ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Ginger Morrissey

Every day people consult Ginger Morrissey looking for answers to questions about back pain at work, back pain with household chores, even back pain with transitioning from sit to stand. Many people have back pain that prevents them from participating in sports that they love and it leads to a sedentary lifestyle.

The longer people are sedentary the more fear they have of moving. Ginger is a Fellow of Orthopedics and has helped countless numbers of people with back pain return to their normal lifestyle including tennis and golf.

Ginger Morrissey is one of Charlotte’s leading physical therapists who helps adults and athletes return to the activities they love without pain medications, injections, or surgery.   She graduated with a degree in Physical Therapy from The University of Oklahoma in 1997.  She has completed numerous post-graduate courses in manual therapy.  She completed a Fellowship in Manual Orthopedics in 2008 with emphasis on the Spine so that she could provide a more advanced service for helping people return to normal movement.  In 2014, she completed her certification in Trigger Point Dry Needling (CMTPT).  This specialized training resulted in her being more thorough and efficient in treating muscles and fascia, the root cause of their back pain.  With more than 20 years of experience, she has worked in numerous clinical settings and treated thousands of people with back pain.​

In her spare time Ginger enjoys spending time with her family, running, playing tennis, scuba diving and doing things in the great outdoors.
