Anewu Physical Therapy, LLC

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend AnewU. Dr. Ariana was very friendly, listened to concerns and the work she did on my pelvic floor and hips truly helped my body prepare for labor and delivery of my second child. I am almost 2 months postpartum now and had a very easy labor and recovery, in part thanks to the prenatal and postpartum appointments I had with Ariana. Very nice and child-friendly office space too!

Experiencia fantástica: Amanda is hands down, one of the best practitioners in the city. She makes the experience of working on your "private parts" one part PT, one part knowledge and one part a friend who knows how to make you feel at ease. I began seeing her for help with my pelvic floor and then found she is skilled with chronic pain and dry needling. I now see her once a month for a tune up and a few pokes. I can't recommend Amanda or Anew more highly.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Amanda is so professional and caring. I am 6 months postpartum and had 2 kids in 2 years and should have went to her way sooner! She worked on my body and did visceral work that was definitely overdue. I feel so amazing now even just after one session. I also got dry needling for my tight hip. After, I went to my chiropractor and they noticed a visible difference in how my body was aligned. I also had to bring my kids which, although not ideal, Dr. Amanda made it very comfortable for them and us. I highly recommend Anewu services!! Amazing stuff!

Experiencia fantástica: Leshelle is an excellent and knowledgeable physical therapist. She helped me immensely during my postpartum recovery phase. I felt very comfortable and confident in her therapy sessions. She understands that as a new mother, it can be challenging to manage everything in life while taking care of a newborn, and hence, she recommends exercises that do not consume too much time. I highly recommend her to all women looking for an expert in pelvic floor physical therapy who views it as a holistic concept. She is indeed a wonderful PT!

Experiencia fantástica: I'm a mom of 2 who works at home full time, and I reached out to Leshelle at the beginning of my second pregnancy to help address pelvic floor weakness. She helped me throughout my pregnancy address systemic and acute issues. I not only saw major progress while pregnant, but had an unbelievably quick recovery postpartum! She is thoughtful, focused, and incredibly intentional in her work, and I'm so happy with the results!

Experiencia fantástica: Amanda is an amazing physical therapist with so much passion for her work and compassion for her clients. Her space is lovely and welcoming and she has a great understanding of the human body! Her treatment plan is easy to understand and she is such a help as I recover from an injury!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone here is incredible and so supportive. A must for any new mom or mom-to-be, and beyond!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent and very knowledgeable therapist. Treats the patient as a whole and does an extremely thorough evaluation and treatment. Such an amazing therapist!!

Experiencia fantástica: I have seen several professionals (midwives, chiropractors, another PT) in my now years-long VBAC journey, and while I have found some who were very supportive, I have never felt as affirmed, seen, listened to, or empowered as I did leaving the office after my last appointment. PT with Amanda has already helped my physical state so much, and she is clearly an excellent professional, but something that's much more difficult to come by in our culture is genuine support and respect for mothers as individuals. I will definitely carry the physical healing and verbal support she’s given me into my birth, and I'm so grateful for that!

Experiencia fantástica: Ashley is incredibly knowledgeable, as well as warm, funny, and just a delightful person all around. I’m a yoga teacher, and I regularly recommend her to my prenatal yoga students, as well as family and friends. I started working with Ashley shortly after undergoing a complex abdominal surgery to treat endometriosis, as well as bladder and pelvic issues resulting from my two previous births. I initially wanted to address post-surgical pain, and optimize my recovery. I wanted a physical therapist who would “talk shop” and work collaboratively with me to support my goals. As we’ve worked together, I’ve exceeded those goals, and continue to identify and improve physical issues that I didn’t even know could be “fixed”! Ashley has provided me with fabulous body work to release chronic pain and tension in my pelvis and hips, as well as other areas in my body. She guides me with helpful exercises and adjustments to my daily movements and yoga practice. She’s worth every penny and then some!

Experiencia fantástica: As someone who has struggled with hypermobility and chronic pain my whole life, I have visited many physical therapists. Usually, I attend physical therapy until I am told there is unfortunately nothing else that can be done. With Leshelle, I experienced lasting improvements (which is rare for me!), and I feel so much more equipped to build strength and lessen my pain. The Anewu team is fantastic!!

