FIRST, LET'S COVER WHAT WE WILL *NEVER* do:

• tell you you can't (do, play, participate, etc.)

• forget who you are and why you're here

• make assumptions

• watch you do boring exercises on a table for an hour

• give you an ice pack and sit you in the corner 

• get out our cookbook and give you the same treatment as everyone else

• say "never" (*ok, except for this list of what we will NEVER do)

​

Okayyy, now that that's out of the way...Let's GET TO IT!

 

WHAT WE EXCEL AT HELPING YOU WITH:

• your goals

• recovering from injury, surgery, and flare-ups and tweaks with evidence-based interventions specific to your individual needs, including functional movement and strengthening

• overcoming fear of pain and injury so that you may move forward into a life with fitness

• prevention (crazy concept, right?)

• DIGGING DEEP...have you had a cranky hammy or low back pain for as long as you can remember? That's long enough. Let's look at you as a WHOLE PERSON and find the actual root.

• Being you.  Just as you are. Which means getting you back to doing the things you love.

• DISCOVERING STRENGTH. It's in there. Maybe you haven't felt it for a while (or ever?)...maybe you're struggling to get back into higher-intensity workouts...pushing for a PR...or just want to feel strong again after an injury or pregnancy or whatever.  Let's get at it. 

• LIVING IT UP.  When you feel healthy and strong, you're unstoppable in all other realms. You don't stop at status quo and neither do we.  You nailed phase 1 of your goals. What's next?

​

HOW DO WE DO ALL THIS?

• Aside from years and years of education, clinical practice, specialization in Pelvic Health, and participating in ONLY the best of the best when it comes to cutting-edge continuing education skills and tools for Doctors of Physical Therapy...we've got a few other things going for us that we value just as much:

  • experience being an athlete (the good, the bad, and the ugly)​

  • experience being a birthing parent (same)

  • experience working all over the country/world with different people and different cultures (hence...honor and respect for the unique beauties of all humans)

  • experience being a queer person in this world who has had numerous demeaning experiences within the medical community

  • experience leading with compassion first, always
