Where Expert Pelvic Floor Therapy Serving Durham, NC Meets Personal Touch
Our clinic is not just about the treatment, it is about creating a personalized healing experience and journeying alongside each patient whether that be transitioning into motherhood, navigating infertility, managing pelvic pain or being successful at potty training. We understand that choosing a pelvic floor specialist is a significant decision in which your comfort is the most important to achieving your goals. Below you will find the reasons why The Perinatal Pelvis stands out as a premier choice for those who are seeking specialized holistic and compassionate pelvic health care.
Focused Expertise in Pelvic Health: We haven’t just stopped at generalized pelvic health education. Our advanced training in pediatrics, pregnancy and postpartum allows you or your child to get individualized, effective and comprehensive care tailored to your needs.
Consistent, Personalized Care: Every session you will see the same therapist. Consistency means that we can really get to know you and journey with you through your healing.
Time and Listening: We want to hear your stories. We allow 60-90 minutes for all sessions to not feel rushed and give you our full attention
Safe Environment: Our clients have identified our clinic as a place that they feel safe and comfortable. Our number one goal is for you to feel that same comfort and we would welcome suggestions to ensure that is the case for you during your care with us.
Individualized: Your treatments are based on your priority that day. We don’t have protocols for treatments and we are not bound by the regulations of insurance so that you can always be at the center of your care. If you are a new mom and feel more comfortable by bringing your baby to the session please know that babies are always welcome.
This is a Partnership: We help you facilitate change and learn strategies to gain independence. We want to empower you to have the knowledge to improve your pelvic health and maintain optimal pelvic health for years to come. Our goal is that you will not need us. If you are a caregiver and bringing your child to therapy we want look at you as a vessel in helping the strategies that your child learns in therapy to be carried out at home.
Driver of Care: We strive to ensure that you always feel in control and agreeable in your care, no matter your age . Pelvic floor assessments have a variety of options to accomplish the same goal, healing can occur without the therapist touching you. Together we will figure out the best plan for you.
Prevention: preventative care is quality care. You don’t have to wait until something is wrong to be supported. Don’t settle for what is common (leaking, pain with sex, constipation, bed wetting, etc). Dysfunction can be minimized by being preventative.
Rebuilding Trust in the Body: The pelvis holds onto memory, but has no sense of time therefore to do this work we have to recognize the trauma, listen to the body and respect what the body needs.
Addressing the Whole Person: We follow a biopsychosocial approach which expands the lens of pelvic floor therapy to provide the most holistic care possible. There are 4 pillars of care that we strive for: Biomechanics which includes your strength, coordination, and ROM of your pelvic floor, and what most pelvic floor therapists primarily work on. Nervous System Regulation which involves learning to listen to your body, breath work and vagus nerve stimulation. Psychology including trauma informed conversations, learning new coping mechanisms, adapting to new roles and routines and finding confidence in your body. Lastly, Social and Emotional Support which includes addressing the struggles of balancing life, developing ways to engage in your community and preparing for transitions such as motherhood, menopause or participating in school.
