Meet Dr. Allison Romero
Doctor of Physical Therapy & Clinical Specialist in Pelvic Health
Hi! And thank you for being here! My name is Dr. Allison Romero, DPT. I am a doctor of physical therapy, pelvic floor specialist, and mom of 2. Since 2011, I have been specializing in this field and have worked with thousands of women (and men!) dealing with pelvic floor issues and dysfunction. This work really matters to me and there is nothing I would rather be doing with my career. I have experienced an array of pelvic floor dysfunction myself, (both pre and post kids!) and I feel that these experiences have become a huge strength in my understanding and treatment of issues that involve the pelvic floor both specifically and on a more global/holistic scale. Over the years I have mentored and been mentored by some of the best physical therapists in the industry. I have taught courses for both patients and providers. I have written blogs, newsletters, and articles; becoming a leader in this field while spreading the word of pelvic health. I began this private practice in 2016 after I had my first daughter and it has grown into something I am really proud of. The pelvic floor is an integral part of our core function and health and in order to give ourselves the most holistic healing, we need to give it the love it deserves!
A couple other tidbits: I have 2 daughters, Piper and June. I am a READER (fiction recs please!). I love being cozy, the occasional TV binge sesh, and tending to my many house plants.

What Colleagues Are Saying:
"As a healthcare provider, it is important that I have excellent referrals for all of my patients. Allison is kind, professional and an exceptional pelvic physical therapist. She is truly the best. Allison has taught me that pain isn't something that you need to live with. She has also taught me that working together can yield lasting results. She really cares. I can't recommend her enough."
— Dr. Jamie Hampton DAOM, L.Ac.
"Working with Allison was a learning experience for many in the community, myself included. I first met Allison at an educational forum for anal cancer survivors and patients and was immediately struck by her ability to clearly articulate and convey many of the concerns of the new reality individuals facing life after pelvic radiation experience. She shared information, strategies, and approaches to pelvic care that were new to many of us in the audience.
Because of Allison’s extreme breadth of knowledge, our organization asked her to contribute written content for our website and participate in an online educational forum. We received feedback from individuals who viewed the online educational forum that Allison’s presentation was not only informative, but a transformational moment during their cancer experience because they were provided knowledge and skill building activities about which they had not previously known. Her presentations were empowering for those who have felt lost after pelvic radiation.
Allison’s knowledge and expertise provided the [anal cancer] community with invaluable information. She approaches her work with compassion and care and was a tremendous source of insight in working with the organization."
— Kassandra Samman, Former Director of Patient Services and External Relations, The HPV and Anal Cancer Foundation
