Amy set out to create a new type of practice which would take a holistic approach to the patient's entire well being. She envisioned various professions working together to improve the patient's quality of life.

In 2003, this vision became Beyond Basics Physical Therapy in New York City, which has a primary focus on Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Pelvic Pain and manual therapy in men, women and children. In the office there are 5 physical therapists, a yoga instructor and an acupuncturist of whom all specialize in the treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction and women's health. Their website is www.beyondbasicsphysicaltherapy.com, which gives an even further description of the role of physical therapy and pelvic floor dysfunction.
