Our Story
At The Pelvic Method, we believe that healing begins with being heard. Our practice was founded to bridge the gap between traditional care and the personalized attention every patient deserves. We understand that pelvic health is deeply personal — and that your symptoms don’t define you.
We created this space to offer compassionate, evidence-based pelvic floor therapy that helps men and women regain confidence, comfort, and control in their daily lives. Whether you’re seeking relief from pain, recovering from surgery, or simply wanting to better understand your body, we’re here to walk beside you each step of the way.
Our Approach
We take a whole-body, whole-person approach to care. Your pelvic floor doesn’t exist in isolation — it’s connected to how you move, breathe, and live. That’s why we look beyond symptoms to find the root causes behind them.
Through detailed evaluation, education, and hands-on treatment, we work together to create a plan that fits your lifestyle and goals. Our sessions are focused, collaborative, and empowering. You’ll leave each visit understanding what’s happening in your body — and what you can do to support your own healing between appointments.

Our Commitment
We know that pelvic health concerns can affect every part of life — physical, emotional, and relational. That’s why we approach every patient with empathy, respect, and honesty. You can expect professional care, open communication, and a safe environment where your comfort always comes first.
Our goal is not only to help you find relief but to equip you with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to thrive long-term. We’re committed to being a lasting resource for your health — through every stage of life.
Our Values
We’re guided by four key values that shape every patient experience:
Compassion
We listen deeply and treat every patient with kindness and understanding.
Accountability
We follow through on our promises and take your care seriously.
Respect
We honor your story, your privacy, and your pace.
Excellence
We pursue the highest standard of care in everything we do.
