Trauma-Informed Pelvic Physical Therapy

At the heart of our practice is the belief that every person deserves care that feels safe, respectful, and empowering. Trauma-informed pelvic physical therapy means that we approach each patient with the understanding that trauma—whether physical, emotional, or medical—can shape how we experience our bodies, health, and healing.

This includes:

• Direct trauma such as sexual assault, abuse, or invasive medical procedures.

• Birth or medical trauma, including difficult labors, complications, or negative healthcare encounters.

• Condition-related trauma, like chronic pelvic pain, painful intercourse, incontinence, or prolapse—symptoms that often carry shame, anxiety, or a sense of being “not normal.”

We recognize that these experiences can affect how a person feels during physical therapy—how safe they feel in their body, how comfortable they are with touch, and how much trust they can extend in a clinical setting.

In our care, you can expect:

• Compassionate, patient-centered communication

• Collaborative decision-making and informed consent

• A respectful pace, with your comfort and boundaries always honored

• Support for both physical healing and emotional safety

This approach isn’t just a philosophy—it’s a commitment to creating a space where healing can happen without pressure, shame, or fear.

You are the expert on your body. We are here to walk beside you as a guide, not an authority. Your story, your boundaries, and your healing matter.
