Welcome to LiveWell! We are on a mission to help women live without pain, leaks, weakness, fear, shame, and compromise. We understand first-hand what it’s like to feel isolated and alone when you’re dealing with something so personal. We know what it’s like to feel lost on where to start. We hear how frequently bladder, bowel, and pain issues are dismissed as "just part of being a woman". We know how hard it is to find someone to stand in your corner. If any of this resonates with you, we need to meet each other!

​who WE HELP

We are the only physical therapy practice in the area that exclusively works with women who are dealing with pelvic floor conditions. What does that really mean? We work with you to achieve goals such as:
  • not allowing back pain to be the reason you had to bail on a workout
  • having sex without fear that it will hurt​
  • feeling strong when picking up your child
  • sneezing without having to change your pants
  • being free from the anxiety of finding the next bathroom
  • staying active throughout your pregnancy
  • making it through the work day without feeling a bulge "down there"
​...and so much more! We look forward to hearing your story and could not be more excited to begin this journey with you.
