Dr. Amy Novotny

Dr. Amy Novotny founded the PABR Institute™ in 2018 with the mission to provide pain, stress and anxiety relief to those who seek a naturalistic form of treatment when other treatment methods have fallen short. Her unique approach comes from her experience treating in a variety of settings and with a wide range of patient populations over the past 10 years. Her background in orthopedics, sports, geriatrics, balance disorders, nerve injuries, and most recently, chronic pain; and influences from coursework at the Postural Restoration Institute gave her the foundation to develop this treatment method to address a wide variety of painful and restrictive conditions. These techniques have helped countless clients cancel scheduled orthopedic surgeries, including knee replacements, disc herniation removal and fusions in the neck and low back, rotator cuff tear repairs, and ACL tear reconstructions. She co-authored an Amazon #1 Best-Selling book Don’t Quit: Stories of Persistence, Courage and Faith, which shares her journey on how and why she developed the PABR Method™. Her ability to speak French and Spanish has allowed her to communicate with and help various clients from all around the world, including France, Mexico, Central America and South America. Dr. Amy now works with clients one-on-one in her office or virtually online and presents around the US to various mastermind meetings, corporate wellness meetings, and business seminars to teach others how to gain control over their bodies to eliminate pain and ward off the physical effects of stress and anxiety. She has used this method to stay pain- and injury-free for the later half of her endurance career including 40+ marathons, 10 ultra marathons (including two 100 milers), and an Ironman Triathlon. In her spare time, Dr. Amy volunteers for the nonprofit, Arizona Highways PhotoScapes, and she photographs wildlife and landscapes all over the world that has led to several of her images being being featured in art galleries and chosen as Photos of the Day, most notably National Geographic “Your Shot World Top Photo of the Day. “
