Dr. Kerry Pine was born and raised in Salem, Oregon, and after spending several years in New England she once again calls Salem home. Dr. Pine attended South Salem High School and was involved in both music and dance (ballet, tap, jazz, and choreography). After college, her love of dance developed into a passion for health and wellness and she took up strength training, yoga, and Pilates, becoming a certified personal trainer and Pilates instructor.
Dr. Pine went to Whitman College for undergrad where she studied anthropology and music and then went on to Boston University where she earned a Master’s degree in Forensic Anthropology, and later earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon. Dr. Pine has also worked toward advancing her expertise in treating pregnancy and postpartum conditions by becoming a Certified Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES) to better serve this population.
When not at working as a pelvic health physical therapist, Dr. Pine enjoys playing music, traveling, soaking up as much fresh air as possible, and rediscovering the beauty of the world and her youth through the eyes of her two children.
Extra Tid-Bits about Pelvic Specialty: Dr. Kerry knew upon starting school for physical therapy that she wanted to specialize in pelvic health and have additional training specific to treating this population. She is passionate about pelvic health physical therapy and is an advocate for maternal physical and mental health, having witnessed firsthand a lack of adequate pelvic health education and medical follow-up care for new moms. She enjoys engaging in conversations about the “stuff no one wants to talk about” and loves any opportunity to educate others about pelvic health and wellness.
