Meet Your Physical Therapist
Joanna Pavlak, PT, DPT
I’m Joanna Pavlak, a passionate pelvic health physical therapist specializing in fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum care. With half a decade of experience in pelvic health, I have had the privilege of helping individuals navigate their unique journeys—whether enhancing fertility and pelvic wellness, managing pregnancy changes, or recovering postpartum. I am wrapping up my Pelvic Rehab Fertility Specialist (PRFS) certification through Triggered Academy, building on my years of experience in fertility-focused physical therapy. This advanced training further enhances my expertise in optimizing reproductive health, supporting menstrual cycle regulation, and improving outcomes for those navigating fertility challenges, including IVF and natural cycles.
I founded Fertility PT to provide personalized, hands-on care for those seeking to optimize their reproductive health and overall well-being. My approach integrates evidence-based techniques with a compassionate, holistic mindset—helping my patients feel empowered, strong, and connected to their bodies.
As a mom myself, I understand firsthand the physical and emotional demands of pregnancy and postpartum recovery. I bring this perspective into my work, ensuring that each patient feels supported, heard, and cared for every step of the way.
I chose to establish Fertility PT at Altitude Social House because of its incredible community of wellness-focused professionals. The shared mission of supporting whole-body health resonates deeply with me, and as a regular at the yoga studio, I fell in love with the space and its energy.
When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me traveling, baking, spending time with my family, or enjoying my small flock of backyard chickens. I’m always eager to learn, grow, and connect with those looking to take charge of their health.
I look forward to helping you along your journey!
Services
At Fertility PT, we provide specialized, hands-on physical therapy to support you through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and beyond. Whether you’re preparing for conception, managing pelvic pain, strengthening your core, or recovering from surgery, my personalized treatments help restore function, reduce pain, and improve overall well-being. From pelvic floor therapy and dry needling to postpartum rehabilitation and scar tissue mobilization, we offer a range of services designed to meet your unique needs. Your journey is personal, and your care should be too. Let’s work together to help you move, feel, and live better.
-
If you're preparing for pregnancy—whether naturally or through assisted reproductive techniques like IVF—gentle, targeted physical therapy can improve circulation, reduce tension, and optimize pelvic health. My approach supports your body's natural function, creating an ideal foundation for conception.
-
Your body is undergoing major changes, and physical therapy can help manage discomfort, improve mobility, and prepare you for delivery. I provide hands-on techniques and tailored exercises to support your pelvic floor, ease lower back pain, and enhance overall stability throughout pregnancy.
-
Healing after birth takes time, and I’m here to help you recover with confidence. Whether you’ve had a vaginal delivery or C-section, I provide gentle therapy to restore core strength, address diastasis recti, improve scar mobility, and support your pelvic floor as you return to daily activities.
-
Pelvic floor dysfunction can cause pain, incontinence, or discomfort with intimacy, but it’s not something you have to live with. I offer individualized treatments to help restore balance, strength, and coordination in the pelvic muscles so you can feel in control of your body again.
-
Muscle tightness, chronic pain, and trigger points can limit mobility and impact performance. Dry needling is a targeted technique that releases deep muscular tension, improves blood flow, and accelerates recovery. Whether you're a runner, lifter, yogi, or weekend warrior, this therapy helps reduce pain and enhance movement so you can stay active and perform at your best.
-
A strong core is essential for everything from fertility and postpartum recovery to athletic performance and injury prevention. Whether you're healing from diastasis recti, rebuilding strength after pregnancy, or looking to improve stability for yoga, strength training, or endurance sports, I provide personalized strategies to restore core function. Through targeted therapy and movement training, I help improve posture, enhance coordination, and support overall performance—so you can move with confidence in daily life and in your sport.
-
Post-surgical recovery can sometimes lead to tightness, numbness, or discomfort around your scar. Whether from a c-section, hysterectomy, post-prostatectomy, or more, with gentle manual therapy, I help improve tissue mobility, decrease restrictions, and promote better healing for smoother movement and less pain.
