Who We Are

About Good Life Physical Therapy

Good Life Physical Therapy exists because everyone deserves to have a good life.

Most patients arrive to physical therapy because something is going wrong.  They are injured or in pain or unable to do something they used to be able to do with ease.  Our work at Good Life is to help you find and make more prominent and more possible the good feelings and good times.

The connection of our mental and emotional wellbeing to the health and comfort of our bodies is impossible to ignore – especially when you find yourself in pain.  At Good Life Physical Therapy we know that the work of caring for our physical selves can and will improve our overall quality of life.

The goal of each session is to improve your comfort.  The goal of your entire treatment with us is to make sure you have a good life for years to come.  If you come to physical therapy for a quick tune up or as an ongoing part of your self care, we are here for you.

For some patients learning how to run with a more involved core can relieve back pain and allow years more time on trails and tracks.  Perhaps you’ve lost the joy you once had in your work because you have back, wrist, or head pain when you’re at your desk; fixing alignment issues and learning techniques to sit and work better and longer could bring positivity back to your profession.  For some patients careful and thorough reviews of options when considering joint replacement surgery and preparing for the best recovery possible if surgery is the chosen option are the key to their good life.  Maybe establishing a daily stretching routine that fits with your schedule and in your home will help decrease the number of headaches you have over the course of your days. 

Every physical therapy office can address acute injury – and we do that, too.  Not every physical therapy office is dedicated to your well being for years to come in every aspect of your life.

Meet Dr. Myriah C. Pahl, PT, DPT, RYT

Dr. Myriah Pahl is deeply passionate about helping people heal with the power of their own bodies. She never ceases to be amazed by the transformations that can take place with the care and attention of hands-on physical therapy treatments. She is committed to combining her years of experience with empathy & a soft approach to address her patients’ chronic pain, postural imbalances, and acute injuries and to help explore and resolve physical discomforts.

Dr. Myriah is a positive force in helping her patients set and achieve their own personal health and wellness goals. Individualized one-on-one treatments and a holistic approach to patient care are cornerstones of her practice. She brings attention to alignment, control, soft tissue restrictions, and the mind-body connection in treatment sessions. Her treatments are designed to be lighthearted and enjoyable.

Myriah received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) from The Graduate Center and Hunter College, City University of New York. She has a Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree from Eugene Lang College, The New School. She keeps up her journey of lifelong learning with regular continuing education. She has taken courses in Manual Treatment Techniques for Headaches, Myofascial Release, Pelvic Health and Pelvic Floor Treatment, Visceral Mobilization, Sacroiliac Joint and Lumbopelvic Spine Manual Treatment, and Back Education and Training.

When not treating patients Myriah can be found backpacking on the side of remote mountains, thinking about the next elaborate meal she’s going to cook, or trying not to laugh while falling out of “wounded peacock” pose during a yoga class. She has developed her language of movement through a lifetime of training and exploration in Yoga, Pilates, trampoline, trapeze, gymnastics, and circus arts.
