Meet Anastasia Palaia, PT, DPT, CFMT.
Anastasia Palaia is a Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in the holistic care of active men and women. After receiving her doctorate from Shenandoah University, she completed a three year residency through the Institute of Physical Art, where she learned advanced hands-on techniques that effectively and efficiently reduce pain, restore function, and enhance performance.
As a Certified Functional Manual Therapist with additional training in visceral mobilization through the Barral Institute, Anastasia takes a comprehensive, whole-body approach to evaluation and treatment—looking beyond isolated symptoms to identify and address the underlying drivers of dysfunction.Anastasia’s expertise extends into the nuanced world of pelvic health. She is an experienced pelvic floor therapist and a Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist who is passionate about treating both women and men with pelvic, sexual, and visceral dysfunction.
Her work spans everything from bowel and bladder issues to pain with intimacy, fertility challenges, and recovery from childbirth. She is especially devoted to helping women across the lifespan feel empowered in their bodies, guiding them through prenatal and postnatal rehab, and supporting them in returning to—and thriving in—their athletic pursuits.
A skilled movement analyst and problem-solver, Anastasia is known for her ability to connect the dots between seemingly unrelated symptoms and deliver lasting, meaningful results. She has worked extensively with professional and amateur athletes, dancers, yogis, martial artists, runners, and strength athletes of all levels. Her approach is grounded in the belief that prevention, education, and full-body integration are essential to health and performance—not just placing a "band-aid" over isolated problem areas.
In 2022, Anastasia opened her clinic, Foundations Physical Therapy, with the mission of delivering truly personalized, attentive care. She is committed to helping each client realize their highest physical potential by identifying root causes, restoring balance, and optimizing the body’s ability to move, heal, and perform at its best.
