What Is Pelvic Health Physical Therapy?
Did you know that the pelvic floor is the foundation of all human movement? Before you breath, reach, or take a step, your pelvic floor (a collection of muscles located on the bottom of your pelvis) is the very first group of muscles to activate in anticipation of your every action. As the foundation of movement, these muscles intimately influence every vital function in your body - from breathing and sexual function, to athletic performance and posture.
You may know that your foot bone is connected to your leg bone...but the pelvic floor is connected to EVERYTHING! It is very possible that your nagging shoulder pain or low back pain is stemming from your pelvis. AND it is also very likely that your pelvic floor has not been assessed in a traditional physical therapy clinic. This is why having a Pelvic Health PT in your corner can literally change the game and transform your life!
At Core 4 Healing and Wellness, we specialize in a whole body approach that incorporates the vital functions of the pelvic floor. We work with motivated and active individuals who want to feel confident in their bodies and leave pain and dysfunction in the past. Taking a team approach, we'll work together to address your problem and get you back to doing the the activities that you love, whether that be playing with your children or running a marathon!
Birth Prep & Prenatal Care
Do you know how to prepare your body for labor and delivery? Labor and delivery is a big athletic event for the body - it's like a marathon. If you were running a marathon, you wouldn't show up to the starting line without training to win the race, right? Preparing for L&D is the same way! Pregnancy is the perfect opportunity to prepare your body for the great athletic feat of bringing a new life into the world and creating a birthing strategy so you can head into that birthing room with a plan for success! We're going for gold, and the prize is you and your baby having a healthy delivery experience!
Schedule a FREE 20 minute discovery call to learn more about preparing your body for labor and delivery. Highly recommended for pregnant mommas and their partners.
Postpartum Recovery & Care
Did you know that postpartum begins when you have a baby and lasts the rest of your life? Did you also know that it is NEVER too late to address pelvic floor or core issues, even if you had your babies 10, 30, or 50 years ago? After giving birth, it is common for dysfunctions/weakness that the body has been compensating for for years, to bubble up to the surface. Issues such as incontinence, pain, or just feeling out of touch with your body may leave you feeling confused and frustrated. You may feel like your body is broken or is working against you. This is NOT true! Your body is always for you and the symptoms that you are experiencing is your body's way fo trying to communicate that it needs help! Give your body the help it needs by booking a call!

What Our Clients Are Saying
”
The knowledge Julia provided was astounding. It blew me away, and I told her on many occasions that I think every woman who gives birth should be required to see a pelvic floor therapist before being discharged from the hospital!
In fact, every woman should schedule a Pelvic Floor PT consult regardless of her birthing situation; there is SO much to learn about our bodies.
I’m 49 and have been breathing wrong my entire life! Julia had to reteach me this basic life function in addition to many other things. I cannot say enough about her and this specific type of PT.

As a mother of 4 who has experienced the many frustrating symptoms from pelvic floor weakness, I wish that I had been educated YEARS ago about the simple yet effective therapy methods for strengthening my pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic floor physical therapy should be a routine part of postpartum recovery for every woman! Way too many women think they just have to accept a "new normal" with pelvic floor dysfunction after childbirth. Our bodies can fully recover and be stronger than ever!
Julia is seriously my hero. After just a few sessions with her, I felt empowered and equipped to work towards healing. Her passion and expertise for helping women learn and heal is truly inspiring. Julia's professionalism and warm and cheerful personality put my mind at ease right away. I highly recommend spending time learning from this amazing woman. Your body will thank you too!

”
After undergoing multiple orthopedic surgeries and birthing three children, my core just felt “off.”
A pelvic health therapy evaluation proved to be the missing link! The eval gave a very clear picture of exactly what was going on, and I left with a complete treatment plan.
Within a week I felt a difference in my core and also felt noticeably stronger in daily activities.
Julia is compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional. I would highly recommend Julia to anyone struggling with any pelvic issue. She is THE BEST!
