Understand What’s Happening. Move with Confidence Again.

Pelvic pain, pressure, or leakage can make everyday movement—like exercising, lifting, or even walking—feel uncertain. Through one-on-one, specialized pelvic health physical therapy, we help you understand what’s happening and guide you back to comfortable, confident movement.

If Something Feels Off, You’re Not Imagining It

During pregnancy or after childbirth, many women notice changes in how their body feels or moves. You might feel less stable, more uncomfortable, or unsure what’s normal. It’s common to wonder whether these symptoms will go away on their own—or if they’re just something you need to live with. In many cases, they can improve with the right support.

Understand What Your Symptoms May Be Telling You

Many pelvic health symptoms show up in ways that can feel confusing or easy to dismiss. What you’re experiencing may be more common than you think—and often connected to how your pelvic floor and surrounding muscles are functioning.

You might notice urinary leakage when running, jumping, lifting, or even coughing or sneezing—especially when you’re trying to stay active. This often happens when the pelvic floor isn’t coordinating well with the rest of your core, so it can’t manage pressure effectively during movement. It’s common after pregnancy, during postpartum recovery, or when returning to higher-impact activity. Pelvic health therapy focuses on improving how these muscles work together—building strength where needed and retraining coordination and timing. With the right support, many people are able to reduce or eliminate leakage and return to exercise and daily movement with more confidence.

You might feel like you need to urinate more often than usual, or experience a sudden, hard-to-ignore urge that’s difficult to control. This can happen when the pelvic floor muscles and bladder signals aren’t working together smoothly, causing the system to become more reactive or sensitive. It’s often linked to stress, changes in routine, surgery, or periods of increased physical or emotional strain. Pelvic health therapy helps retrain how these muscles and signals work together—improving control, reducing urgency, and calming the system. Over time, many people are able to go longer between bathroom visits and feel more relaxed and in control.

You might notice a sense of heaviness, pressure, or a feeling like something is “dropping” in the pelvis, especially after standing, lifting, or being on your feet for long periods. This can happen when the pelvic floor and surrounding support structures are under strain and not providing the support your body needs. It’s commonly experienced after pregnancy, surgery, or with repeated physical stress over time. Pelvic health therapy focuses on improving support, coordination, and how pressure is managed through your core and pelvis. With the right approach, many people feel more supported and comfortable during movement and daily activity.

You might feel like your core isn’t engaging the way it used to—especially when lifting, exercising, or moving quickly. This often reflects a coordination issue between the pelvic floor, abdominal muscles, and breathing system, rather than just a lack of strength. It’s common after pregnancy, injury, surgery, or periods of reduced activity. Pelvic health therapy helps reconnect these systems, improving how your body stabilizes and responds during movement. As this improves, many people feel more supported, balanced, and confident in their body again.

You may find yourself straining, feeling incomplete after going, or having difficulty with regular bowel movements. This can happen when the pelvic floor muscles aren’t relaxing properly or coordinating well during the process. It’s often linked to muscle tension, habits formed over time, or changes after surgery, childbirth, or stress. Pelvic health therapy focuses on improving muscle relaxation, coordination, and positioning to make bowel movements easier and more efficient. Many people experience less strain, improved regularity, and greater comfort over time.

You might experience pain, discomfort, or a lack of control during or after sexual activity, which can affect both physical comfort and overall confidence. This often relates to how the pelvic floor muscles are functioning—whether they are too tight, not coordinating well, or not providing the right support. These changes can occur after injury, surgery, childbirth, or without a clear starting point. Pelvic health therapy works to improve muscle flexibility, coordination, and control, helping reduce discomfort and restore function. Over time, many people experience improved comfort, confidence, and ease during sexual intercourse.

You may feel sharp pain, muscle spasms, or unusual sensations like tingling or vibration in areas such as the pelvis, vagina or perineum. These symptoms can be confusing and sometimes appear without an obvious cause. They are often related to muscle tension, nerve sensitivity, or how the pelvic floor is responding to stress or past injury. Pelvic health therapy focuses on reducing tension, calming sensitivity, and restoring normal muscle function. As these systems improve, many people notice a reduction in discomfort and a more stable, predictable feeling in their body.

