Your Restore Clinical Team
Dr. Michelle Komrower
I’ve always been passionate about health and fitness, but it wasn’t until my doctoral training that I truly discovered my calling—pelvic health. While in grad school, I faced my own pelvic health struggles and quickly realized how crucial this care is for women, and yet, how often it’s overlooked. This personal experience shaped my career focus, and helping women navigate pelvic health has been my passion ever since.
Now, as a new mom going through postpartum recovery, I’ve gained an even deeper understanding. It’s one thing to approach pelvic health as a professional, but living through it has given me a greater empathy and a stronger drive to support other women on their own journeys.
My journey into my educational training began with my undergraduate studies in Exercise Science at SVSU in Michigan, where I laid the foundation for my passion. I then pursued my doctoral degree in Physical Therapy at Trine University in Fort Wayne, Indiana. To deepen my expertise, I have completed specialized training in pelvic health and obstetrics through the Academy of Pelvic Health. This educational background, combined with my personal experiences, fuels my commitment to empowering women on their wellness journeys.
I understand how important it is to feel heard and supported, especially during the challenges of postpartum recovery or managing pelvic health issues. My approach is simple—every woman deserves care that’s not only expert and personalized but also compassionate. I focus on helping you regain your strength, rebuild your confidence, and feel empowered in your body again. It’s not just about the physical recovery; I’m here for the emotional journey too, because I’ve been there, and I know how much it matters to feel truly understood.
I’m married to my best friend, Cory, who I met during my freshman year of undergrad. We were lab partners in anatomy and physiology—he had some “studying” motives, which blossomed into a beautiful relationship over the years. We welcomed our precious daughter, Stella, into our lives in March of 2024, and she has already brought us so much joy and laughter.
As a Michigan native, I’m no stranger to cold winters (though I can’t say I love them!). My mom is my best friend and a huge inspiration for my passion for women’s health. Growing up, I watched her selflessly care for my disabled sister while always putting our needs first. Her dedication taught me the importance of self-care and supporting one another, especially during challenging times. It’s a value I carry into my practice, wanting every woman to feel empowered to prioritize her health and well-being.
Now, as I navigate the ups and downs of motherhood, I draw on my own experiences to better understand the challenges my clients face. Whether it’s finding time for fitness amidst the chaos or simply needing someone to listen, I aim to create a welcoming space where women feel heard and supported. I believe that every woman deserves to feel strong and confident, and I’m here to help guide that journey.
Staying active has always been a huge part of my life. I love CrossFit, running, and now, “weighted baby walks” with Stella bring a whole new level of joy and fitness to my day. I also coach group fitness classes, where I get to share my passion for movement and help others feel strong. When I’m not in full mom-mode or working, you’ll likely find me curled up watching “The Masked Singer” with Cory or recharging with a much-needed cold brew coffee.

I don’t have a typical origin story like most PTs, I like to say “I fell into my career, and learned to love it.” Growing up playing lots of sports I knew I wanted a sports-related and physical job, but that was about all I knew. I had been through formal physical therapy once when I was 9, and was a terrible patient. I “tried” PT school and I loved it.
After working with pelvic health patients for years, I recently went through pregnancy and postpartum and developed a deeper understanding and compassion for patients going through the same.
I graduated from Saint Louis University with my Bachelors in Exercise Science in 2014, and graduated with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy also from SLU in 2016. I practiced in outpatient orthopedics for 2 years before becoming a travel physical therapist that led me to see the country and learn so much about different treatment styles and patient populations. I began my pelvic health journey as a student, during my first clinical rotation my instructor was a pelvic health therapist. She introduced me to the world of pelvic PT and I knew from then I wanted to follow in her footsteps. Since then, I have sharpened my skills attending several pelvic health continuing education courses that address treatment of all genders, through the Institute of Advanced Musculoskeletal Treatments.
I want what works best for my patients and I am happy to accommodate them by any means necessary. If an internal exam isn’t doable initially, I am more than willing to move at your pace and revisit that later on. Informed consent and patient safety are my top priorities. Movement is key to healing, and I’m always looking for exercises that tap into each patient’s unique strengths and make them feel empowered.
I met my husband in kindergarten and we started dating in high school. We got married in 2017 and had twin girls in 2024. We have a doodle named Popcorn too!
On the weekends, you can find me hanging with my twin toddlers, going for a run, doing a household renovation project with my husband, or checking out a new brewery!