Experiencia fantástica: I started seeing Ashley after I had a C-section with my first child and was having terrible back pain. Not only did Ashley help me feel better almost immediately, but she is an absolute joy to be around. I came back to her after having my second kiddo to work on pelvic floor issues and have started to feel better in a matter of weeks. She is incredible and I recommend her to all of my friends!!

Experiencia fantástica: Leshelle has honestly changed my life postpartum. I am a nurse and runner and wanted to get back to normal life and fitness as soon as I could postpartum. She took her time to customize my individual plan and made it very specific to my needs. We worked together to figure out what worked best. She made me feel very safe and valued. I am running a marathon this weekend 8 months postpartum and I owe it all to her knowledge, patience, expertise and non judgement of me and my goals!

Experiencia fantástica: I've worked with each of the AMAZING Physical Therapists at AnewU and they are absolutely wonderful. Not only do they take the time to assess and analyze the underlying cause, but they explain it, treat you and then give you ideas on how to work on things at-home so you feel educated, validated and empowered to help yourself. I can't recommend them enough!

Experiencia fantástica: I'm so grateful I found Amanda - she has helped me regain strength in my pelvic floor postpartum which has greatly improved my quality of life. The exercises didn't come naturally to me, but she was so patient and offered a few different ways to help me figure out how to do them. After just three visits I felt back to my normal self. She's easy to talk to and has great bedside manner. I highly recommend her for any pelvic floor therapy you may need.

Experiencia fantástica: I came in for a childhood sternum & hip injury that I got about 10 years ago from getting bucked off a horse. After going to many doctors with no real progress (mostly just prescriptions for inhalers and ibuprofen), I finally decided to try physical therapy. Coming to Anewu PT has literally given me my life back. I couldn't sit up straight, I couldn't breathe well, now I can be active again and have even started gaining strength in my body that I never thought I could get back. Something I love about this practice is that Amanda, Ashley, and Christine are all great about explaining what is happening in the body while working with me; it really helps me understand why I am doing the exercises that I am given and that makes my progress feel much more significant and exciting. Amanda is one of the nicest, caring, empathetic practitioners I have ever met, and she made me feel extremely safe in her office when I started PT at Anewu. Once she left for maternity leave (congrats!! :D) I have started to see Ashley more often. She is also extremely empathetic, her energy is always positive, and she helps push me into the right direction that I need for my healing without making all of the exercises and in-office treatment too overwhelming. She even helped me get over my fear of needles enough to do dry needling on my legs. Most recently Ashley has been treating me for a neck injury I got a few weeks ago and I have been healing from it faster than I could have ever imagined, thanks to her. I actually happy-cried in the office today because after my session I could turn my head all the way to the right for the first time in a couple weeks. SHE IS AMAZING! I definitely suggest this practice to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: I attended a talk by Amanda when I was three months postpartum and struggling with pelvic floor issues as well as lower back pain related to diastasis recti (separation of the ab muscles during pregnancy). Since then, I’ve seen Amanda on and off over the past four years, through the pregnancy and healing of two babies. Words cannot express how grateful I am to her! She is an incredibly talented, intuitive, and knowledgeable practitioner. She really listens to what I’m experiencing and then takes the time to figure out what’s the root cause before proceeding with treatment. Not everything is a quick fix…regularly doing the exercises she recommends is a crucial part of getting better, but I’ve been amazed at how much better I feel after working with Amanda. From dry needling to trigger point release to regular exercise, my body is in a completely different place than it was before I worked with Amanda. As a bonus, she’s not only an amazing physical therapist, she’s also a lovely person and a wonderful mom. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Experiencia fantástica: I’m so glad I found Amanda! After having our first baby, I had a third degree tear and was experiencing a good amount of discomfort. Amanda went above and beyond and put together the perfect protocol for my pelvic floor PT (using in-person sessions, at home exercises and movement). After just a few sessions, I felt more like myself, had regained strength and felt amazing! I attribute so much of my postpartum recovery to her and will feel forever grateful! I would recommend her to everyone!

