Meet Anna

        Dr. Anna Van den Berghe is a physical therapist and has been a leading director of reputable physical therapy clinics in the Johnson County and Ward Parkway area for the past decade. She graduated from Kansas University with an Exercise Science degree and graduated from the first Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Rockhurst University.  She has served the Kansas City Metro treating physical therapy patients for the past 14 years.  She has enjoyed treating patients of all activity levels-from professional athletes, kids, senior citizens, spine pathologies, headaches, all the way to repetitive stress injuries -Anna has done it all in orthopedics! 

         In addition to her doctoral studies, Anna was accepted into the world-renowned Gift fellowship program of Applied Functional Science to better understand the chain reaction of the human body. This 40-week training allows her to get to the core of patients’ problems versus simply treating symptoms that result in a cycle of relief and relapse. Anna also believes your environment and lifestyle is an extension of your health and wholeness. She therefore took her training further to graduate from the Deepak Chopra center’s Total Health teachers’ program. She has been trained by the Chopra Center’s Board-certified integrative health physicians to teach on the topics of nutrition, meditation, transformational Life Coaching and self-care. These teachings were targeted for healthy gene expression/disease prevention, aging gracefully, gut health, obtaining a healthy weight naturally, how to achieve healing and rejuvenating sleep and so much more!

         In her spare time, Anna enjoys physical activity in nature-the trails, the mountains, the beach, etc. A true animal lover, she enjoys running and hiking with her husband and 4 dogs.  An exercise enthusiast-she’ll rarely miss a day of cycling or pass up a good boot camp or dance class. She has created and taught dance and boot camp classes for the community as well served as an assistant taekwondo instructor. Dedicated to lifelong learning, you can readily catch her reading the latest literature on health and well-being.  She believes health and wellness restores energy and rejuvenates the body to be better prepared for our day-to-day lives.

Anna's biggest “Aha!” moment was understanding what is ultimately healthiest for us as an individual, happens to be what creates a happier and healthier planet for us all.
