Dr. Ashlee De Nooy

Dr. Ashlee graduated from from Olivet Nazarene University with a BS in Exercise Science. Bradley University in Peoria, IL with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2011. She devoted 7 years in outpatient orthopedics, including musculoskeletal and neuromuscular impairments, and the geriatrics population.

Dr. Ashlee has been to several manual therapy courses for the upper and lower extremities and spine through Evidence in Motion, has been certified in Astym® to treat tendinopathies, is a certified clinical instructor through the APTA, and has received special training in headaches, as well as management and treatment of vestibular disorders, such as BPPV.

Treating patients in an outpatient orthopedics setting focused heavily on manual therapy has paired well with Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy. When Dr. Ashlee was pregnant with her first son she experienced significant low back and sacroiliac joint pain. Both of these problems lingered on after giving birth and into her second pregnancy two years postpartum sparking an interest in Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy, specifically pregnancy and postpartum.

Following the birth of her second son, she decided to take the APTA’s Fundamentals of Pregnancy and Postpartum, which confirmed her passion and drive to help women to feel their best during and after pregnancy. After working in an outpatient setting and not getting to spend the time she wanted or needed with each patient and seeing insurance denials and limited amounts of visits dictated by insurance, Dr. Ashlee decided to start Body Works Women’s Health & Wellness where she could provide patient’s with individualized one on one care without restrictions.
