Why I practice
women’s health physical therapy
I was initially introduced to pelvic floor physical therapy during my graduate studies, and was immediately inspired by how impactful physical therapy can be for a wide variety of conditions. As I continued to learn and practice in this specialized setting, I became aware of my passion to advocate for women’s health. I enjoy treating patients who are pregnant and postpartum, as well as patients with pelvic pain, low back pain, other joint pain/injury, and bladder or bowel dysfunction. My goal as a physical therapist is to improve my patients’ quality of life and to create a safe space to discuss all things related to their care.

"I had been suffering with urinary frequency for almost three years before ending up at Vitality! From the website I gathered they were focused on women and were run by women so I immediately felt comfortable going. I was assigned to Hannah and she changed my life! Not only did she address my symptoms but I noticed an improvement in my stress levels, posture, and overall feeling of physical wellness."
