Silence Breaking Movement
Most haven’t heard of pelvic physical therapy. We want to change that & spread the word to stop the often silent suffering of our patients. Our goal is to bring you back to full health, make you raving fans of pelvic therapy, and have you boldly spread the word.
OUR STORY
Founded in 2008 with a vision to have a big impact on people’s lives.
Our clinic began as a rejection of the generalist physical therapy patient mill that tacked on women’s and men’s pelvic therapy treatments – that just didn’t cut it.
People with these often life-debilitating conditions deserve better. They deserve a focused, skillful team of therapists who offer personalized attention to bring them back to health. Hence, Pelvic Therapy Specialists was born.
Today, the clinic’s therapists collaborate with a community network of urologists, gynecologists, general practitioners, pain management physicians, chiropractors, physiatrists, and psychologists—resulting in patients who not only receive a comprehensive treatment plan, but also heal faster.
OUR BIGGER PURPOSE
A MOVEMENT
TO STOP THE SILENT SUFFERING
& EDUCATE.
Most people don’t know about pelvic physical therapy.
As a result, a large part of the population suffers, often in silence.
We are on a mission to change this by boldly bring these sensitive conditions and their treatment options to the forefront.
We embrace our role as advocates for people with pelvic regional diagnoses and are dedicated to educating the community.
OUR PROMISE
We pledge to continue to educate the community and increase public and professional awareness of pelvic pain and dysfunction.
We are committed to increase our knowledge and best practices with various pelvic-related physical therapy skills in order to offer you the highest quality of care.
We will treat you as an individual. Your experience will be as unique as you are so that you never feel like “just another patient” in a patient-mill again.
YOUR THERAPISTS & GUIDES TO HEALTH
Your therapists have extensive and unparalleled pelvic focused training.
Moreover, many of your therapists have personally experienced a number of pelvic symptoms, ranging from pain with intimacy to bladder dysfunction.
They have also experienced similar feelings of isolation, embarrassment, and despair. In fact, it is often these experiences paired with the amazing results of pelvic physical therapy that sparked a lifelong dedication to this rewarding specialty.
