Allow Me to Introduce Myself…

My name is Dr. Annie Linville. I am a pelvic floor and orthopedic physical therapist with a passion for getting people back to doing what they love.

I received my Bachelors degree in Athletic Training from the University of North Carolina Wilmington in 2011 and Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Miami in 2014.

After school, I took my first PT job in Arlington, VA at a large outpatient orthopedic practice. I received a lot of practice in post-surgical rehab here and gained confidence in treating a wide variety of sports and orthopedic-based injuries.

After being in the DC area for a few years, I was ready to be closer to family and moved back home to Charlotte, NC in 2016. I continued to work in sports and orthopedics, but also got my Strength and Conditioning Certification and started coaching fitness. I was seeing female athletes who experienced pelvic floor dysfunction during sport and hated that I couldn’t help them. This led me to start pursuing education in pelvic health in 2018.

Since taking my first pelvic floor course, I’ve never turned back. I am passionate about pelvic floor PT because of the drastic change it can make in my patients’ lives. Often a bit of education, guidance, and small changes to everyday life can make a huge difference!

I absolutely love the perinatal space because I get to show up as a source of empowerment for my clients in a time when they may be feeling vulnerable. Pelvic floor dysfunction can be scary, but PT can be so effective in finding relief.

I want my clients to know that their identity as an athlete does not disappear with pregnancy. Even with deconditioning, tough labor and birth experiences, and challenges of parenthood, I can help you reconnect with it postpartum. I went through this myself during my son’s birth in 2022.

I regularly treat patients that need help with:

• c-section recovery

• diastasis recti

• leaking (urinary stress and urge incontinence)

• pelvic organ prolapse

• pelvic pain (vaginusmus, dyspareunia, etc.)

• hip, low back, and pelvic girdle pain (SI joint and pubic symphysis dysfunction)

• labor and birth preparation

Whatever your goals or endeavors may be, consider them mine as well. Getting back to running, lifting, bootcamp, yoga…I’ve got you.
