Does this sound like you?
You shouldn't have to live like this
You leak when you cough, sneeze, laugh, run, or lift
You've been told this is "just normal after kids" or "part of aging"
Intimacy is uncomfortable or painful
You feel pressure, heaviness, or like something's "off"
Constipation or bowel issues keep coming back
You've tried exercises before — nothing sticks
You've had symptoms for years and started to accept it
These are common. But they are not something you have to live with — even if you've had them for years.

what patients say
"She helped me with a long-term issue I did not think was fixable. It was! Bonus: I no longer wake multiple times during the night to use the restroom. Her nature is welcoming, authentic, and puts you right at ease."
-melissa
"I've been experiencing pain for over a decade — I thought I would have to live with it my whole life. After just a few sessions my pain level was cut in half if not more. 10/10."
-rebecca
"After my prolapse diagnosis I felt discouraged and fearful — I had stopped exercising and even walking. Dr. Katie educated me, gave me practical tips, and created a program that helped me regain confidence in moving again. I'm back to exercising and walking."
-patti
"I had such a wonderful experience postpartum. She has a wealth of knowledge regarding not only postpartum care but women's health. If you're seeking help and don't know where to go, please contact her."

what patients say
"After two surgeries I could barely walk and my traditional PT wasn't helping. Dr. Katie's deep understanding of body mechanics and muscle activation allowed her to identify issues that had been overlooked. Today I can walk long distances and even hike again — things I never thought would be possible."

what patients say
"Hip pain, back pain, and sciatica. I'd exhausted every avenue — years of PT, chiropractic, an injection — and an orthopedic surgeon recommended surgery. Dr. Katie's approach was very different. I'm hiking again, back at the gym, working in my flower gardens, doing all the things I love. She helped me get my life back."

Your pelvic floor doesn't work in isolation
Your pelvic floor doesn't work in isolation
It's part of a system that includes your core, hips, and low back — and when one area isn't working, the others compensate. That's why pelvic floor symptoms and back pain often show up together, and why treating the whole system matters.

Common questions
common questions
What people ask about orthopedic PT
What people ask about pelvic floor PT
No. Tennessee is a direct-access state, so you can see us without a physician referral.
Do I need a referral?
Most patients who come to us have tried PT before. While many clinics provide great care, our longer one-on-one visits and whole-body approach often help uncover contributing factors that can be missed when the focus stays only on the area of pain or symptoms.
I've already done PT elsewhere — will this be different?
No. For many people, kegels aren't the answer — and can even make symptoms worse. Our approach looks at your whole system: breath, core, hips, and nervous system — not just the pelvic floor muscles.
I've been doing kegels for years — will this just be more of the same?
Yes. Pelvic floor PT during pregnancy can help with pain, prep your body for birth, and make recovery easier. It's safe for any trimester unless your OB says otherwise.
Can I come while I'm pregnant?
You can start as early as a few weeks postpartum with gentle, appropriate care. Most patients begin around 6 weeks, but it's never too late — we work with postpartum bodies months or even years after birth.
When can I start pelvic floor PT after having a baby?
An internal exam can sometimes give us additional information, but it is absolutely not required. We can still learn a lot through external assessment, orthopedic testing, breathwork, movement evaluation, and external palpation — and we’ll always work within your comfort level and with your consent.
