Presented by Abby Inman, PT, DPT
Abby Inman has been specializing in pelvic/women’s health PT since her third year of PT school. She has loved seeing the explosion of the specialty, and has really settled into pregnancy, birth, optimal postpartum recovery as her own niche. Abby teaches a childbirth class education class called “Labor like a Rockstar” and attends births as a labor support person. She passionately believes that pelvic PT/postpartum PT should be a standard of care and is working diligently towards making that happen. She’s currently mostly serving in her role as mama but works part time for Sword Bloom and sees private clients in their homes.
