The Mend Method
Our pelvic health approach is different than any in the area. We blend orthopedics and pelvic health to not simply look at your pelvic floor, but your body as a whole to get to the root of your dysfunction. With this approach and 60 minute appointments, we don’t just relieve your pain, we get you back to doing what you love, and with fewer appointments than conventional pelvic physical therapy.
Treatments Used
Pelvic floor dry needling, myofascial work including internal vaginal and internal rectal work, breathing mechanics, joint mobilizations, diaphragm and rib mobility, neuromuscular reeducation of pelvic floor and deep abdominal muscles, exercise, weighted strength training, sport and activity specific training.

Heather Fraebel is my PT doc at Mend and she is FANTASTIC. She has a lot of great knowledge about the pelvic floor as well as Interstitial Cystitis and makes visits feel incredibly comfortable, safe and empowering. She has been such a great guide through my journey through PFD and IC and | am so incredibly grateful for her.
