Pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) focuses on evaluating and treating the muscles, nerves, and connective tissues that support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs.

At my practice in St. Paul, serving the greater Twin Cities and Minneapolis area, sessions are personalized to help reduce pain, restore control, and improve your connection to your core and pelvic health.

I am currently an out-of-network provider, which allows for fully individualized, one-on-one care. I accept FSA/HSA for payment. You will never receive an unexpected bill from me. Superbills are provided for potential reimbursement through your insurance plan. You can use this form to contact your insurance about your specific plan.

Pelvic floor therapy helps women, men, and all gender identities at any life stage. Common reasons people seek pelvic floor PT in the Twin Cities include:

✅ Urinary or bowel leakage
✅ Pelvic pain or pressure
✅ Pain with intercourse
✅ Postpartum recovery
✅ Diastasis recti (ab separation)
✅ Pelvic organ prolapse
✅ Tailbone or low back pain
✅ Core weakness or instability

Your first visit includes:

• A private discussion of your history, symptoms, and goals

• Physical, breathing, and movement assessment

• Optional internal exam (with consent) to assess muscle tone and coordination

From there, your therapist creates a customized plan with movement training, manual therapy, and education designed to support lasting change.

No — an internal exam is always optional. It can help guide treatment, but your comfort and boundaries are always respected. External-only treatment options are available.

Minnesota allows direct access to physical therapy, meaning you can start without a doctor’s referral. Some insurance plans may still require one for reimbursement, so check your benefits if submitting for coverage.

Wear comfortable, flexible clothing such as leggings, joggers, or shorts. You’ll be able to move comfortably during your session.

My pelvic floor physical therapy practice is located inside St. Paul Pilates and Fitness, conveniently accessible from Highland Park, Minneapolis, and across the Twin Cities.

Oncology physical therapy helps people recover strength, mobility, and function during and after cancer treatment. It addresses side effects from surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation — including fatigue, pain, stiffness, and weakness.

Item desAfter breast surgery or radiation, it’s common to experience tightness, limited shoulder movement, and weakness. Physical therapy helps restore range of motion, ease discomfort, and rebuild confidence in your body’s strength and function.

Benefits of breast cancer physical therapy

• Improves shoulder and arm mobility

• Reduces pain, stiffness, and fatigue

• Helps with scar tissue and cording (axillary web syndrome)

• Supports lymphatic drainage and lowers risk of lymphedema

• Restores posture and core stability

• Rebuilds overall strength and energy

• Enhances confidence and quality of life

You can begin physical therapy as soon as your surgeon clears you — often within days or weeks after surgery. It’s also never too late to start. Even years later, therapy can relieve stiffness, improve mobility, and address lingering side effects like chronic pain.

Treatments that affect the pelvic floor muscles and tissues:

• Radiation to the pelvis → causes fibrosis, dryness, narrowing, and reduced tissue stretch

• Vaginal brachytherapy → can shorten or stiffen the vaginal canal

• Surgical procedures (hysterectomy, tumor removal) → scar tissue and pelvic floor spasm

Dilation therapy is often needed to minimize the affects of these treatments.
