Hi, I am Amy Harrington, PT and I am so happy you are here. I am a Physical Therapist specializing in Women’s health. I have been practicing Women’s health PT for 20 years. It is my passion to self empower women and spread awareness and assistance to overcome pelvic floor dysfunction and pain.
As a child I suffered from urinary stress incontinence. There was not any treatment options for me growing up. Little did I know that this embarrassing problem I suffered with as a child would one day lead me to empowering women to improve their pelvic floor function. It wasn’t until I was in Physical Therapy school that I realized that there were these amazing muscles called your pelvic floor. Discovering these muscles changed my life.
I immediately started taking pelvic health classes as soon as I graduated from PT school. My treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction also led me into the field of physical therapy for pregnancy and postpartum rehabilitation. Many of the women I treated for incontinence would tell me their pain or urinary leakage began in pregnancy. I furthered my education to include treating pregnancy and postpartum pain and weakness related symptoms. I love working with pregnancy and postpartum patients on prevention of pelvic floor dysfunction and pain. I work with patients who are experiencing pelvic pain and who have overly tight pelvic floor or abdominal muscles that are contributing to their pain. I like to incorporate specific yoga poses to help address tightness in hips and pelvis that can contribute to pain. I love designing exercises and rehab programs for women with urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse symptoms, and pre and post pelvic surgeries.
When I am not working I love outdoor adventures, yoga, and spending time with my wonderful husband and kids
