Her Story
About Amy
Amy Rozelle, is a physical therapist and double board-certified pelvic health specialist with more than 12 years of experience at the Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan in Detroit. She specializes in women's health and pelvic floor rehabilitation, providing one-on-one care for patients experiencing pelvic pain, incontinence, pregnancy- and postpartum-related conditions, menopause-related concerns, and recovery following surgery. In addition to her clinical practice, Amy serves as a clinical lead for pelvic health programs, helping develop evidence-based care pathways while improving access to specialized rehabilitation services across the health system.
Amy discovered her passion for pelvic health after a clinical instructor introduced her to the specialty during her physical therapy training. She earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree through Saint Louis University's direct-entry program and went on to complete extensive postgraduate education through the Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute, earning the Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certification (PRPC) and the American Physical Therapy Association's Board-Certified Women's Health Clinical Specialist (PWCS) credential. Throughout her career, she has combined advanced clinical expertise with program development, building a successful pelvic health service from the ground up by expanding physician partnerships, growing referral networks, and advocating for greater access to conservative, evidence-based pelvic rehabilitation.
Beyond patient care, Amy is deeply committed to advancing the profession through education and mentorship. She serves as a post-graduate lab assistant and clinical faculty member for the Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute, teaches and mentors students through Wayne State University and other academic programs, and presents educational content to healthcare professionals and medical residents. An active member of the International Pelvic Pain Society, the American Physical Therapy Association and its Pelvic Health Section, and the Michigan Physical Therapy Association, Amy is recognized for her dedication to clinical excellence, lifelong learning, and compassionate, patient-centered care. Guided by the values of empathy, honesty, collaboration, and continuous improvement, she remains passionate about empowering both her patients and the next generation of physical therapists.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Amy
01What do you attribute your success to?
I love working in this industry and helping women overcome pelvic pain so they can feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in their everyday lives.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Don't be afraid to take initiative. It's often better to ask for forgiveness than permission, as long as you act with good judgment, honesty, and respect.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Work hard, never stop learning, and believe in yourself. Confidence comes from being willing to grow, take on new challenges, and keep moving forward.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
You hit a salary ceiling pretty quick. And then people are starting to look elsewhere, and they're losing really good clinicians too. I have two board certifications, and that doesn't raise your salary at all compared to somebody else with 12 years experience who doesn't have those.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Honesty, integrity, and working hard are the values I strive to demonstrate every day
