Dr. Michelle Wall and her husband, Ryan, have two daughters, Madelyn and Ellie, ages 3 and 1. Michelle is a pelvic floor physical therapist with a special focus on the pregnant and postpartum population. Just because she is a pelvic floor physical therapist doesn't mean she just treats the pelvic floor. She takes a holistic approach with her patients to determine the underlying causes for symptoms and pain, which often lie outside the pelvis. Michelle owns Moms in Motion PT, a mobile physical therapy practice where she treats all her clients in the comfort of their own homes. She is an athlete and became passionate about helping other moms after rehabbing her body after the birth of her first daughter and navigating the challenges of the medical system firsthand. In her free time, Michelle enjoys spending time outside with her family, going on walks, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen.
