At Reclaim Your Life, we specialize in pelvic floor health and wellness coaching for women with chronic pelvic floor tension and pain. We provide long-term solutions to problems with peeing, pooping, penetration, pain, pregnancy, and perimenopause without medications, injections, or surgeries. We offer health coaching virtually, so you get lasting relief from the comfort of your own home.
You deserve to be heard.
Pelvic floor issues are often dismissed by the medical community as “normal” (they aren’t), the result of aging or childbirth, or permanent problems that you have to live with. You deserve a provider who listens, understands, and knows how to heal your pelvic floor symptoms with lasting solutions—not short-term band aids and generic protocols.
You deserve to feel seen.
At Reclaim Your Life, we take a thoroughly individualized approach to address not only your symptoms, but your current activity level and your goals. A CrossFitter with previous pregnancies is going to have a very different profile from a marathoner who hasn’t given birth, even if they have the same symptoms. Your treatment will not look the same, and it shouldn’t! You are an individual person, not just a pelvis. We embrace you, not just your symptoms, in order to help you truly heal.
You deserve consistency.
At Reclaim Your Life, you will be seen by the same provider for every visit. No recaps or re-explaining your history--one therapist, from evaluation to completion of your treatment.
You deserve excellent care.
Your first appointment includes a thorough history and a holistic examination. You will leave your first appointment with a complete understanding of what is causing your problems and a roadmap to fixing them for good.
Book an appointment today to get the care (and relief!) that you deserve.
Get relief from pelvic pain.
Whether it’s pain with sex, pain with orgasm, pain with sitting, pain with tight pants, pain with menstruation, or another type of pain in the pelvis, we can help you conquer your pelvic pain.
Stop leaking for good.
You don’t have to avoid running, jumping or lifting weights for life. You can learn how to sneeze, cough, and laugh without crossing your legs. With proper treatment, you can get to the bathroom without rushing and can hold your urine until you have time to go—without needing a pad!
Have easy, regular bowel movements.
No more incontinence, no more smearing, no more uncontrollable gas or chronic constipation. Just healthy bowels that move regularly without the need for straining, laxatives, “smooth move” tea, or enemas.
Enjoy pregnancy without pain.
Find relief from hip pain, back pain, pelvic pressure, and lax joints without abandoning your daily activities. Prepare for birth confidently!
Recover postpartum without delay.
Heal your scars, strengthen your pelvic floor, and experience confidence in your core—even if you have complications, abdominal separation, or prolapse.
We provide hour-long 1:1 sessions, instead of rushing appointments or juggling multiple clients. Some providers see multiple patients at the same time, or have 30 to 45 minute appointments. At Reclaim Your Life, we always spend a full hour with you, and never double book.
We provide consistency and keep you with the same provider, instead of rotating you between providers or having an aide guide you through exercises. Many clinics use aides or assistants to guide you through your exercises without providing professional care or ongoing assessment. At Reclaim Your Life, the same doctor of physical therapy sees and assesses you at every visit to ensure you meet your goals as efficiently as possible.
We do a full body exam instead of limiting your exam to the pelvic floor. While some providers base diagnosis on a pelvic exam alone, we also assess your core bracing strategies, ability to squat, jump, run, lift, and other important movements that bring on your symptoms.
We treat in the privacy of your own home. While many providers treat in busy clinics, we provide virtual services in order to make sure that you have privacy and the ability to relax during your appointment.
We take a holistic approach to your care, instead of hyper-focusing on the musculoskeletal system. At Reclaim Your Life, we account for the role of your fascial system and nervous system in the function of your pelvic floor. While many providers focus strictly on fixing your muscular impairments, we also treat your fascial and nervous systems to enhance and speed up your recovery.
We individualize your treatment to your activity level and goals, instead of using cookie cutter protocols. Our patients who play tennis have a different set of goals than our CrossFit patients, so we provide tailored treatment.
We are nervous system experts. While most providers focus on the physical impairments, we consider the role of your nervous system in your symptoms and provide tools to regulate your nervous system alongside pelvic floor treatment.
