WHY did Alison choose Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?

Physical Therapy was a natural career fit for me as an athlete and active community member, but my specialty as a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist typically generates questions. I’m often asked “Why the pelvis?” or “Why focus on bowel, bladder and sexual function?” Throughout my teen years, I battled urinary stress incontinence, which changed to pelvic pain as I got older. I chose this career because I’ve been there myself, struggling with isolation and no answers. I have been pain-free and continent for years now and I want to share this knowledge to help others feel in control of their bodies and confident in social situations.

1 in 4 Americans struggle with bladder dysfunction. 20% of adults battle with bowel and digestive dysfunction, and 1 in 4 Americans cope with chronic pain. Incontinence, bloating, cramping, constipation and sexual dysfunction are just a few of the symptoms that many of us suffer through, not realizing how many other people face the same struggles. Pelvic floor therapy is focused on normalizing and overcoming those situations. My passion is creating a safe, private space to provide support for women and men to connect with their bodies in a positive way and I’m grateful for the science pertaining to a region of the body that has been ignored for far too long. My WHY is because I want to help my neighbors understand what is “normal” for their body and to give them the tools to feel centered and confident throughout their day.

Let’s work together and get you back out there hiking, dancing, or skiing with your friends (without being distracted by the nearest restroom.)
