Our Philosophy
It is time to put you and your needs first. So many times, mothers and mothers-to-be cannot come to the clinic based on business hours, lack of child care, difficulties of transportation.
It is my honor and joy to remove this barrier and bring the treatment to you.
Our in-home physical therapy and wellness visits allow you to take care of you. We can analyze how you function in your home which can help improve your follow-through.
Our Promises
Physical therapy and wellness services for the prenatal and postpartum mothers who wants to feel comfortable and confident in this new stage of life by creating custom exercise programs and research-based education to create informed consumers.
