My name is Hayley Abell. I have just moved from Columbus, GA, where I was born and raised. I graduated from the University of Georgia with a B.S. in Exercise and Sports Science and Georgia Southern University with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I specialize in pelvic floor rehabilitation and orthopedics/ sports medicine. I am also dry needling certified.
New to the Huntsville area, I am excited to explore all the things. I enjoy CrossFit, cooking, and spending time outdoors. You'll find me watching Georgia football on Saturdays in the fall (Go Dawgs!). I geek out on Harry Potter and Game of Thrones, and I can't wait for hiking and camping with my dog, Remi.
My passion is women's health. I'm adamant that you deserve the best care, and I look forward to being with you every step of the way. I want to use what I know to help you perform at your best. Let's get to work!

Megan Miller, a native of Huntsville, joined Johnson and Hayes Physical Therapists in 2012 because of the compassionate and friendly staff she met, and the "small town" feel when patients entered the clinic. Through school and internships, she found that patient-focused care rendered the best outcomes and desired to work in a PT-owned clinic that allowed PTs to treat their patients through their full recovery. Growing up, Megan enjoyed helping others and found Human Anatomy and Physiology to be her favorite High school class. A career in Physical therapy has allowed her to pair these two together, with each patient presenting unique problems that keep her on her toes.
Megan graduated from UA Huntsville with a Bachelors in Biological Sciences with an Exercise Physiology Minor. She earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine after graduating with High honors. Since 2012, Megan has completed continuing education towards earning a Manual Therapy certification.

In her spare time, Megan enjoys traveling, cheering on her Vols/Packers/Predators/Trash Pandas, and spending time with her husband Larry, and kids- Callie and Landon.
