Fertility and Preconception Support

Your Body is Not Broken!

Did you know that nearly 72.4 million couples globally experience fertility problems? You are not alone! Fertility challenges can leave you feeling defeated, isolated, broken and can take a big tole on your relationships. The infertility space is crowded with overwhelming choices and can leave you feeling confused and lost.

Women’s Health Physical Therapy can help ease your journey. The pelvic floor plays a crucial role in fertility and overall reproductive health. Pelvic floor tension, weakness or imbalances may interfere with conception, cause discomfort during sex, making it harder to conceive. Scar tissue from prior surgeries can impact organ motility and blood flow negatively impacting the conception environment. Physical Therapy can address these issues, help you manage stress and anxiety, and support hormonal balance. Recent studies have also suggested that pelvic floor physical therapy can improve outcomes of alternative fertility treatments (IVF, IUI).

In addition to pelvic floor physical therapy, I have done post-doctoral education to deep dive infertility and infertility related conditions to help you get to the root cause and find the most appropriate path forward. This includes understanding your unique history and deep diving:
