Specialized pelvic floor therapy addresses urinary incontinence, diastasis recti, and pelvic pain conditions. Our clinicians combine internal and external assessments with targeted exercises to improve core stability and pelvic organ support. This service caters to prenatal/postpartum women and individuals seeking non-invasive solutions for pelvic dysfunction while maintaining strict confidentiality and comfort during treatment.

Report
I've been coming for a few weeks now and I'm really impressed with the care I am receiving from Katrina. She gives me exercises that are challenging and helpful. I've already seen progress in the strength of my leg and a reduction in numbness in my foot from the disc pressure on my nerves.

I see Katrina Wong, and I have to tell you, this has been the best decision I've made this pregnancy, both for myself and for my ability to deliver VBAC. I have twins that I delivered via cesarean. That pregnancy did quite a bit of damage to my pelvis, and abdomen. I also have scar tissue and nerve damage from the surgery all of which has led me to having a very uncomfortable second pregnancy. Very early on I started to experience the same searing/ burning pain through my pelvis that I had near the end of my twin pregnancy and beyond. I also noticed that my abdomen was getting quite large earlier

Been to 3 PT locations in my life and this one is by far the best so far. Good enough to make me write a review. I actually break a sweat here. Thanks for the great care Katrina!
