In addition, she serves as a Pregnancy and Postpartum Pelvic Health Specialist and a Certified Myofascial Trigger Point Dry Needling Specialist. She brings more than a decade of clinical experience treating complex pelvic health and musculoskeletal conditions to her practice.
As the Founder and CEO of The Pelvic Place Physical Therapy, Dr. Amagoh provides concierge-style, highly individualized care. Specifically, she treats women, men, and gender-diverse patients across every stage of life. Her patients seek expert care for pelvic pain, bladder leakage, bowel dysfunction, and painful intimacy. Furthermore, she routinely addresses prolapse symptoms, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, post-surgical rehabilitation, and C-section recovery.
Advanced Clinical Certifications and Approach
Dr. Amagoh holds advanced credentials in Pelvic Physical Therapy and Pregnancy/Postpartum Physical Therapy through the APTA Academy of Pelvic Health. Consequently, this intensive training allows her to evaluate the entire body, rather than just the pelvic floor. She creates detailed treatment plans that actively target the root contributors to your pain, dysfunction, and movement limitations.
To achieve this, her clinical approach blends advanced pelvic floor assessment with hands-on manual therapy. For example, she utilizes neuromuscular re-education, dry needling, EMG biofeedback, and pelvic floor dilator therapy. Her clinic also offers anorectal balloon manometry, thorough patient education, and individualized home programming. Ultimately, each plan of care is carefully tailored to the patient’s symptoms, goals, comfort level, and unique stage of healing.
Specialized Surgical Insights & Surgical Recovery
Dr. Amagoh’s clinical perspective is further shaped by direct observation of C-sections and pelvic reconstructive surgeries. As a result, she possesses a deep understanding of post-surgical healing, scar mobility, and complex pelvic anatomy. She brings this critical insight into her work with patients recovering from childbirth or major abdominal procedures. Specifically, she guides rehabilitation for hysterectomies, pelvic organ prolapse surgery, gender-affirming procedures, and C-section recovery.

Additionally, she supports patients nationally and internationally through specialized telehealth consultations and concierge services.

In addition to her daily clinical work, Dr. Amagoh actively mentors up-and-coming clinicians. She remains deeply engaged in advanced pelvic health education and professional medical communities. Through these groups, she focuses heavily on pregnancy, postpartum care, pelvic pain, sexual health, and urogynecology. Ultimately, she is passionate about raising the standard of pelvic floor rehabilitation to help patients regain total comfort, confidence, and control over their bodies.
