AMY DIRUZZO, DPT, NCPT
Amy DiRuzzo is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher with more than 20 years of experience.
As a former gymnast, volleyball player and runner, she constantly struggled with pain and injuries that eventually led to two hip surgeries in 2011. Amy found Pilates shortly after surgery and knew immediately that it was exactly what her body needed. After the first class, she felt more supported with less pain and greater ease of movement. For the first time, she was able to build stability and strength in her body which allowed her to return to her active Colorado lifestyle.
Pilates was also an integral part of healing after the birth of her two sons. It was the perfect way to restore core stability, strength and function – all necessary to be a strong mom to two energetic boys. She has completed extensive continuing education to become certified as a Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist.
Amy now uses her education and experience to help others heal after pain, injuries and pregnancy. She specializes in back pain, Diastasis Recti, pelvic floor dysfunction, scoliosis, sciatica, SI joint pain and more. Based in Greenwood Village, Colorado, Amy offers both private Pilates training and full physical therapy treatments. She is passionate about empowering all clients to embrace healthy, mindful movement!
