Bonnijane Monson, DPT
Bonnijane Monson, DPT, is a physical therapist who has specialized in pelvic health for almost a decade. Her blending of western traditional therapy techniques and non-traditional methods have earned her a reputation as one of the most knowledgeable and open-minded physical therapists in her region.
“I started down this road because of my experience with significant post-partum trauma. The experience forced me to look into non-traditional methods of healing. My exploration of these methods led me down a road of blending the physical therapy principles that I learned and studied in school and in clinics with the methods that I had started discovering under the guidance of teachers and literature. My desire shifted from wanting to treat the physical symptoms to treating the entire person when they walked into my clinic. Someone with knee pain doesn’t just need their knee looked at; I have to look at their entire body, their history of emotional and physical trauma, their mind-body connections, the way they view themselves and the world. I have to view them as an entire individual. Going through this journey of growth and challenging my own beliefs has led me closer to being the type of therapist that I’ve always wanted to be. One that can help others heal from within.”
Graduating Brigham Young University in 2007 with a Bachelor’s in Athletic Training, Bonnijane went on to earn her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Utah in 2010. Bonnijane completed an internship at Duke University focused on women’s health and then went on to be mentored by one of the leading women’s health physical therapists in northern California for more than two years. Bonnijane returned to the University of Utah as a Women’s Health therapist, where she helped to grow their Pelvic Health program significantly.
Bonnijane is a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy in Utah. She is also certified in trigger-point dry needling, Cellular Release Therapy (CRT), and Advanced Level P-DTR Therapy. She is trained in visceral mobilization, NueroKinetic Therapy (NKT), Graston Technique, and other advanced pelvic health-specific training.
Bonnijane is married and is the mother of two small children. She lives on the bench of the Wasatch Front, so she has easy access to the local mountains. She enjoys hiking, biking, soccer, and anything outdoors she can find time for. Between discovering the state and national parks of Utah, chasing toddlers, continuing her education surrounding healing, and her meditative practices, Bonnijane considers herself a busy (but balanced) practitioner.
