About Us
Embody Wellness was founded with the intention to bridge the gap in pelvic health care and wellness.
After working in the traditional medical model, we found a major challenge in being able to support our patients' specific needs and goals. Patients who had big goals like returning to running or weight lifting without leaking were overlook since they were not “in pain” or told that this is now the new normal. Patients with chronic pelvic pain where lacking a holistic approach to care instead being compartmentalized in a ‘pelvic patient’ versus being looked at as a whole person head to toe. Here at Embody Wellness, we see you and we care about you. We do not only want to help eliminate your pain, we want you to leave us feeling like you have improved all pleasure and passion for all aspects of your being.
Our mission is to provide a healing environment during pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. We aim to provide the highest level of care with a combination of evidence based treatment and an individualized approach.
Our goal is to replace fear with empowerment to move the body safely and report to sport with confidence and resilience.
Our orthopedic physical therapists are specialized in pelvic health & pelvic floor rehabilitation. Our patients are examined from head to toe utilizing a holistic approach. We work one-on-one with our patients to provide a comprehensive assessment & treatment options.
Our private treatment rooms provide a calm and safe space for healing. We also have an open gym space for movement and exercise.
