Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Amy Newberry. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Amy, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?

My biggest risk has been starting my own pelvic health physical therapy practice only 2 years out of school in a new city where I didn’t know anyone! I found myself in a place where the type of pelvic health physical therapist I wanted to be was not possible. In that moment, I decided I needed to make a change, so I purchased a treatment table, some gloves, and lube and began a concierge, mobile pelvic PT practice out of my small crossover car- and if it didn’t work, I would move back to my hometown and get another PT job. Fast forward 2.5 years, and we have grown into a multi-room space with three full-time team members with the same mission and vision. Although there is a huge risk everyday, the reward far outweighs it. Our team gets the opportunity to change the lives of hundreds of women by empowering each one in their pelvic health and providing a premium type of care to help these women live their lives fully again without fear or worry.

Amy, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

We help women overcome leakage and pain throughout their lives. 1 in 3 women will have some type of pelvic floor dysfunction i.e. leakage, pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis or ab separation, constipation, pain with intercourse, and hip/back/pelvic pain. All of these conditions (and more!) are treatable through pelvic health physical therapy. It’s a common misconception that once a woman has a baby, she will have these issues, but although these issues are common, they are NOT normal. Another common misconception is that only women who have had babies need this type of therapy, which is incorrect. Women who have not had babies, children, AND men have pelvic floor muscles too and may need pelvic health physical therapy as well.

We are so proud of every person who has the courage to reach out to a pelvic health physical therapist for help. These issues are embarrassing and frustrating, and I know it takes massive courage.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

Pelvic health has historically been a taboo topic. Our brand helps to create a relatable, fun, and “nothing it TMI” approach when educating and talking about pelvic health. I feel that this has helped build our reputation in our community as the practice that embraces pelvic health conversations and allows clients and followers to feel at ease and more open about topics such as peeing, pooping, and sex! We also have a giant vulva costume we will wear around town at different events that has become iconic.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

We give tons of accessible information to our community and create meaningful connections locally, which has really helped simply get the word out that we exist. Being involved in our community allows us to have more exposure in order to further educate and empower women in their pelvic health. We are constantly putting out information on Instagram, Youtube, and Facebook to reach more women and impact more lives!
