DRTZIONA WYNER

DPT | PELVIC FLOOR SPECIALIST

Tziona Wyner, DPT earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Touro College in 2014 and began her career in outpatient orthopedics. In 2016, she took her first pelvic health course through Herman & Wallace, which sparked a deep and lasting interest in women’s health and pelvic floor therapy. Recognizing the close connection between orthopedics and pelvic health, she has since dedicated her clinical work to integrating both specialties.

Her most transformative continuing education has been in Diane Lee’s Integrative Systems Model (ISM). This whole-body approach explores how dysfunction in areas such as the thorax, abdomen, or hips can impact pelvic floor function. Applying this model has allowed Tziona to successfully treat complex cases that have not responded to traditional pelvic floor therapy alone.

In 2023, Tziona founded Empowered PT, a private practice based in Woodmere, NY. Through Empowered PT, she provides compassionate, individualized care to women seeking support in their physical health journeys.

Tziona currently offers physical therapy consultations as well as educational classes for physical therapists. She can be reached by email at tzoniawyner@gmail.com or by phone at 646-893-9224.
