Dr. Yvonne Ferrufino

Yvonne was born and raised in Sugar Land, TX where she grew up dancing competitively. Yvonne loved dancing so much that she went to college for it, and graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in dance! With her father’s advice, she also began taking the prerequisite classes for Physical Therapy. After undergrad, she took a year to perform, finish her prerequisite courses, work as a spin instructor, and get her foot into the rehabilitation world as a rehab tech at a local neurological rehab center. The following fall, she was accepted to The University of St. Augustine Health Sciences Doctor of Physical Therapy program in Austin, TX. Yvonne always knew she wanted to specialize in something and found her niche in pelvic health during her orthopedic internship with Northwestern in IL. As a dancer, Yvonne experienced significant pelvic health dysfunction from a very young age and didn’t even know about it! When Yvonne was pregnant with her first child, she experienced multiple complications caused by chronic abdominal and pelvic musculoskeletal restrictions leading to a very long and difficult first labor and birth. Since then, her primary goal as a Pelvic Health Physical Therapist has been to advocate for early education, promote pelvic health physical therapy for mother’s-to-be as well as all postpartum mothers, whether it’s their first for fifthteenth postpartum recovery. Yvonne believes that knowledge is power and educating is her passion! Yvonne now lives with her husband, daughter, two dogs and a cat in Greenville, SC where they enjoy spending time on all the mountains they can find!
