About
Dr. Annie Snyder is a pelvic health and orthopedic physical therapist committed to providing individualized, holistic and evidence-based care across all stages of life.
Dr. Annie’s interest in pelvic health began while working at the front desk of a physical therapy clinic, where she saw the significant need for specialized care. She recognized how closely it aligned with her own experiences navigating digestive issues since childhood, often being dismissed by health professionals. Motivated by both personal insight and clinical mentorship, she chose to specialize in pelvic health and has since focused her career on supporting individuals with often-overlooked concerns. Dr. Annie is also passionate about community outreach and education and has led workshops on pelvic health, birth preparation, and fertility support.
Dr. Annie’s care is grounded in a collaborative, judgment-free approach where patients feel heard, respected, and supported. Dr. Annie strives to make each session fun, informative, and tailored to the individual by utilizing a variety of skills, including manual therapy, targeted exercise, and education.
