When Kate first came to Wellest, she had already seen multiple pelvic floor physical therapists but felt something was missing. Her symptoms — spanning from GI and urinary issues to abdominal pain — were affecting her daily life both physically and emotionally.
“I know what it’s like to receive subpar care,” Kate said. “That’s why I’ve referred everyone and anyone. The women at Wellest have honestly changed my life, and I know they’ll change theirs too.”
Finding a Different Approach to Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Kate’s journey to Wellest wasn’t straightforward. She transitioned from a desk job to a standing position at work, and the physical changes were unexpected. Her pain and discomfort grew, and the specialists she saw didn’t seem to take a whole-body approach.
That changed at her first appointment with Melissa. “It became very clear that she was different,” Kate shared. “Her techniques, her methodology was going to make more of a difference and be more impactful for my everyday life.”
Melissa identified that Kate had a tight pelvic floor and gave her tools and strategies to find her baseline. From there, Kate began coming in for preventative care — and Melissa guided her through two healthy pregnancies. “I do wholly contribute the health of these pregnancies and my body being as strong and as ready as it was to Melissa’s treatment and knowledge.”
Why Kate Recommends Wellest
Kate describes the Wellest team as “incredibly professional and unique in the specialized care that they’re providing their patients.” She emphasizes the warm, welcoming environment and the holistic, root-cause approach that addresses each patient’s needs.
“There is a certain level of care here and knowledge about the pelvic floor that I have not experienced anywhere else,” she said.
Her advice to anyone considering pelvic floor physical therapy? “I can guarantee that you will walk out of there feeling better and learning something new about your body.”
