Pelvic Health

I specialize in gentle, trauma-informed pelvic health care.

Blending advanced orthopedic assessment with mind‑body strategies to restore function, reduce pain, and help you get back to meaningful activities.

Treatment Areas

urinary concerns: urgency, frequency, stress urinary incontinence, incomplete emptying.
pain around the tailbone or pubic bone, and discomfort in the vulva or vagina.
Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction: weakness, overactivity, coordination issues, and breath‑related dysfunction.
many changes can happen during pregnancy and postpartum, commonly: diastasis recti, pelvic girdle pain, bladder/bowel symptoms, scar tissue mobility challenges.
See pregnancy & postpartum page for more information.
Prolapse support: education, symptom management, strength and support strategies, activity guidance.
movement patterns that link pelvic floor function with posture, breathing, and functional tasks.

Comprehensive assessment

Movement and posture screen, breathing and diaphragmatic function, hip and lumbar mobility, and functional task analysis.
Pelvic floor evaluation using external and an optional internal assessment to understand muscle tone, coordination, and pain generators.

Individualized treatment plans
- Short, practical home programs that fit busy routines and respect fatigue, sleep disruption, and parenting demands.
- Blend of manual therapy, gentle loading and graded exposure, breath and relaxation training, and progressive strengthening.
Trauma‑informed and person‑centered care
- Clear, collaborative consent at every step, language you control, and options to pause or decline internal exams.
Education and self‑management tools
- Practical strategies for bladder habits, scar care, sleep‑friendly routines, and breaking activity into small, manageable steps.
- Pain neuroscience education and gradual return‑to‑movement plans tied to real life goals (carrying kids, hiking, returning to work).
Longer‑term support and resources
- Follow‑up plans, progress tracking, referrals to other providers when needed.

No referral needed—Connecticut law gives you direct access to physical therapy. You can book anytime.

I operate out-of-network to provide the highest quality care without restrictions.

PPO plans: Many PPO plans in CT offer out of network benefits, which means you may be eligible for partial reimbursement after receiving care.
HSA/FSA: Accepted.
HMO plans: These plans generally do not reimburse for out-of-network care, but many patients still choose to see me for the high-quality, specialized care I provide.
Accessible Care for All
- I believe healing should be accessible. I offer sliding scale options for those navigating financial hardship or limited insurance coverage. If cost is a barrier, please reach out—I’m happy to explore flexible solutions together.
