Physical Therapy Services

Pregnancy Physical Therapy
Lightning crotch, back pain, hip pain, and generally not feeling well are common sensations in pregnancy. We are specialists in prenatal physical therapy to help you feel your best.
Specialized pregnancy physical therapy includes treating your pain, giving personalized recommendations for labor and delivery, and preparing you and your body for labor and delivery.
We want you to have your best pregnancy and prepare for an easier labor and delivery.

Pediatric Pelvic Health
Kids have pelvic floors, and need pelvic floor therapy. Often kids who need pelvic floor physical therapy present with urinary leakage during day or night.
We help kids who leak due to constipation, and other reasons.
We help kids who are constipated to regularly use the bathroom. We help kids stop wetting during the day or night. We help kids understand that wetting the bed is not their fault and gain confidence that they can stay dry.

Postpartum Physical Therapy
Pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery are natural life experiences that your body is prepared for, but it is a lot of change in a short time.
We help you enjoy a smoother recovery postpartum by helping you relearn to move without pain or leaking urine, even as you become more active with your baby, work, other children, exercise, and whatever other activities you want to do long term. You should be able to participate in the activities you love while feeling strong in your abs and pelvic floor, and experiencing no pain or leaking urine. We help you do just that.

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
We treat it all! Low back pain, pelvic pain, hip pain, incontinence, pain with sex, chronic pain, weakness, pressure “down there” and constipation are all common complaints, but none are normal. All too often, people are told to just deal with symptoms related to pelvic floor dysfunction, but we help people like you every day.
While you are unique and your symptoms and story are yours only, our therapists are specialists with enough experience that we have seen and helped other clients like you.

We are happy to treat you when you are not experiencing symptoms, to help you continue feeling your best.
