About Dr. Anna Pedersen PT, DPT
Pelvic Health, Perinatal and Orthopedic Physical Therapist
Dr. Anna Pedersen is a Minneapolis based pelvic and perinatal physical therapist, and owner of Resilience Physical Therapy.
Her introduction to pelvic health physical therapy started when she experienced her own pelvic pain as a teenager. The pelvic physical therapy was such a positive experience for her, that she decided to pay it forward and become a pelvic physical therapist herself.
Over a decade later, she practices with a philosophy informed by both her personal experience with pelvic health issues, and her professional training and clinical experience helping hundreds of others with bladder, bowel, sexual and pain issues.
She created Resilience Physical Therapy to produce the highest amount of value all around. She wanted the freedom and autonomy to show up as authentically and sustainably as possible, as a professional.
She offers out of network 1:1 physical therapy services in home, at Common Well Collective in Northeast Minneapolis, and via telehealth for the state of MN. She also offers community workshops, and free educational materials on the Resilience Physical Therapy website.
She focuses on female pelvic health- treating people with vulvo-vaginal anatomy, and gender based care. She enjoys working with LGBTQ individuals, and provides care for ages puberty and up- seeing both adolescents and adults.
Anna encourages individuals to seek risk reduction and proactive care for pregnancy, sports and physical activity, medical procedures and surgeries. She invites people to work with her proactively, to reduce the risk of the more severe or prolonged injuries, complications or recoveries.
