About

I am a licensed physical therapist and certified yoga therapist specializing in women’s health, pelvic health, and pain management. I was fortunate to receive my doctorate in physical therapy from Northwestern University where I completed my final clinical internship in pelvic health. Pelvic health physical therapy is a specialized field that helps many women recover from symptoms related to bladder, bowel, and sexual health as well as pelvic pain across a woman’s lifespan . My approach to care is integrative and lifestyle focused. In every session I address physical symptoms as well as high stress levels, insomnia, and dysregulated emotional health through the integration of physical therapy with yoga therapy. I understand that addressing the body holistically results in long-term sustainable health. I believe you can embody health and move pain-free with compassionate care, gentle guidance, and support along the way. Dana Podell Physical Therapy & Yoga LLC started when Dr. Dana Podell decided to step away from the corporate PT structure so that she could have more time with her patients to deliver the best care possible. Since Dr. Dana Podell's approach to care is unique and patient focused she knew that the best way for her to give the highest quality of care was to open her own business and a create a nurturing space for her patients to heal.

Dana has been an invaluable resource throughout my pregnancy! As a pelvic floor physical therapist, she seamlessly integrates psychoeducation, yoga, and mindfulness into each session. Her holistic approach made it easy to incorporate practical strategies into my daily routine. I’m so grateful for her support and look forward to returning for postpartum care!

Dana's sessions are very helpful and personalized which means they are great to be part of your everyday exercise routine. I started to notice some physical/mental improvements after two/three sessions since I started, and I have been maintaining my practice day to day. The sessions are gradually built up with each session slightly different and adding more contents, but she balanced the practice very well for you to practice at your own pace. I'd recommend to anyone looking for personalized and restorative yoga practice.

I have been seeing Dana Podell for three months now and her practice has truly changed the quality of my day to day life. Dana is incredibly knowledge and because of her I have overcome my pain. I began treatment for my back pain in L5 S1, I was dealing with constant discomfort and sharp occurred when walking. Each session was purposeful and progressive, and each time I left feeling better and my pain decreased after each session. The myofascial release technique used alleviated my pain. I feel genuinely cared for in the hands of Dana’s practice. Her knowledge and expertise are too thank for my relive.
