Physical Therapist

11 Fun Facts About Amy

  1. I am now the owner but I used to be a patient – When I was in high school, Physical Therapy helped me get back to doing the sports I loved – volleyball and swimming (I also played basketball but that was required when you’re 6 feet tall). I would have missed out on my Senior year sports if it weren’t for my awesome PT.
  2. I have traveled the country while earning my degrees – I earned my Bachelor’s at Santa Clara University (CA) and moved all the way across the country for my Mater’s at Western Carolina University (NC). My Ph.D. was earned while living here in Washington.
  3. After working with Physical Therapists at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (Germany) I decided I needed more education – Military PT’s are amazing and have a very high level of education. After volunteering with them for 3 years at Landstuhl I decided to go for my Ph.D. in Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy so I was better equipped to treat each PERSON not a diagnosis.
  4. I literally cannot remember my life before I met my husband – We met when I was 14 years old and have been married for over 20 years. He was the one who challenged me to start my own company so I had the time to treat each patient as an individual.
  5. The current way we are doing Physical Therapy isn’t working – “more patients, less time” isn’t delivering the level of care you desire and require for your overall health.
  6. My oldest daughter is just like me (and she hates me saying that) – Analytical, detail oriented, continual learner, reader of all the books. I love challenging her thought patterns and helping guide her to her dreams.
  7. We are not sure where my youngest daughter came from – She has physical skill and a desire for a career in ballet. People ask me if I am concerned about the physical stress a ballet career takes. The short answer “Heck yeah!” But, I enjoy the time I get to spend with her as we keep her body in top form.
  8. “It’s All Connected” is one of my favorite sayings – Our bodies are beautifully complex and I enjoy teaching people about their unique bodies.
  9. I want to win my age group for a half marathon race – But I run slow so I will have to keep running until I am 70 years old to do that!
  10. Bailey, The Princess Pup, rules our house – and everyone living in it! She is my running partner and my napping partner.
  11. Movement Is Life – One of my core beliefs and the #1 core value here at PT4EB. If you aren’t moving, you aren’t healing, and you certainly ain’t living.

 

Struggling with pain and dysfunction can impact every part of our lives — it drains our energy, distracts us from our goals, and keeps us from the people and activities we love. As an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist, Dr. Amy Konvalin understands how frustrating those limitations can be — and she knows how to help get you back to the life you want to live!

Beginning with a focused evaluation, Dr. Amy works to determine the root causes of your pain, as well as understanding how it affects the way you move through your world. Dysfunctional patterns of movement often grow worse with time and cause further damage if left untreated — so it’s important to address these issues as soon as possible.

Dr. Amy knows there is no one-size-fits-all plan for success, and she partners with patients to identify their unique treatment goals and personal values. Using these goals as a guide, Amy uses her doctorate training in manual (hands-on) therapy and exercise prescription to treat patients with a wide variety of medical challenges and histories throughout the Maple Valley, Black Diamond and Covington areas.

Dr. Amy is also a wife to a Boeing superstar/former C-130 navigator.  While they lived in Germany, Dr. Amy was able to volunteer with the US Army to treat military personnel and civilians on base.  She has two beautiful teenage ballerinas who keep her on her toes and educate her on all things ballet!  Bailey, the princess pup, is her running partner and her napping partner.  In the spare moments in between, Amy enjoys reading, yoga, wine with friends, Pilates, and walking on the beach.
