Pelvic Health + Orthopedic Expertise

While pelvic health is a specialty area of my practice, I also truly love treating orthopedic injuries and movement problems.​​​

​​Some of my favorite conditions to work with include:

• Low back and SI joint pain
• Shoulder injuries and rotator cuff repairs
• Knee injuries and ACL reconstruction
• Running injuries
• Pregnancy and postpartum recovery​

Pelvic health and orthopedic care are deeply connected, and combining those perspectives allows for a more complete approach to recovery.