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Amanda after seeing a slew of pelvic floor specialists for a post birth prolapse feeling deflated and disappointed by the results of various kegel strengthening exercise plans. Amanda approached my issue with a fresh perspective and strategy which focused more on releasing tension than strengthening, using a multidisciplinary approach. I am incredulous and proud to say I am now nearly symptom free and have deep appreciation for her skills, understanding and compassion. I can not recommend her more highly.

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Anewu PT after several trips to different doctor offices with no immediate answers as to why I was experiencing Pelvic Pain. I was referred by chiropractor and a Obgyn nurse who has been in the business for over 40 years. Some days it was a ten plus and nobody was able to give me answers. I had test upon test and it was all coming back negative. Amanda is not only an amazing Doctor, but an amazing friend who gave me a genuine and caring attitude that we would figure this out together and I was not alone. Her care has helped me achieve many more pain free days in between my cycle. I came in with everyday being bad and now it only flares up around my menstrual cycle and ovulation.(and nowhere near as extreme that it used to be) I have several opinions now leaning towards endometriosis at this point. She has done pelvic therapy and visceral techniques on my stomach. My stomach used to have an extreme tightness and pain and that is completely gone now. I could not recommend her more or say enough good things about the care she provides and the truly caring demeanor she gives. She is constantly taking more courses and learning new techniques for her clients. I am very grateful.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot more highly recommend Amanda! She is skilled in her field and is exceptional about hearing and assessing her clients' needs and designing a custom plan to meet the client's needs. I'm an athlete (mostly CrossFit and running) and I was eager to get back to being active after having my third baby. But I was limited by low pelvic floor strength and a prolapse. Amanda greatly impacted my healing trajectory and helped me come back stronger and more equipped to engage in high impact movements (like running, jumping rope, and box jumps) than after my first two kids. My pelvic floor is stronger and better functioning at six months postpartum after having my third baby than after one year postpartum with my first two.

Experiencia fantástica: Amanda is amazing! I worked with her starting at 8 weeks postpartum and she did an incredible job both working with me in her office and giving me home exercises to do to correct my pelvic floor issues. By 4.5 months postpartum she has me feeling pretty much back to normal. Amanda is an incredibly smart, warm, and knowledgable provider. I highly recommend going to her practice.

Experiencia fantástica: I started seeing Amanda several months ago. I have had years of hip issues and have seen many PTs. Her approach was very unique in that she not only looked at the problem areas, but also at the surrounding muscles and joints. She listened very well to what my areas of concern/pain were and made a point to address each. Very quickly, I learned that some of my pain came from tight hip muscles in the inner pelvic floor, which no other PT had considered. Within a month of seeing Amanda regularly, I started running again and am now running 3 miles several times a week. The last time I was able to run that much without pain was before having kids nearly 6 years ago!

Experiencia fantástica: Amanda was able to help when no one else could. I had seen multiple physical therapists, but she had the experience and expertise to help my complex situation. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Experiencia fantástica: I can't say enough amazing things about Amanda and her work, she is such a gem. The most effective physical therapist I have ever been too, she truly goes out of her way to help her clients. In addition to her incredible talent for understanding the body, she really makes the most out of every session and fits in as much treatment as possible. In addition to physical therapy for pregnancy and pelvic floor work, she was able to help me rehabilitate some very old injuries that had left me with chronic pain and loss of range and strength. If you have never had a good experience with a physical therapist but are considering her treatment, do it. I promise you won't regret it!

Experiencia fantástica: I am a runner and triathlete and was experiencing hip pain when I started seeing Amanda. Amanda was able to do a full evaluation of my range of motion and running gait in order to prescribe treatment. We started with dry needling and massage (including around scar tissue) and I immediately felt improvement. She also helped me with strengthening exercises. The treatment overall has helped tremendously! On top of that Amanda is friendly and easy to work with. She does a great job listening to me and my concerns.

Experiencia fantástica: Amanda is not only a phenomenal and knowledgeable PT, but she is truly one of the kindest people I have ever had the privilege to know. She treats her patients with the utmost compassion and promotes a high level of healing! She is always our first choice whenever injuries or pains come up, and Boulder is truly a better place with Anewu in our community.

