Life has Changed—So Has Your Body
Life is tough—relationships, parenting, hormone changes, aging, stress. And it’s way harder when you’re in pain or continually worried about where the closest bathroom might be.
Are bladder or bowel accidents (your own or your child’s) taking over your life? Does back or pelvic pain keep
you from the activities you love? Is painful sex hurting your most cherished relationship?
Where’s the joy in that?
If you feel like you’re missing out on what life could be and are ready for a change, you’re in the right place!
Meet Your Pelvic Physical Therapist
Hi, I'm Darlene Ryan!
A licensed physical therapist specializing in pelvic physical therapy, I’m also a mom of two girls. After two c-sections and other postpartum issues, I felt trapped in a body that no longer felt like my own.
I found healing, and today I have:
-
21 years of experience in pelvic health PT
-
a Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist certification
-
a thriving pelvic health PT private practice
I’ve taught hundreds of women tools to overcome their own pelvic health problems.
I’ve taught hundreds of children and parents how to manage constipation and master potty training.
...And I'd love to teach you, as well.
I’ll give you tools and techniques to resolve dysfunction, minimize pain, regain control—and get back to the activities you love.
Afraid of what pelvic PT might be like or worried it’s not the right fit?
Your inquiry call is free and I’ll talk you through everything.
Patient Testimonial
Within days I could walk easily up hills and stairs again!
"I am so thankful for the expertise I received from Darlene. I had been struggling for over a year with postpartum hip pain which prevented me from walking up hills or up stairs. A few months ago Darlene gave me a very thorough exam and identified the problem even though it had not been correctly identified by others in the past. I did the recommended stretches and techniques and within days I could walk easily up hills and up the stairs again!
...Now I take for granted how easy it is for me to go up the stairs and not have pain anymore. I highly recommend Fundamental Physical Therapy!"