We embrace your athleticism and help you maintain activity, instead of encouraging you to stop or avoid activity. While many providers will encourage you to stop exercise or avoid certain activities, we understand the importance of maintaining activity and embracing your sport during rehab.
We help you get back to high-level activities, instead of beginning and ending your rehab doing table exercises. Some providers only prescribe pelvic exercises and ignore functional activities like jumping rope, running distances, or lifting weights—even if these are their patients’ goals. At Reclaim Your Life, we bridge the gap from pelvic exercises to your highest level goals to make sure you can live the life you enjoy, symptom free.
We specialize in complex conditions, including hypermobility, POTS, post-viral syndromes, and other conditions that overwhelmingly affect women and often coincide with pelvic pain. The complexities that made your treatment difficult with previous providers is exactly what we focus on--and what sets your treatment with Reclaim Your Life apart. Your plan will account for flares, shifting needs, and fluctuations in energy that are standard with these conditions (but not in most rehab programs). We don't shy from the complexity, we work with you to make a plan that works for YOU.
We treat all of the common conditions that coincide with pelvic floor issues, instead of ignoring your non-pelvic pain. While many pelvic providers see only pelvic floor patients, we also treat related conditions including headaches, plantar fasciitis, and low back pain. At Reclaim Your Life, we can heal all of these problems in one place, with a single program that addresses them all.
Functional Movement Assessment
Identify any movement dysfunctions, imbalances, or limitations that may contribute to pain, injury risk, or compromised performance. By evaluating how different parts of the body work together and identifying any movement compensations or asymmetries, the assessment can provide insights into potential areas for improvement or targeted interventions.
Strength and Conditioning
Targeted training to achieve your goals and improve your movement patterns. This includes long-term exercise plans that are effective and enjoyable.
Fascia Mobilization
Fascia is the connective tissue that is implicated in most muscle pain. This connective tissue can get “stuck” and cause aches and pains, including muscle “knots.” Our techniques include instrument-assisted self-mobilization (e.g. using a tennis ball or book) to actively release tight areas and specific exercises that mobilize the fascia to improve flexibility, reduce pain, and improve movement patterns.
Pelvic Floor Health
Pelvic floor health coaching is aimed at assessing and treating various conditions related to the pelvic floor, such as pelvic pain, urinary or fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, sexual dysfunction, and postpartum musculoskeletal issues. It involves a comprehensive evaluation to identify any dysfunctions or imbalances.
Treatment in pelvic floor physical therapy may include targeted exercises to strengthen or relax the pelvic floor muscles, biofeedback techniques to improve awareness and control of these muscles, manual therapy to release muscle tension or trigger points, education on proper bladder and bowel habits, and lifestyle modifications to support pelvic health.
Women’s Health Coaching
Personalized assessment and guidance through pregnancy, post-partum, and peri-menopause to improve health, reduce pain, increase libido, and improve every aspect of your life. This can include optimizing nutrition, increasing strength and resilience, addressing stress, and enhancing intimacy.
Rehabilitation
When an orthopedic injury or surgery occurs, there can be disruption or damage to the neuromuscular system that results in muscle weakness, loss of coordination, altered movement patterns, and impaired proprioception (your sense of your body’s position and movement). Rehabilitation helps address these issues and facilitate the restoration of optimal movement and function. Reclaim Your Life Training focuses on motor control, coordination, stability, balance, and body mechanics for optimal movement.
SST (Sport-Specific Training)
Sport-specific movement analysis and training includes repetitive movements like running, throwing, and jumping with video analysis and corrective techniques to reduce the risk of injury.
Nervous System Training
Nervous System Training is a subset of therapies that uses body awareness, breathwork, and movement to reduce stress and tension. Techniques include grounding, container work (self-massage), breathing techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, guided meditation, and yoga-based movement therapy for sensory integration. Nervous system training can help with chronic pain, headaches, and muscle tension.
