What you should know about me: I utilize visceral mobilizations, myofascial release techniques, breathing interventions, nervous system regulation, and therapeutic exercise to aid in modulation of symptoms and return to activity without limitations. I believe the most important part of my treatment is empowering my clients in the self-management of their symptoms. We will discuss lifestyle modifications, self-mobilization options, and long-term treatment options to assist them on their endo journey.

What you should know about me: Beyond Basics is an international leader in pelvic floor physical therapy located in Midtown and Downtown Manhattan. Since 2003, we have helped thousands of people recover from a broad range of conditions rooted in pelvic floor dysfunction. Our physical therapists are trained in many kinds of treatment. We use internal and external manual therapy, including: myofascial release, trigger point release, connective tissue release, and craniosacral therapy. If necessary, we can even gently mobilize the organs themselves to improve function. We also use techniques such as biofeedback to retrain your muscles. We’ll teach you techniques you can take home with you and use between sessions to improve results. We also occasionally use cold laser, heat and cold therapy, electrical stimulation, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. Neuromuscular re-education is a type of exercise aimed at retraining your muscles to perform in the way they were designed to perform in order to achieve coordination and optimal movement. This is essential to be able to carry out pain-free activities like standing, walking, and getting out of a chair, and also in maintaining healthy function going forward to prevent reinjury. Ultimately, we consult with our patients’ referring doctor or healthcare provider and work with our patients to create individualized exercise programs that are tailored to their needs. And we devote time every week to continuing education, so we’re always on the forefront of treatment options.

What you should know about me: Lady Bird PT was founded in 2019 after clinic owner Dr. Rebecca witnessed a lack of support and options for folks navigating their reproductive journeys. Her patients were being told that their leakage, pain, fears and symptoms were just “part of parenthood” and the answer to their discomfort was time and acceptance. She was seeing patients fearful of movement because of guidance from medical providers encouraging them to avoid doing the “wrong” thing without ever being told what the “right” one was. She knew that people deserved better. They deserved better than black and white answers through rushed appointments. She wanted to create a clinic that allowed her more time to connect with her patients and give them real answers rather than ill-informed rules. Lady Bird PT’s mission is to help you manage your pelvic health with information, exercise and hands on manual therapy while helping reduce your risk of injury from the very beginning. We’re here to provide you with real answers, actionable solutions and the kind of support you deserve. Our team is passionate about providing inclusive, evidence-based care in a way that allows our patients to make informed decisions about their own health while managing infertility, pain and their reproductive journeys. We are so grateful to be here supporting our patients and collaborating with our community. We look forward to working with you.

What you should know about me:
We typically approach endometriosis with manual therapy in conjunction with exercise/movement/behavioral changes. We scope inside and outside of the pelvis to treat endometriosis meaning we do not do just an internal exam although that is very often a part of treatment. We also utilize visceral mobilization, myofascial release, and connective manipulation as needed. We believe in inclusive and patient centered care and want are patients to feel that they are in a safe space to heal.
