A M Y VA N D E R L I N D E N MOMENT OF TRUTH PT After more than 20 years as a physical therapist, Amy Vander Linden knows that women do a terrible job asking for what they need and prioritizing themselves. She also knows that “postpartum” is forever and that myofascial release can help women through pregnancy and postpartum. Myofascial release is about working with the body’s fascia—the web covering that weaves its way throughout the entire body. It is believed that issues with the fascia are in large part responsible for chronic pain. “I love working with women to show them their own power to heal, to feel their worth and sense of self,” explains Vander Linden. “When they value themselves enough to come in, we are able to help them feel truly worth it and to heal and feel confident and capable again.” At Moment of Truth PT and in the new Healing Space Yoga Studio, Vander Linden encourages women to get to know their own bodies so they can be healthy, active, and feel like themselves. While she says most women never really understand myofascial release, they do feel the results. “What they do understand is feeling safe, feeling heard and feeling known, and I love getting to provide that space for them.” MomentOfTruthPT.com—S.L.-G.
