Meet Beth

Beth started Complete OMPT in 2023 in hopes of providing a higher tier of physical therapy. She graduated from Wayne State University with her Doctorate in 2016 and went on to do a residency with Beaumont (now Corewell Health) where she was trained in the ICU, emergency room, acute care, inpatient rehab, and outpatient settings. She found a passion for orthopedics and a special love for neurological conditions. 

She went on to complete another residency, this time in Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy (OMPT) at Oakland University. This 2 year residency focused on all the joints in the body, including in the spine. She learned to use her hands to assess, mobilize, and manipulate joints and muscle tissues. She gained a deeper understanding of spine pathology. 

Outpatient orthopedics has been the primary focus of her career, but she has a love for inpatient rehab (IPR) and working with patients with neurological conditions through big life changes. She has a passion for teaching and had the privilege of returning to alma matter as a teaching assistant for some time. 

After becoming a mom to a preemie, she spent time learning more about pediatrics, taking CEUs that focused on supporting developmental milestones. And, during her second pregnancy started taking CEUs focused on supporting pregnant and postpartum women. After experiencing pregnancy complications, she became passionate about helping other women have optimal outcomes in their own pregnancies. She became a certified pelvic floor PT and PCES certified Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist and Level 2 Herman & Wallce Practitioner. She is helping to develop inpatient antenatal programs. There are gaps in our medical system, particularly when it comes to women's health and she is excited to help bridge these gaps. 

Why Your Back Hurts and What You Can Do About It - Core Exercise Solutions  Dr. Beth Henigan DPT, OMPT, PCES

Beth's interest in therapy started at a young age when she observed her great-grandmother's decline from ALS. The profound impact of such a diagnosis on a patient and their family has stuck with her in her professional life. It has kept neurological conditions and inpatient rehab in a special place in her heart. It can be frustrating having a condition that improves slowly or does not go away, but insurance benefits that do not provide enough support. 

Growing up, she swam competitively, did martial arts, and played soccer. She understands the pressures of getting back to the sports and how to balance it with injury prevention. Her husband played college hockey and she has enjoyed gaining experience treating hockey players. She loves to run and lift weights; she has fully returned to these activities after the births of her two children and understands firsthand how important proper pressure management and posture are for success. 

She and her husband love to travel--especially to backpack and rock climb. She loves helping patients set and work toward their goals. Observing movement and breaking down an activity are key in making tailored treatment plans to get back to what we love. She's a movement nerd and loves a good clinical puzzle.
