Amy Kennedy, PT, DPT

Prior to becoming a physical therapist, Amy spent eighteen years in the marketing field. During that time, some life-changing events occurred including having two children (who are adults now), losing their father to cancer in 2007, and losing her job in the marketing. This forced her to “look at life” and pursue a new career. With her family’s support, she was able to go to graduate school and address some of her personal health problems. Amy had a uterine prolapse or pelvic organ prolapse (POP) that she developed after the birth of her daughter in 2004. Amy attended pelvic floor physical therapy in 2012 that corrected her prolapse and the urinary incontinence that had come with it. Amy now specializes in women’s health and pelvic floor physical therapy and credits her personal experience and knowledge with being so successful treating pelvic floor conditions such as prolapse, incontinence, pain, and constipation. Amy shares, “Pelvic floor therapy can address many conditions that many people are unaware of such as pain in abdomen or pelvic area, scar tissue management, and bladder and bowel problems, pain with intercourse.” Amy is originally from Cupertino (Silicon Valley), California and moved to Michigan in 1999. Now remarried, she lives in Fenton.
