Our History
Founded by Dr. Ginger Garner, Garner Pelvic Health relocated to the historic Revolution Mill in Greensboro in 2019 after 21 years on the coast in North Carolina. From the Crystal Coast to the Piedmont Triad and beyond, patients and professionals alike seek out Dr. Garner for both her professional education and her personalized, unique approach to physical therapy and mindfulness-based care.
Dr. Garner started her first clinic in 2000 after treating people with chronic pain with yoga and realizing how much more effective it was than physical therapy alone. In 2004 she stopped accepting insurance because they were regularly denying care to her patients with chronic pain. Instead she opened one of the first physical therapy-yoga hybrid studios in the US, where she was able to offer lower priced care that reached more people, and was less burdensome in cost to the system and the patient.
She went on to author 2 bestselling textbooks and is now an internationally sought-after speaker and educator, known for her trailblazing work in Integrative & Lifestyle Medicine in Physical Therapy and Medical Therapeutic Yoga, as well as Voice to Pelvic Floor Care. Dr. Garner’s clinical expertise focuses on integrative care for voice to pelvic floor issues including endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence, performing arts (voice, dance, and instrumentalists), post hip arthroscopy rehab, and sacroiliac joint pain.
Garner Pelvic Health is known for its ability to tackle complex cases in pelvic health and orthopedics, and regularly engages in state and federal policy creation, therapist mentorship & training, and welcoming out of state patients struggling with unique injuries. She has now built a team of world class therapists at GPH; and is proud to be able to offer across the lifespan care – including preventative and wellness care.
