Chanol Ottley-Allen, PT, DPT
Hello, I'm Chanol, and it brings me immense joy to be part of the dedicated team of Pelvic Health Physical Therapists here at Painless Pregnancy.
My journey towards becoming a Doctor of Physical Therapy commenced at McMaster University in Canada, where I completed my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology in 2004. My fascination with the intricacies of the human body and the art of movement propelled me to pursue a Master of Science in Physiotherapy degree from Leeds Beckett University in the U.K., which I proudly achieved in 2009.
After five years of dedicated practice, primarily in the field of orthopedic Physical Therapy, I encountered numerous women who, sadly, had resigned themselves to a life of pain and shame due to pelvic floor dysfunction. Witnessing this inspired a transformation in my career. I embarked on a journey to acquire advanced knowledge and skills by enrolling in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Nova Southeastern University in Florida. Alongside, I completed specialist courses in Pelvic Health and Rehabilitation through Herman and Wallace.
I find fulfillment in addressing a wide spectrum of pelvic floor conditions, but I hold a particular soft spot for mothers experiencing acute pain. As a mother myself, raising two spirited and loving boys, I can deeply empathize with the unique challenges that women face during pregnancy and postpartum. I firmly believe that every pregnancy journey is distinct and I am here to provide you with the individualized care and support you deserve. Together, we can create a pregnancy experience that is not only painless but also filled with comfort and joy. Your well-being is my priority, and I can't wait to help you achieve it.
Hi my name is Victoria! I graduated from the University of Connecticut with a Bachelor’s in Exercise Science and minor in Nutrition. I then went on to earn my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Marist College.
I have worked with various populations including orthopedic, neurological, cardiopulmonary, geriatric, pediatric, athletes, pregnant, and postpartum. I grew to love working specifically with the pregnant and postpartum population as I saw the direct benefits exercise, manual therapy, and education can bring women undergoing so many different changes to their body during pregnancy and after giving birth. I am excited to bring awareness to common and uncommon pregnancy and postpartum conditions and guide women through the physical and psychological changes they may encounter. I believe that exercise is medicine and the more knowledge I can impart to help educate women the more prepared, less stressed, and better managed their pain will be.
My 20 years of experience as a dancer has helped me mold my treatment sessions focusing on movement, strength training, balance, and flexibility which I tailor to meet the specific needs of each patient I work with.
I look forward to treating you and being a part of the Painless Pregnancy tribe!
