Traveling to Kenya

Dr. Amy Konvalin | December 27, 2018

I recently returned from a two week teaching trip in Kenya. I volunteer with a program that teaches Physiotherapists in Kenya hands on skills and clinical problem solving. So, what was I doing there? This trip I was able to go into the clinic with the Physiotherapists and treat patients. This is a great opportunityRead More…

Dr. Amy is exceptional! She continuously helps me with my chronic back and shoulder pains. She take time to listen, treats the discomfort and tries to find the cause! If you are looking for a professional, clean PT place, check out Physical Therapy for everyBODY, your body will thank you!

What would you do to feel 10 years younger? I had no idea that would be the result. My first experience with Dr. Amy started with achy hips and foot pain. It is all connected. I went from walking like a stiff 'older' lady after my morning to commute to walking 10 years younger once my tailbone and foot arch were aligned in combination with a set of exercises to keep the muscles and tendons from backsliding. Since then, when I have had unique foot / back issues or injuries, I know that I need to see Dr. Amy. She is able to diagnose my unique body cues in the first visit through observation and questions. Over a few weeks, I have added custom designed exercises and stretches resulting in much less pain and increased mobility. By the time my treatment is done, I can self care through my daily maintenance program. Again, what would you do to feel 10 years younger?

Amy spent an hour with me on each visit. I never felt rushed because she focused on me and my injury for that entire hour. After a few visits I felt much better and the exercises she gave me to do at home helped me continue the healing process. I highly recommend!

Received excellent prenatal care before my third baby was born. Delivery and recovery was better than other pregnancies thanks to my PT!

Dr. Amy is amazing! I've had back issues since having my second child which also resulted in the tightness going up my back and to my shoulders. I had been to other physical therapist with little improvement. Dr. Amy was able to help relieve my lower back and shoulder pain. So happy to have her in our community. I would highly recommend Physical Therapy for EveryBODY!

Thank you Dr. Amy, you are Amazing. I've had chronic back issues for years and have been to countless doctors, chrios, and physical therapist with no avail. She has taught me proper stretching and strength training and I've been free of week long "back outs" for the last 3 years. I highly recommend Physical Therapy for Everybody!

I went to see Dr. Konvalin after dealing with low to mid back pain for over 6 weeks. My typical solution was to take ibuprofen and wait it out but after 6 weeks without being able to work out or run it was time to have it looked at. After her evaluation she came up with a treatment plan that quickly reduced the pain and gradually got me back to regular workouts. I’m now pain free and back to my regular mix of basketball, strength training, running – and or course yard work. I’ve been through physical therapy in the past for my lower back but I appreciate how she takes a more holistic approach and provided me with tools I can use to help stay active and mobile.

I suffer from some pretty bad back issues. I am also an athlete who competes on American Ninja Warrior which requires a lot of back engagement so I have a definite need to keep my back as loose and healthy as possible. During the course of the last year my back issues flared up to the point where my S1 nerve had pressure on it which caused me to lose some feeling in the posterior side of my left foot. It has also caused me to lose some flexibility (both of which are crucial in the sport). I have had to completely revamp how I train because of this.I decided to give cupping therapy a try after winning a free session. I will try anything once too see if it can help keep me loose, and hey Michael Phelps did it before winning a bunch of gold medals in the Olympics so it can be that bad right? Before we started, Dr. Amy had me explain my issues so she could come up with a "plan-of-attack" so to speak. She then began with the cupping treatment. If you are unfamiliar with cupping (like I was) I would say it's almost like "reverse" massage. Massage focuses on pushing down to work your trigger points, where as cupping pulls them out. It felt really strange at first, but once I relaxed it felt awesome.Once we had finished the cupping, I tested my flexibility in the clinic and had an immediate and very noticeable improvement. I am not sure if the long term loosening of my back from cupping is any better then a deep massage yet, but the problem I find with massage therapy is you get therapists that know what they're doing and ones that don't. You also have to work the spots in a specific way and I require a lot of pressure as my back becomes cement during my peak training months. I often get poor results from massage, unless I get a really strong and experienced therapist. The cupping therapy seemed like a more reliable method to hit those spots correctly as the cups do the heavy lifting.With that said Dr. Amy knew exactly where to put the cups, how to move them around to work the problem areas and how long to leave them to get the correct results. She also prepped my back for the cupping with some massage work so you definitely still need an experienced person to perform cupping. The point I want to make is that she didn't have to rely on strength and force to work the build ups in my back. Massage is also very painful when done correctly IMO. Cupping was painless which was a nice change of pace.I definitely recommend checking this place out if you are experiencing similar issues and looking for relief. Dr. Amy provides a litany of other therapy services besides cupping so check her out. She is very knowledgeable and personable.Will definitely return on my training rest days.

I saw Dr. Amy for a foot injury from running. After going to the doctor and being told to "stay off of it" and/or wear a boot as it was a possible stress fracture, I decided to see Dr. Amy. I knew she was a runner herself and an expert in her field based on years of study, training, and experience. I saw her for 8 sessions. I was running again before the 8th session. She has gifted hands that can feel what you don't even know is there! She also gets to the root of the problem which is often not at the place of injury. She gave me exercises to do at home to strengthen my foot and other weak muscles/areas that had contributed to the injury. That was 2 years ago, and I haven't had any problems since then! I highly recommend Physical Therapy for EveryBODY, especially if you are an athlete!

I've struggled with chronic pain all my life due to a connective tissue disorder — and things took a tougher turn after having children. Because I injure so easily, many practitioners didn't know how to help me. But when I was referred to Amy, things began to change. She instinctively creates exercises that are robust enough to stabilize and strengthen my body, but gentle enough to avoid putting me back into chronic spasm and pain. For the first time in many years, I feel like pain-free days are a possibility. I can't thank her enough — I encourage anyone dealing with chronic pain to see Amy for their treatment, even if you've been frustrated by your efforts to get well in the past. You'll be in good hands (literally!).
