We do things differently here.
A compassionate, integrative approach to pelvic floor physical therapy.
The typical model for pelvic floor physical therapy is a profit-driven, “quick-cure” model that often reduces patients to their medical chart or current diagnosis. There’s no place for complex chronic conditions. We believe we can do so much better.
The standard, one-dimensional approach to pelvic floor physical therapy leads to so many patients falling through the cracks.
Like the high-achieving executive who requires comprehensive, consistent pelvic floor PT to keep her chronic pain and endometriosis in check, who passed from provider to provider because her condition did not have an “expiration date.”
Or the man who lives with chronic bowel issues, improved only by having regular pelvic floor physical therapy that takes an integrative, whole-body approach.
Or the young woman who had developed severe dyspareunia from past trauma. Her insurance covered six weeks of pelvic floor physical therapy. Her symptoms have improved dramatically—thanks to five years of dedicated, consistent pelvic floor physical therapy.
Treating the whole person,
not just the pelvis.
FAQs
-
Your pelvic floor muscles help stabilize your pelvis and spine; support the uterus, bladder, prostate, and rectum; assist with sexual function; and maintain bowel and bladder control. By working with a physical therapist who specializes in the pelvic floor, you can directly target any tightness, weakness, or tension caused by injury, trauma, or chronic illness that is inhibiting your functional well-being.

Integrative dry needling the use of acupuncture needles into a muscle to help it feel better. It is a gentle approach designed to support the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems of the body.

We are experts in all the traditional pelvic floor physical therapy modalities—cupping, manual therapy, integrative dry needling, myofascial release, muscle energy techniques, visceral mobilizations. But we also bring a whole-body approach to treatment, like understanding the gut-brain connection, the emotional function of the pelvic floor, trauma-informed medicine, and more.
As providers, we also understand on a personal level what it’s like to manage chronic pain and difficult diagnoses, balancing hope with realism. We’re here to help more than just your pelvic floor. We want to improve your entire well-being.

There’s a reason other practices can book patients quickly: Their standard of care is often simply—unfortunately!—not very high. We often have patients come to Restore after having a poor experience with another provider. While we know it can be difficult to wait for treatment, it’s worth finding a caring, experienced provider who will be committed to your wellbeing for the long haul.
