Alison Hayman

Since Alison Hayman became a physical therapist in 2009, she has worked in a variety of clinical settings, which have all informed her practice over the years. As a young clinician, she completed a year-long physical therapy orthopedic residency program, to hone her clinical reasoning and manual therapy skills, and became a board certified clinical specialist following that.

​

Alison has been passionate about working with pregnant and postpartum patients from early on in her career. After the birth of her first child, she experienced first hand the challenges that come with recovery from these changes. As someone who worked in the field, she was astounded by the lack of information and resources available to new moms about recovery and rehabilitation after giving birth, about the pelvic floor and musculoskeletal system in general. This has driven her practice since.

​

 Alison strongly believes that movement is medicine and physical therapy can be a powerful force in returning a person to his or her optimal function. She especially enjoys working with recreational athletes and mothers (which she notes is also a form of athleticism).

​

Outside of work, she enjoys cooking, strength training, chasing her kids around for  “cardio,” meditation, traveling, and spending time with family.

My favorite part about working with pregnant and postpartum indivduals is giving them the tools to feel empowered through their experience. I've been in the same place as they have; not knowing how to navigate parts of pregnancy and postpartum was really difficult. I'm happy to be a part of changing that narrative for my patients.
