As a Crossfit athlete, I was struggling with leakage during exercise in my second trimester of pregnancy. I worked with Jackie and learned the impacts of the pelvic floor on so many aspects of my daily life. During and after my pregnancy, I can feel and work my pelvic floor more effectively. We also worked on preparing for birth, which made me feel confident in my body!

Pelvic floor therapy is so much more than kegels (they can make matters worse for many!).
If you’re tired of being tossed from doctor to doctor for ongoing pain and dysfunction, googling “exercises for diastasis recti,” or accepting that leaking when you sneeze is your new normal - There is help and there is hope for you.
Ready to get started? Here’s how pelvic floor therapy works.
Step 2:
Build a customized action plan for recovery
Your physical therapist will build a plan to reach your goals, with expert-guided recommendations, a follow-up plan, and customized home program to support you between sessions- so you are never left to figure it out on your own.
Step 1:
Schedule your initial in-person evaluation
We discuss your symptoms and goals in depth, identify the root cause of your pelvic floor problems, and finally connect the dots between all of your symptoms (YES- your leaking and chronic hip pain are related!)
Step 3:
1:1 Follow Up Plan of Care
Each one-hour session will include specialized treatments like manual therapies, dry needling, and exercise programming with a doctor of physical therapy (no more rehab techs in a crowded gym) to fine-tune your progress, make adjustments to your program, and help you finally get lasting relief.
