Pelvic health symptoms can occur at any age and for a variety of reasons. We understand that these symptoms are unique, difficult to discuss and often affect individuals’ emotional well-being. Our pelvic health providers have advanced specialist training to evaluate and treat diagnoses related to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, including prenatal and postpartum conditions, pelvic pain conditions, orthopedic conditions, as well as bowel, bladder, and sexual dysfunction.
You can expect a comprehensive initial visit which includes a detailed history intake and physical examination within your comfort level, followed by one-on-one appointments with your physical therapist in a private treatment room. Our physical therapists are passionate about providing high-quality, empowering, patient-centered care in a welcoming atmosphere, and we treat individuals across the gender spectrum.

An internal pelvic floor muscle examination is a helpful tool for you and your therapist to determine the source of your pain or symptoms. Internal pelvic floor muscle examinations and treatments are always performed with ongoing consent. However, these exams are not a requirement, and there are many alternatives that you can discuss with your therapist to ensure that you have the best experience possible.
From my very first experience with Deb, one of the receptionists, to Felicia, over the phone to meeting Lisa Charron, the provider, I was impressed with the care of each of these individuals. They were all very knowledgeable and professional. They left me with a sense of real confidentiality. Lisa, I felt, is exceptionally good at her job. She knows what she's doing and has the people skills to put people in, you know, being relaxed and competent in her, in a very compromising appointment. I'm very, very grateful for her professionalism and her sense of really caring professionally.
As a patient of Dr. Danielle Moreau, I am pleased to report that she is a consummate professional of the highest caliber. Dr. Moreau is organized, extremely competent, and encouraging in her treatment and advice. It was easy to ask her questions and to obtain clear, valid, and objective answers. I am very pleased with my progress, which is in no small measure because Dr. Moreau did an excellent job in all ways.
Being in your mid-twenties (or any age) and waking up one morning to find that your body isn’t acting as it normally has for the past two-plus decades is a terrifying experience. Throughout this experience, Kendra has been the one constant that has gotten me through the worst times. If it weren’t for her support, both through physical therapy as well as emotionally, I would never have been able to overcome the obstacles I have and be in the place I am today. I am extremely grateful to have Kendra as my physical therapist and look forward to continuing working with her!
