What to Expect
When dealing with any pelvic floor issue, we know that it can be both confusing and unnerving. We provide a space for you to ask the questions you want to be answered and to give you the peace of mind your body deserves. We specialize in treatments for both men, women, and children. All of our appointments are an hour long so as to give you a full and thorough treatment, every time. Feel free to wear any clothes that you are comfortable in. Our treatments can include both external and internal exams, depending on your specific plan of care and your specific needs. We specialize in manual physical therapy and we offer an array of treatments and exercises, ranging from ultrasound to strengthening exercises. We welcome you to schedule an initial exam with our therapists Dr. Dhara Solanki and Dr. Victoria Kuberka so we can heal, together.
