What is pelvic floor therapy?
Fixing bowel, bladder, and sexual function issues!
It is a specialized branch of physical therapy that focuses on assessing and treating pelvic floor dysfunction. This can present as issues like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, diastasis recti, urinary frequency and urgency, constipation, pelvic organ prolapse, and many others.
Also, pelvic floor therapy can be for anyone! Young, old, male, female, pregnant, menopausal, it doesn’t matter: if you have a pelvis, you can have dysfunction!
What will we do in therapy?
No need to be nervous! We will talk about all of your symptoms first and then decide what treatment approach would be best for you. Most of the time we are focusing on either manual therapy for muscle relaxation or strengthening for better stability. We also discuss any necessary life style modifications or different things to try at home.
Other tools we can use during therapy to meet our goals are dry needling and cupping, these can be used for pain, muscle tightness, or even bowel dysfunction!
Stop the fear.
Fuel your confidence.
“It’s normal to leak after you have a baby.”
“Just wear a pad.”
“The pain will go away if you ignore it.’”
You are embarrassed to talk about it. It’s not getting better. You feel all alone and are scared to do the things you love.
It’s time to be yourself again!

Meet Dr. Brittany
Hello everyone! My name is Brittany, I have been a physical therapist for over 6 years and specialized in pelvic floor therapy about 3 years ago. I loved treating orthopedic conditions (back, knee, shoulder, etc) at the start of my career, but once I began learning about pelvic health, I fell in love!
Pelvic floor symptoms usually feel so uncomfortable or embarrassing to talk about, but they really shouldn’t be because that’s all they are, symptoms! Together, we can get to the root of the problem and SOLVE it. That way, the next time you tell someone about the symptoms you once had, you can laugh about it!
When I’m not at work, I am usually spending my time with my amazing husband and two WILD boys. We love to go camping, fishing, hiking, and just about anything outdoors!

What Our
Patients Say
This isn’t your typical healthcare.
We’re not here to rush you in and out.
We’re not working for an insurance company.
We’re not offering you another cookie-cutter approach.
We’re here to help you heal—fully.
Got Questions?
Do you take insurance?
We’re out-of-network, which lets us focus on what’s best for you—not what insurance will cover. You can still submit for reimbursement and we can provide any relevant paperwork you need to do so. We gladly accept FSA/HSA cards.
What if I also have back pain?
Double reason to come in! We regularly treat other bodily issues including neck, back, and shoulder pain, hip and knee dysfunction, chronic pain, and many others. Interestingly enough, low back pain can often times be caused by pelvic floor tension!
Do you perform dry needling?
Yes! Along with cupping, taping, and other manual release techniques, dry needling is often times used in pelvic floor therapy to help promote better tissue quality and facilitate the healing process to get you feeling better!
How many visits will I need?
Most patients see significant changes in 4–6 visits. After that, many patients may choose to come back for monthly maintenance.
