“Pelvic health treatment can be sensitive and vulnerable, but Chelsea has made me nothing but comfortable since the first day I met her.

I suffered from lower back issues for most of my adult life, and the general advice from people I saw was that I simply needed to stretch more. During the pandemic, the pain became something that I was constantly thinking about and negotiating my life around, so I decided to make a serious change. I saw something on a message board about pelvic health and how it can relate to your back, and a friend referred me to Chelsea. Chelsea worked with me each week with great care and thoroughness as we tried to figure out the cause of my pain and find relief. I’ve now been working with her for 6 months, and my pain has significantly improved. I am still on my journey, but I’m at a place now where if I stick to my exercises each morning, I have almost no pain. I recently went on a 2 week international trip (which previously would have caused lots of pain from sitting on planes and being out of my normal routine), and I was completely fine. No pain, and so much gratitude! Thank you Chelsea!

“I’d been having trouble with UTIs and back pain for such a long time, and literally tried everything—urologists, gynecologists, doctors. I had doubts that my issue could be solved with PT because it almost always felt like it was something happening inside my body. Yet when I went to a number of doctors and none could pinpoint my issue, I finally gave in to the idea of trying physical therapy and I have no regrets!

It was Kristin who explained that I may be having trouble with my pelvic floor or some muscles in my lower back or pelvis area. Kristin is a great listener, and I know a lot more about my body because of her. I didn’t know that I had the number of muscles that I do. I also didn’t know that the tightness or overworking of certain muscles would contribute to me experiencing an ongoing pain that has bothered me for months, if not a full year.

Kristin shows real care and concern for women with pelvic floor issues, and this made me even more hopeful that we would figure out what my issue is and how to resolve it. She taught me a number of stretches such as the child’s pose, bridges etc which are all manageable for me and my body type but still very simple and easy to do even whilst at work, home or at the park with the kids I take care of. I was always afraid to over exert myself physically but Kristin explained the stretches in great detail, she explained their benefits and the exact muscle which it triggered and what that muscles job is.

I appreciate Kristin making me feel comfortable about my body. In the past, health care providers have made me uncomfortable when they’ve commented on my weight and how my issue is probably weight related. I did not experience this with Kristin, she has a great bedside manner and made me feel listened to as well as supported. She expressed that she’s always readily available to discuss anything related to my symptoms and has always been just a text message away.

I have recommended Kristin to others, especially those struggling with pelvic and lower back pain. These days a lot of women complain about having frequent UTIs symptoms, and they have no idea why. I’ve advised them that they should try PT with Kristin to perhaps rule out if it could be pelvic floor related as she has a great amount of knowledge on the subject. ”

“I would definitely recommend Kristin as a physical therapist. She is that rare blend of someone who really knows what they are doing and really cares about making a difference in her patient’s health and wellness.

I was diagnosed with a pinched nerve from a running injury and required specialized pelvic floor therapy. The results have been wonderful. Within three months, my symptoms reduced to a fraction of what they were, and I am able to begin ultra running again. After multiple doctors, physical therapists, and massage therapists I had begun to lose hope that non-surgical treatment could work. Kristin’s deep expertise and treatments helped to steer my overall care in the right direction and made one of the biggest contributions to my recovery. I appreciated that Kristin took a holistic approach including rest, massage, self-care guidance, and exercise. She explained different aspects of my condition and taught me how to have the body-awareness I needed to make the most of my therapy.”