After surgery—whether abdominal, pelvic, organ, musculoskeletal or bone —you may notice ongoing discomfort, tightness, or difficulty moving the way you used to. This can happen as the body heals, especially if muscles, nerves, or connective tissue are affected. It’s common after routine, cosmetic or reconstructive procedures involving the abdomen, pelvis, genitals or surrounding structures. Pelvic health therapy helps restore movement, improve tissue mobility, and rebuild strength and coordination. With guided recovery, many people are able to move more comfortably and return to their normal routines.

Pain in the hips, lower back, or tailbone is often connected to how the pelvic floor and surrounding muscles are working together. You may notice discomfort when sitting, standing, or moving through your day. This can develop gradually or after injury, changes in activity, or prolonged stress on the body. Pelvic health therapy looks at how these areas interact, improving movement patterns, strength, and support. As function improves, many people experience less pain and greater ease in everyday movement.

You might notice discomfort, pressure, or strain during activities like running, lifting, cycling, or other forms of exercise—even if you’re otherwise healthy and active. This often happens when the pelvic floor and core aren’t managing load and pressure efficiently during movement, especially with higher-impact or repetitive activities. It’s common among individuals who regularly train, push their limits, or return to activity after a break or life transition. Pelvic health therapy focuses on improving strength, coordination, and how your body responds under load, so movement feels more supported and controlled. With the right guidance, many people are able to continue training, perform at a higher level, and return to the activities they enjoy without discomfort.

Christine is THE best! She is so incredibly helpful and an amazing listener. She creates realistic goals and plans to help you move your body how you want to move it! Plus she has the option of home visits which makes it convenient to get an appointment done during nap time without leaving the house. Finally, appointments with Christine are like hanging out with a friend (she’s the chill type of friend) while making your body move and feel so much better. Highly recommend!!

Christine is the best!! She listened as I told about my son’s birth not going to plan. She met me where I was at - always asking what I needed that day or what I felt needed worked on. She helped my rib flare, taught me how to massage my c section scar, worked on hip flexibility, taught me how to engage my core, and how to connect to my pelvic floor. I will see her with each pregnancy and in each postpartum. So grateful for her care. I had tried other pelvic floor PTs, and she is by far the best.

Sciatic pain, pressure “down there” (prolapse ) couldn’t stop pee, back pain, debilitating pain after intimacy… pregnancy was so painful and challenging this time. Christine was able to help me with ALL of those! Also — my last two babies were malpositioned ( occiput posterior) and never turned. This baby had no issue turning. I had NO back labor. I am confident that the smoother labor was due to my work with Christine. I am SO thankful for her extensive knowledge, kindness & her encouragement. You will not regret choosing to work with her!!!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Christine both before and after my POP/hysterectomy surgery, and I’m so incredibly grateful for her guidance! She was an invaluable resource, offering me realistic strategies to help me successfully navigate a tough recovery. As a clinician, Christine is warm, easy to talk to, experienced, and clear in her communication style. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone who is seeking to improve their pelvic floor health, and wants a trustworthy guide.

I cannot recommend Christine enough! I began seeing her in the last trimester of pregnancy, and she was such an incredible support in preparing my body and mind for labor. She gave me tools, knowledge, and confidence that made such a difference in how I approached birth. Since then, I’ve continued to see her throughout my postpartum journey (now 6 months), and she has been an absolute key in helping me rebuild pelvic floor, core, and overall strength. Beyond the exercises, she has taught me so much about how the woman’s body works and how to truly take care of myself during this season of life. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, and empowering. I am so grateful for her guidance and care!

Christine is 10/10. She always takes the time to hear what is going on in my body, or (more often) to help me slow down and realize what's going on. She gives me manageable exercises to do and is very available between visits for me to reach out to. She is very approachable and easy to connect with.

Great experience working with Christine through telehealth. She made me feel comfortable and has knack for explaining exercises and processes in a way that is easy to understand. This is my second pregnancy and I wish I would have found her sooner! I had a lot of morning sickness with both pregnancies which was resulting in leaking while also getting sick but then carried over into other life activities. Not fun. Christine showed me exercises in various positions that I could perform throughout the day which helped reduce these symptoms tremendously. She is invested in my care and my needs and making me feel confident going into my delivery and postpartum. Flexible with scheduling even being in a different time zone than me! Highly recommend her services even if you don’t live in Ohio! Just because your symptoms are common doesn’t mean you have to live with them.