Experiencia fantástica: Amanda is a lifesaver! I was referred to her by my midwife after the birth of my first child 10 months ago. She helped me through my c-section recovery and my incision healed great because of it. She was hands on and worked on the incision to breakup the scar tissue. She also showed me exercises to help regain the weakness I felt throughout my whole lower abdominal/ pelvic area. She was extremely detailed in our sessions- always finding the issue and getting together a game plan to correct it. I know I made the right decision seeing her, especially after hearing so many stories from other moms that still have issues long after their c-sections. Thank you Amanda for being so kind, patient, knowledgeable, and professional at what you do!

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t begin to say how much I appreciate Amanda’s knowledge and expertise. After having a third degree tear during birth and prolapse, I pretty much thought my life was over But I have made an incredible healing journey because of her! I have friends who had babies before me, telling me how weak their pelvic floor is, and how tight their scar tissue is... how they have stinging pains when they move...If only they knew how much Amanda has helped me (even though I tell them all the time)...I can move freely now without pain, and confidently lift weights without being afraid my prolapse will get worse... and how what once was debilitating is now a thing of the past. I'm truly grateful :)

Experiencia fantástica: I originally pursued Amanda’s expertise in the recommendation of friends for work on my pelvic floor after a c-section. For such a sensitive area of the body, she took great care in ensuring my comfort in exam and therapy, and took the time for me to understand which muscles needed activating and which needed relaxing during the prescribed exercises. Beyond the pelvic floor, I found that her education about my body and impact that one area may have on another all incredibly enlightening, and making care while exercising much easier than ever. I’m amazed at her knowledge, and the welcoming nature of her space and personality. I’m so glad I’ve entrusted her with the care of my body.

Experiencia fantástica: I am a professor and mother of young children who came to see Amanda because of ongoing outer hip pain. She gave me strengthening exercises as well as massage therapy once a week for about 5 weeks and completely fixed the problem. Amanda was caring, professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly, successful in solving the issue at hand. I recommend her without hesitation.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been working with Amanda for almost two years, and she has been fantastic. She is thoughtful, professional, and very skilled. One therapy in particular that I do with Amanda is dry needling to treat trigger points. I have worked with 5 different therapists on needling, and Amanda is the best dry needler that I have worked with, by a wide margin. I can't recommend her enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Seeing Amanda is the best money I have spent on myself in a long time. I was about to quit cycling because no one could figure out what was wrong with my hips. Amanda knew exactly what I needed and fixed what others had been trying to help me with for years. Her dry needling skills are amazing as is her ability to figure out exactly where it was needed. I feel very lucky that I found her!

Experiencia fantástica: Amanda has been my physical therapist for the last 4 1/2 years and has helped me through so much! She is caring, thorough, experienced, persistent, creative and truly exceptional in every way. I can’t imagine seeing anyone else for physical therapy as I trust her care and judgement 100%. She will listen to all of your concerns, provide the proper treatment and follow up plan and get you back to living your life pain free. She is amazing and deserves 5+ stars!

Experiencia fantástica: When I first came to Amanda I had broken my shoulder I had very little mobility. Having an infant at home I needed to regain strength and mobility as soon as possible. I’m glad I went with Amanda she is incredibly knowledgeable, explained everything I great detail, and always had a smile on her face which made me feel like I was hanging out with a close friend. In less time than expected I was back to holding and hugging my daughter again. She worked on my range of motion, as well as some needling techniques which helped tremendously. Now my shoulder feels as good as new, no difference whatsoever between both my shoulders. I would recommend Amanda to friends and family really anyone asking for a recommendation because she is the best in the business. I couldn’t ask for a better Physical Therapist thank you Amanda for all that you have done for not just me but my family as well.

Experiencia fantástica: Amanda is an exemplary physical therapist. She is patient, listens well to your concerns, and helps you develop a plan to help you long term. I worked with Amanda on addressing pain and vestibular balance issues for several years after repeat brain surgeries. Amanda was always attentive to my needs, to my varying stages of recovery, and my long list of goals. She helped me cope both physically and emotionally! I saw a marked improvement in my pain every time I saw Amanda and the "homework" she gave was manageable and helped me manage pain at home, and alleviate it over time. Moreover, I always looked forward to my appointments because Amanda is so kind and fun to be around! I would not have been able to go back to work when I did without her and am so glad I found her. I would whole heartedly tell anyone looking for a PT to go to Amanda. She is the best!
