"When I started having pelvic pain in my second pregnancy I knew it was worth the investment to pay out of pocket for PT. The folks at Lady Bird were a delight to work with and Dr. Liz Cote always made me feel comfortable. I noticed such a difference between my first and second pregnancy recoveries and I know it's because of the work I did with Liz!"

"I've been seeing Dr. Sam Yorke at Lady Bird for tailbone pain brought on by pregnancy, and she's made a world of difference. She has helped me to understand the cause and solutions for treating it, has relieved the pain tremendously, and worked with me to begin strengthening my pelvic floor muscles to prevent it from continuing. Sam is patient, straightforward, so friendly, understanding, and professional. She has helped me find ways to incorporate my exercises into my normal habits to make them easier to remember. She's always encouraging and offering help in any way she can. She's just fabulous! Everyone in the office is so kind and welcoming - it's a safe and inclusive environment. I can't recommend Dr. Sam and Lady Bird PT highly enough! "

"I worked with Dr. Elizabeth Knoble and she's amazing! I started working with her when I was ~6 months pregnant to ensure I was setting myself up for success with fitness for the remainder of my pregnancy as well as preparing for birth and postpartum. She genuinely listens to concerns, answers questions knowledgably, and supports whatever your goals are. I am truly grateful for her guidance, and being on the other side 3 months postpartum, I feel fully prepared to resume all of my normal activities (CrossFit, running, etc.) with how she intentionally progressed core activities based on what I specifically wanted to get back to. Many thanks to you Elizabeth, and if y'all are looking for a pelvic floor PT, go see her! :)"
