Dr. Meghan Mahar, PT

Baltimore County, Maryland & Howard County, Maryland

As a Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist, Dr Meghan Mahar enjoys treating clients with a variety of orthopedic injuries. She prides herself on focusing on the whole person and encouraging better overall health. She graduated from Virginia Tech with a Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Science and Biology. She then graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2005 with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Dr Mahar is a Certified Manual Trigger Point Therapist and is licensed to safely provide dry needling treatments to a variety of body parts in order to help combat acute or chronic pain. She finds this treatment can be especially advantageous for stubborn trigger points in the neck and back that have not responded to more conservative strategies. She has been with Baker Rehab Group since 2017 after taking a break from years of managing a busy clinic and enjoys finding ways to bring her skills from the clinic into the home to help promote a faster recovery. She relishes in seeing patients recover from Total Hip and Knee Replacements in a matter of weeks rather than months using early weight bearing strategies. In her spare time, Meghan can be found walking, running, cycling, or even roller skating with her family. She also enjoys home renovation projects and has been a vegetarian for over 20 years. She tries to encourage not only her clients, but her family and friends to choose a healthy lifestyle.
