what they love with confidence.

Meghan founded Primal Strength Physical Therapy on the East Coast before expanding her practice to Southern California and, most recently, relocating to Northern Colorado with her husband and daughter to be closer to family. Practicing in diverse regions and performance-driven environments has shaped her highly individualized approach to care—one that blends orthopedic expertise, movement assessment, and performance-based rehabilitation.

Dr. Helwig earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from UMDNJ after completing a degree in Finance at Villanova University, where she was the starting goalie for all four years on the Division I Big East Field Hockey team. While working in New York City, she sustained an injury while training for a half-Ironman triathlon and experienced firsthand the impact of physical therapy—an experience that ultimately led her to change careers in 2006 and pursue the profession she is passionate about today.

As a lifelong athlete, Dr. Helwig understands both the physical and mental demands placed on the body. Her mission is to educate her clients, address the underlying drivers of pain and dysfunction, and help each individual unlock their full potential—whether that means returning to sport, improving performance, or simply moving through life with greater ease and resilience.
