Dr. Ally earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Sports Biomechanics from University of Cincinnati. She went on to earn her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Colorado where she graduated in 2013.

She started her career specializing in orthopedics and she is Board Certified Orthopedic specialist. She has been practicing trigger point dry needling for over 6 years .She became interested in pelvic therapy after having a personal experience where she required pelvic therapy as a patient. The treatment was so effective in helping her pelvic floor condition but it also helped her low back and hip pain. She decided to pursue additional training so she could help others get the same results.

She has taken additional pelvic floor training, including Holistic Treatment of the Pregnant Body with the Institute of Birth Healing, and is passionate about continuing with her education. Dr. Ally wants her patients to feel heard and understood. People tend to suffer in silence about their pelvic floor conditions because they have been told it is normal or their symptoms are embarrassing to talk about to others. Dr. Ally will make you feel comfortable and validated, but most importantly she will do everything she can to make you feel better.

She can treat men and women with conditions such as urinary incontinence, constipation, fecal incontinence, pelvic pain, vaginal pain, low back pain, hip pain, abdominal pain, pregnancy, post partum, diastis recti, pudendal neuralgia, interstitial cystitis, post-proctectomy, and more.

Dr. Ally also has a special interest in pediatrics and has received advanced pelvic floor and visceral training for this population.

You can see Dr. Ally in our Littleton, CO location.
