WOMEN'S PELVIC HEALTH & WELLNESS
Have the Confidence to be the Woman YOU want to be!
Conditions & Symptoms We Treat
Pre & Post Menopause
Pre and post menopause symptoms can be tricky! They can present in many different ways and can exacerbate other symptoms like pain with intimacy, vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence, and so much more. These are symptoms we can help manage!
Urinary leakage, urgency, and frequency
"Just in case" peeing? Leaking with exercise? Cross your legs when you sneeze, laugh, or cough? These things are very common but do NOT have to be the norm. After determining the reason why you are leaking or having other urinary symptoms, we see major improvement in symptoms so knowing where the bathroom is at all times doesn't rule your life!
Pain & Discomfort
in the hip, back, lower abdomen, genital and/or pelvic region
Been trying multiple things and nothing is touching your hip/low back pain? At times, pain in the lumbopelvic region can be coming from your pelvic floor and can present in various ways. We utilize our manual therapy/muscle testing and internal examination to determine where your pain is coming from, allowing us to treat the area specifically.
Pain with vaginal penetration
Sometimes, things just don't feel comfortable down there during intimacy-whether it is before babies, after babies, never having a baby, etc., pain with sex is not normal. We can identify the cause of the pain and get you back to feeling comfortable and confident during your extracurriculars!
Pregnant/Postpartum
We specialize in the active population and LOVE working with pregnant and PP moms. Whether it is specialized strength training, as-needed modifications, or simply returning to the gym/everyday activities after delivery, we've got you covered!
Constipation
Difficulty with bowel movements? Living off of miralax or metamucil? Often times, constipation is associated with other pelvic floor dysfunction and often can cause other issues you may/may not relate to your PF (think urinary leakage, low back pain, abdominal/pelvic pain, etc.). Our goal is to get EVERYTHING moving-and we mean everything.

WHAT WOMEN ARE SAYING AFTER WORKING WITH SAMANTHA
"Samantha helped me with my post menopausal symptoms with my pelvic floor. After the initial assessment, I had ten sessions to work on my issues. And I was able to make tons of progress! And now I have the tools in my toolbox to continue. Samantha is very good at explaining things and teaching about the pelvic floor and the awareness of the muscles in it. I truly believe this is her calling. Her passion for helping women shines through in all she does! My husband and I are very happy to have our sex life back!"

"I reached out to Sam to learn more about pelvic floor health. I knew things have changed after children but mostly I wanted to make sure I could get ahead and prevent additional weakness that occur as I age. Sam made the entire experience comfortable and I am already seeing progress. I am so happy this service is provided. A weakened pelvic floor is common after children and age but it is not something I have to live with, there is help. Thanks Sam!"

"As a new mama, I can’t recommend working with Sam enough! I reached out through a social media ad for a pelvic floor assessment and Sam called me shortly after to make sure she was a good fit for my postpartum pelvic rehab. Saying she was a good fit is in understatement! For the first time during my postpartum experience (around 12weeks) I felt like I had finally connected with someone who understood what I was going through and most importantly how to improve heal my body. Little did I know working with Sam would not only help me gain the confidence I needed to start strength training again but help me feel like myself again! Her compassion and knowledge are expert level. I now have minimal pelvic floor symptoms and know how to protect and strengthen my pelvic floor as I become more aggressive with my strength training. Her program is worth every cent! The whole atmosphere at Evolv is genuine and supportive and something I feel sets them about from other physical therapists."
