What Makes Us Different

When you come into our office, you will receive your therapist’s undivided attention for your full 60-minute session. By providing one-on-one treatment, we can get to the "why" of your symptoms and help you return to the activities you love. 

Depending on your needs, we offer a combination of hands-on pelvic floor therapy treatment, functional movement exercises and Pilates. We recognize that every body is unique, which is why our treatment plans are individualized, too.

We also offer physical therapist-led Pilates classes to aid your recovery or help you maintain your pelvic health.

“I was reluctant to see a pelvic floor therapist after giving birth but after a few months I realized it was going to be necessary if I wanted to get back to being me. Katie was a life saver, helping me to see light at the end of the tunnel. She's proactive, provides great advice and feedback and really listens to what's going on with you and your body. I wish I had started going to see her during pregnancy because I think it would have been a tremendous help during labor, delivery and the early postpartum days.”

What We Treat

Pelvic Pain + Pain with Sexual Activity

Sexual activity should be pleasurable, not painful. From vaginismus to painful sex after having a baby to changes following menopause, pelvic pain or pain during intercourse can arise during any stage of life. We will work with you to identify the root cause and help you find long-term relief from your symptoms.

Bowel Health + Gut Function

Are you struggling to have regular bowel movements? Often, we don't pay attention to our bowel movements until we are having trouble with them. Constipation is a common side-effect of pregnancy postpartum—although it can occur at other times, too. Through physical therapy and holistic suggestions, we will help you find a solution to your bowel difficulties. 

Low Back Pain + Hip Pain

If your chronic low back or hip pain didn’t improve through traditional physical therapy, that may be because you’re targeting the wrong area: Pelvic floor muscles are integral parts of our deep core, which gives stability to our spine and pelvis. By assessing your pelvic floor muscles, we may be able to get to the root of ongoing pain in your back or hips. 

Prenatal + Postpartum Care

Whether you are preparing to get pregnant, are currently expecting or recently welcomed a baby, we are here for you. The fact is the human body changes in dramatic (yet amazing!) ways during and after pregnancy. We can help optimize your pelvic health, improve low back, alleviate hip or pubic symphysis pain during pregnancy, prepare you for vaginal or cesarean delivery and empower you for your postpartum recovery. 

Diastasis Recti + Core Weakness

The majority of moms experience Diastasis Recti—a separation of the abdominal wall—at some point during or after pregnancy. This can result in core weakness, stress incontinence, pain during sex or other side effects. The good news is that physical therapy is highly effective! We combine our pelvic floor therapy knowledge with our Pilates training to build a program to help you restore your core strength.

Urinary Symptoms

No one has time for bathroom breaks every 30 minutes. If you feel like your bladder is always full or you are always on high alert for leaks (sneezing shouldn’t be this scary!), we want to work with you to improve your bladder health. By addressing the root problem and identifying triggers, we can help you live without urinary urgency, frequency, leakage, recurrent UTIs or an overactive bladder.

“I was skeptical at first when I went to see Katie. I had a lot of pain and really didn't know how PT would help, but she really helped me with my pregnancy issues and prepped me for labor. She is awesome and I felt like it was well worth my time. I will definitely reach back out after I deliver my baby.”

FAQs

At ATL Pelvic Health, we are firm believers that every individual seeking health care should feel confident in their choice of provider. That’s why we are glad to answer any questions you have related to our treatments, our payment options and even appointment logistics—like whether you can bring your baby. (The answer to that last question is “yes!”)

Whether you opt to work with us or go another route, we wish you the best for your path toward pelvic floor wellness.

Under the No Surprises Act, Good Faith Estimates will be provided.

  • At our foundation, ATL Pelvic Health is a practice that puts the “care” in “health care.” With our one-on-one appointments for full 60 minute sessions, you can be assured we are focused entirely on your treatment.

    We also believe in giving power back to our clients by giving every individual the tools, resources and confidence to be an active participant in their therapy treatment.

    Our treatment model itself is also unique: Our pelvic floor therapists use hands-on methods, which can help with mobility, stretching and more. In combination with functional movement exercises and Pilates options, this approach helps us holistically treat and heal pelvic floor dysfunction.

  • The short answer: No. From a clinical standpoint, both internal and external assessments provide useful information for pelvic floor therapy. However, as people, we recognize that physical assessments can provoke anxiety in some cases. For that reason, we only conduct these internal assessments with your consent.

    An internal assessment can give us a lot of information to drive your treatment approach based on what we may discover during your first visit. Additional assessments throughout the course of your treatment can help provide direction, however these are not always necessary. And, again, any decisions regarding your body (including internal assessments) are up to you.

  • Yes! We work extensively with pregnant and postpartum moms—and we get that bringing children (from newborns on up!) along can be necessary. After all, we never want the choice to be between child care or getting help for pelvic floor concerns. We are dedicated to making your session as effective as possible, even if your child is sleeping, feeding or anything in between.

    If you’re working around nap times or other schedule constraints, we do offer both 60- and 30-minute virtual sessions for follow-up appointments. For an additional fee, it is also possible to arrange for an in-home physical therapy session in the Atlanta area. Please contact us for more details!

  • When you book a session, we are setting aside a full 60 minutes for you to have the one-on-one attention from a pelvic floor therapist. A portion of each appointment is devoted to discussing your concerns and progress. Another portion of the appointment is spent providing hands-on manual therapy techniques and functional movement exercises.

  • As you might expect, the answer varies from person to person. The best thing to do is to start with an initial appointment so that we can perform an assessment and listen to your goals. From there, we will give you an action plan and next steps to resolve your symptoms. We not only want your symptoms to go away, but we want them to stay away! We will work with you closely every step of the way to make sure you have a good understanding of how many sessions to expect.

  • If you’re looking for a few answers to specific questions, feel free to contact us via email at info@atlpelvichealth.com. A member of our team will respond within one business day.

    If you have broader questions, we offer every interested client a free, no-commitment discovery visit. During this 20-minute session, we can share more about our process, learn about your pelvic floor-related concerns and give you the information you need to determine if we’re a good fit.
