Postpartum Physical Recovery

About Dr. Annie Linville

Dr. Annie Linville is a pelvic floor and orthopedic physical therapist and the founder of GROW PT in Charlotte, NC. A Doctor of Physical Therapy with backgrounds in athletic training and strength and conditioning, she specializes in helping women navigate pelvic floor changes through pregnancy and postpartum — and reconnect with the active lives they love, from running to lifting to yoga. Annie believes a mother's identity as an athlete doesn't disappear with pregnancy, a conviction she carries personally as well as professionally after the birth of her son in 2022. Her approach pairs clinical expertise with practical education, because small changes often make a dramatic difference.
