I am a well-rounded pelvic health physical therapist with a strong orthopedic skill set. I use therapeutic exercises, myofascial and trigger-point release techniques, and strategies to address nervous system dysregulation as it pertains to chronic pain and pelvic floor dysfunction. I treat all clients holistically by aiding in addressing underlying causes of inflammation through referrals to necessary medical providers including excision specialists, dieticians, etc to provide care beyond musculoskeletal. I have undergone additional training in visceral mobilization techniques and plan to pursue training in dry needling in my ongoing continuing education. I have a true passion for treating the whole individual in my care and for optimizing their function in all aspects of their life.

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.

What you should know about me:
My philosophy on treatment is multifactorial. This approach includes visceral mobilization, myofascial release, internal and external manual therapy. I take a full body approach, treating both internally and externally around the pelvis as well as the soft tissue and joints above and below the pelvis. I incorporate movement and exercise, incorporating cardiovascular and strength training into my patient’s care. I also like to work with a collaborative team, alongside a nutritionist and medical doctors.
