Mary Beth Thompson, PT, PRPC

I graduated with a BS in Biology from SUNY Binghamton (1987) & a BS in Physical Therapy from Upstate Medical Center at Syracuse (1989). I have worked in a variety of settings including acute rehab focusing on neurological conditions, outpatient orthopedics, home health, and acute care hospital. I’m an old dame and have been everywhere! Late to the game in Pelvic Floor Rehab (2016) when my hospital’s outpatient PT department decided to start a pelvic floor program, I enthusiastically wanted the challenge to do something new. I whipped through the Herman & Wallace courses (who hasn’t taken PF1 and thought “wow, I learned so much but there’s so much to know!”).

At Inova Alexandria Hospital, I provide general and neurological physical therapy, Breast Cancer Rehabilitation but mostly Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation. Love treating both adult women and men for Pelvic Floor issues. I’m an APTA clinical Instructor, a Herman & Wallace Teaching Assistant promoted to Lead TA and received the Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certification (PRPC). When I TA, I truly love the look on an HW participant’s face when they “get it”.

A native New Yorker, I have lived in Alexandria, Virginia for 30 years, have two amazing adult daughters, a Brooklynite husband, and love to host Friday night happy hours, hike, bike to work, swim, and create a garden oasis in my backyard.
