Services
I have been a PT and health practitioner for 18 years, specializing in pelvic health for the past 5 years. All of my services offer a complex integration of these skills. They are not just limited to solely the pelvic floor. Very often, there is also hip and back pain as a component, and sometimes underlying or pre-existing conditions (bloating, digestion, IBS, reflux, stress, breathing) that also affect the pelvic floor. I believe that you need and should be able to move and do what you want. There are so many things in our lifestyle that can feed into our pain, and I love to use a full body and functional approach to address the complexity of our bodies.
Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain is such a broad category. It occurs in both males and females, and can be acute, chronic or traumatically brought on. As a physical therapist, I love pain. I love to help people in pain. I know that pelvic foor therapy can be intimidating, overwhelming and scary and I try to do anything I can to make it anything but that. My treatments meet you at your pain levels, hands on or hands off. Starting with an external approach as needed, and working towards internal assessments depending on the person.
Prenatal Services
How do you feel right now? Are you sleeping? Can you do what you want? Do you have pain? Do you feel confident about your labor and delivery? I use my orthopedic, pelvic health and doula training to prepare you physically and mentally for your entire pregnancy as well as labor and delivery. This can include maintaining fitness levels, pain free work and home life, care for other children, perineal stretching and a plan for early post-partum.
Postpartum Services
How are YOU? How was your labor and delivery? How is your baby doing? Are they sleeping? Are you sleeping? Nursing? A postpartum visit is about you. It is so important that you return to exactly what you want to do. You should not be leaking urine or having pain with intercourse. You should be able to return to full previous activity levels and lifestyle without any symptoms. Return to running or HIIT workout programs, pelvic floor evaluation, diastatis recti, restoring core strength and everything in between. I will evaluate and treat anything orthopedically or pelvic health related that is keeping you from returning to 100%.
Return To Running
Whether it is postpartum (vaginal or cesarean birth), hysterectomy, prostatectomy or any other abdominal surgery or orthopedic issues, returning to running or full fitness levels can be intimidating, symptomatic and painful. By incorporating a thorough orthopedic and pelvic floor functional approach, I can help you to fully restore core and hip girdle strength and flexibility, as well as breathing and loading patterns to ensure safe, pain and symptom free running.
Perimenopause / Menopause Health Coaching
As a Certified Menopause Practitioner, the first question I am always asked is if I prescribe hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and I do not. I use a holistic and functional approach, to improve your overall body balance to reduce (or resolve) symptoms; or to work in conjunction with HRT for better results. I address any pelvic health or orthopedic symptoms limiting fitness goals, sexual health, digestion, constipation, bloating or urinary leakage. Creating a fitness and lifestyle plan to optimize core strength, weight management, bone, cardiovascular and overall health.
