Dr. Chantal Manigat, PT, DPT is a physical therapist at Jackson Health Systems, specializing in acute care and inpatient rehab. She obtained her doctorate in Physical Therapy from Florida International University in July 2018. Dr. Manigat’s clinical focus includes treating patients with functional and mobility impairments, with a special interest in pelvic floor dysfunctions, traumatic brain injuries, stroke, and neurological deficits.

In 2022, Dr. Manigat recognized a need and created a weekly group called “Coping With Change” for patients struggling with their recovery. This group, conducted in collaboration with the Recreation Therapist, provides a safe space for patients to express their frustrations and fears while learning practical ways to adjust to their new normal and prepare for discharge from the hospital. Additionally, Dr. Manigat conducts educational groups on fall prevention, particularly targeting the elderly population, to reduce the risk of falls and readmissions.

Outside of her professional commitments, Dr. Manigat enjoys traveling the world and spending time with her toddler and nieces.
