Renette Kirton, DPT
86006
An athletic scholarship in track and field took Renette Kirton, DPT, to the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) to compete at the college level while studying sports medicine. During her time as a college athlete, she developed a relationship with the coaching staff at UMCP — a relationship so strong she was compelled to continue with UMCP as an intern in sports medicine after finishing her college track career. With a heart for helping those recovering from sports injury, Renette decided to further her education in 2000 at Temple University, where she received her doctorate in physical therapy. Practicing as a physical therapist since 2004, Renette has special interests in general orthopedics, sports rehabilitation and a functional approach to therapy. She is trained in Kinesio® Taping and the Graston® (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) Technique. In her spare time, Renette enjoys playing volleyball, working out, watching sports and hanging out with friends and family. Traveling is also a passion (when she’s able to get away). She’s traveled to the Caribbean, Mexico and Egypt and hopes to make her way to Europe and the Mediterranean in the future.

Clarisse Labor, PT
85991
Clarisse Labor, PT, joined the AAMC orthopedic and sports medicine team in 2005. In her more than 15 years of experience, she’s worked in a variety of different settings, including acute care and home health, but her love has always been orthopedics. Clarisse is now able to live out that passion every day through acting as the site coordinator for the Bowie satellite office of Anne Arundel Comprehensive Outpatient Rehabilitation Center. Here, she treats orthopedic patients — from young athletes to patients who’ve undergone total joint replacement — and teaches monthly spine education classes. Born in Angola, Africa, Clarisse settled in the United States with her family at the age of 4. She grew up in Muncie, Ind., and then moved on to Cleveland State University where she was a four-year starter with the Division I volleyball team while earning her Bachelor’s degree in physical therapy. Her studies and experience have given her special expertise in treating the spine including manual and posture corrective techniques to address any spinal ailment. She’s certified in Upper Extremity Rehabilitation and has taken several continuing education classes. Clarisse has two elementary-school-aged children and an infant. Her children keep her busy with their sports and extra-curricular activities. When she’s able, she enjoys playing recreational volleyball, exercising and traveling with her husband and children.

Melissa Lambiasi, DPT
88311
Melissa Lambiasi, DPT, received a Bachelor of Science in Biology and has a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Maryland in Baltimore. Working now as a physical therapist at the Severna Park facility, she specializes in orthopedics and is enjoying making a change in patients’ lives. Helping them return to whatever is important to them — whether that’s walking the neighborhood, running a 5k, or dressing independently — is the most rewarding part of Melissa’s job. She takes a whole-body approach to physical therapy, knowing that unless she helps them address the cause of their pain, they won’t have long lasting relief. Since physical therapy is a way for patients to take responsibility for their own rehabilitation, Melissa likes to explain to each one that one percent of the work happens during their PT sessions, while the other 99 percent should happen at home. She sees herself as the patient’s guide on that path. And while she admits she can be tough, she smiles when she says that PT calls for ‘tough love.’ When Melissa isn’t treating patients, she likes to spend her time doing Crossfit, Olympic lifting, and hot yoga.
