Bringing humans home to their bodies, through every season of change
PELVIC FLOOR THERAPIST COLUMBUS, OHIO
You deserve care that starts with your whole story, moves at the pace your nervous system can actually sustain, and finally gets to the root of what’s been going on.
You were made to feel at home in your body
For over 16 years, I’ve had the privilege to help people feel heard, believed, and empowered in their own healing. People come guarded and exhausted from a system that didn't take them seriously, and leave feeling safe, seen, and finally understood. This work is one of the great joys of my life, and finding the right fit between patient and provider is something I care deeply about.
If you are ready for pelvic care that honors your whole story, I would love to be part of your healing.
—Dr. Amanda Townsend, PT, DPT, pWCS
MY STORY
Born from two pregnancies, two cesareans, and a healthcare system that didn’t know what to do with me
I built Unbound Pelvis as a reclamation, a breaking open of what I had to survive, and what I now refuse to perpetuate. After two pregnancies, two cesareans, and years of navigating a system that dismissed my experience and handed me protocols that made no space for my grief, my nervous system, or my truth, I had to learn how to treat the whole person, not just the body. That journey cracked open my trauma. And in doing so, revealed me.

The Beliefs That Shape Every Session
Humanity: Every body is a lived body. Care adapts to the person in front of me, not the other way around.
Dignity: Symptoms are not moral failures. Bodies are never the problem; systems are.
Humility: The body is the expert. I listen first, treat second, and stay teachable throughout.
Collaboration: Healing is co-created. Nothing is done to someone; everything is done with them.
Safety: Nervous system safety is the prerequisite for change, learning, and repair.
Supporting clinicians the way I wish I had been supported
Supporting people in reclaiming trust in their bodies led me naturally into supporting clinicians in reclaiming trust in their work. Root & Rise Consulting is my consulting practice for women in healthcare who are building sustainable, values-aligned practices and want a thought partner who understands both the clinical and business sides of what they do. If that's you, I'd love to connect there too.
