Dr. Amy was born and raised in Atlanta, GA. She has a Bachelor’s in Exercise and Sport Science from the University of Georgia and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Augusta University. She enjoys CrossFit, paddleboarding, trying hole-in-the-wall restaurants, and spending time with her husband and fur babies!

Testimonials

After having my baby, I couldn’t exercise without leakage problems. I had put off pelvic PT for a while because I was nervous about how the appointment would go. Dr. Amy made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I saw an immediate reduction in leakage! I’m so grateful to be able to do jumping jacks again and run around with my daughter without fear of peeing my pants.

I reached out to Dr. Amy a year and a half after my first child was born due to an annoyance that I’ve always been told was a “normal” part of motherhood—leakage (especially with exercise). Her approachability, kindness, and effective methods have taken me from embarrassed about my healing process (or lack thereof…), to empowered in understanding my pelvic floor, to literally wanting to shout on the rooftops “WHY HAS NO ONE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE?!” She’s even helped address some low back/hip issues that I didn’t realize were connected to my pelvic floor. Her guidance has helped get my body back in working order and has given me the knowledge on how to exercise properly. I’m much more confident in my workouts! I honestly wasn’t sure that my symptoms were severe enough to warrant PT, but I’m glad I didn’t downplay what was going on—my treatments have made a big difference. I really think every mom deserves to have PT like this! The way Dr. Amy has taught me to understand and care for my body has made it feel like “mine” again. Highly recommend!!

Dr. Amy and Dr. Nicole are magical humans and PTs. I came to Pelvic Prescription 2 years postpartum for diastasis recti that made my belly pooch out significantly and kept me from wearing certain clothes and performing certain workout movements. They listened to my end goal and worked from the ground up to heal my stomach. They gave me homework each week that brought me one step closer to my goals. When I told them what workouts I was doing they listened, they understood the movement, and then they watched me do the movement to make sure I was doing it safely while still healing my diastasis. If you have had a baby, are pregnant, or are going to have a baby go see them. They are so knowledgeable and caring!

Dr. Amy has changed my life! I really thought there was something wrong with me for so long because sex was so painful. Turns out my muscles are just terribly constricted. She has helped me immensely and educated me so much on the pelvic area and the muscles in that area. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She has helped me physically as well as teaching me relaxation techniques. If you have any issues pertaining to the pelvic or lower back area definitely give her a call. She’s such a wonderful person!!!

I went to Dr. Amy after several months of unbearable pelvic pain and pressure, and failed attempts of getting answers from multiple ER visits, urgent care visits, and even visiting with my gynecologist and urologist. From the first appointment, I was confident that Amy would help me not only reduce or eliminate my pain but help me figure out the causes for my discomfort. With each appointment, my pain levels reduced (started around 8-9 down to a 1-2)! My mind is blown with how helpful physical therapy has been with Amy, and she’s an incredible asset in the community. Highly highly recommend!

Working with Amy has given me my life back. I have had chronic back and hip pain that at my age (60), combined with weak pelvic floor muscles, had gotten to the point that I was not comfortable when out in public for fear of an embarrassing accident. Not a fan of drugs or surgery, I met Amy who through patience, exercise and physical therapy has given me the confidence to once again enjoy the things I love like yoga, biking, long walks and more! She is amazing and has taught me how to manage the problems I was having in ways that I am comfortable with. I am so glad I went this route and don’t think I would have seen such good results had it not been for Amy’s kind, thoughtful, and caring approach.

Seeing Amy has been absolutely life changing! How no doctor ever told me about a pelvic floor PT in 30 years of life blows my mind but I am so glad I found Amy when I did. Her knowledge and techniques have helped me not only in intimacy but also in going to the bathroom with ease and not dreading it, breathing deeper and having better cardio because of it as well as showing me how to do upkeep at home. During in-person sessions, Amy was professional, respectful and kept banter lighthearted making sure I was always comfortable. Pelvic floor PTs are not just for postpartum women but for everyone. If you are on the fence, just book the session! You will not regret it!

I have ridden horses all my life and as a kid I fell off a lot onto my tailbone. As I got older I had a lot of pain with urination and penetration of any kind. I had issues with going to the bathroom as well. These persisted for years and I just kind of accepted that it was a normal but unfortunate part of my life. But then I realized that I might benefit from trying pelvic floor physical therapy. I started working with Amy on my issues and now after the program I barely experience any of them anymore. Even if I have a flare-up from stress I now have the tools to deal with it super efficiently and eradicate the pain. Pelvic Prescription was absolutely life changing, it has opened my eyes to how much my pain was not normal and that there were definitely ways to fix it. My pelvic floor is stronger and more elastic now and it has helped me in so many ways. I have also found that the tools she introduced me to helped me with my weightlifting and even improved my horseback riding as well! It was so refreshing to be in an environment where such a socially neglected part of the body was spoken about so openly and healing was the number one priority. Five stars all around!

Dr. Amy has been an incredible support as I navigate post cesarean life. Prior to pelvic floor PT I was experiencing back and hip pain, wishing I could return to running and live an active life my toddler. Amy took the time and care to help me reconnect with my body, increase awareness, and strengthen muscles I had been neglecting. She has created such a warm, welcoming environment and I have always felt so cared for. As a mom, this has been the truest blessing! She tailors sessions to meet my needs and offers virtual appointments to assess movement in your daily life- kids welcome! I could not be more thankful for her support in finding renewed confidence in myself and pain free living.

After suffering with scar tissue complications from my C-section SIX YEARS AGO!!….. I finally have more relief than ever before. It used to be painful if my littlest would jump on me but after treatment with Dr. Amy and a bonus of the dry needling sessions, I had relief.

Amy’s compassion is amazing. I cried at the beginning of the session, but she gave me HOPE for success by the end. I want to thank you for your understanding, kindness, patience, and expertise. She was awesome to work with!

Dr. Amy has been a wonderful resource for me throughout postpartum journey. During our sessions she has helped me tune into my body and address numerous pelvic floor issues. By committing to her daily exercise recommendations I have seen much improvement. Not only has she clearly explained and guided me through therapy, she’s also a warm, encouraging coach who keeps me motivated.

I began seeing Amy to better prepare myself for child birth and postpartum. She gave me various exercises throughout my whole pregnancy to strengthen my pelvic floor. I’m finally towards the end, and she helped me go over breathing exercises and birthing positions. Amy is very informative, supportive, personable, and professional. I cannot recommend Amy enough to anyone who is pregnant or just gave birth.

I didn’t know what to expect. Amy was great. She explained everything in detail. She was genuinely concerned with helping ease the pain and finding a solution. I didn’t feel rushed. I left feeling relieved because someone was patient enough to listen and treat my pain.

I have many names for what Dr. Amy has meant to me, she’s been a “game changer,” an Angel sent from above, an answered prayer, & more! Dr. Amy is extremely patient and understanding when it comes to learning what her patients need help with. She has done a great job at creating a safe space and healthy environment, especially surrounding personal topics. She takes time to educate clients and listen well, which sadly, was a new experience for me. I’ve not had very good experiences with doctors in the past regarding pelvic issues. Dr. Amy beats the stigma that women can’t receive help with pelvic issues. Personally, she’s helped me realize that physical healing can bring healing in many other areas of our lives. ❤️‍
