You might feel disconnected from your body, anxious about working out again, or frustrated that "this is just how it is now.

Leaking is stealing your confidence
You're avoiding jumping jacks at the gym, holding in sneezes, and strategically planning bathroom breaks. Incontinence isn't something you should just accept.

You're scared to lift or exercise
You want to get back to running, lifting your toddler, or even just walking without pain—but you don't know if it's safe or where to start.
-
Your core doesn't feel like yours

"Exceptional Care and Expertise: A Pelvic Floor Doctor Worth Recommending. I recently had the privilege of being treated by Dr. Maidansky at Lady Bird Physical Therapy for post-menopausal pelvic floor issues, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional care I received."

"I was 36 weeks pregnant when I learned pelvic floor PT was a thing that could help you prepare for birth. My OB, doula and massage therapist all recommended Lady Bird PT so I called them in a panic. They got me in the same week. I had no idea how the pelvic floor can affect birth and even though I only had time for two sessions before birth it was so helpful!"

"I'm so fortunate to have worked with Lady Bird PT during pregnancy and postpartum! Rebecca is extremely skilled and knowledgeable, and is a fantastic question-asker, listener, and collaborator. By the time my baby arrived, my leakage was like 95% better!"

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Lady Bird PT is an out-of-network clinic, meaning we do not directly bill insurance. You can pay for services with an HSA or FSA card and we can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. This model allows us to provide personalized, unhurried care focused entirely on your needs.
-
You can start as early as 3 weeks postpartum. At this initial visit, we don't perform an internal exam, but we can check in with your body, address symptoms, and begin foundational rehab. We typically recommend following up after your 6-week provider check-up. But it's never too late—whether you're 3 weeks, 3 months, or 30 years postpartum, you can still regain strength and control.
-
Everyone's needs are different, but our clinic average is 6 visits over 3-4 months. Some patients need just one visit, while others benefit from longer care. How often we see you depends on how much hands-on therapy you need versus exercises you can do independently. We typically start with weekly appointments before spacing them out.
