I cannot say enough good things about Empowered PT, specifically Dr. Rachel and Phoebe! They have hands down been the most valuable providers I’ve had in my entire postpartum journey.I first started seeing them during pregnancy, and they helped me prepare for birth with breathing techniques, stretches, and pelvic floor awareness that made a huge difference during my unmedicated birth center delivery. Postpartum, they were the first to notice that things weren’t healing properly and encouraged me to advocate for myself and follow up with a gynecologist, which ultimately led to identifying and treating an issue that had been overlooked for months. Their expertise, empathy, and attention to detail truly changed the course of my recovery. While my gynecologist brushed me off with quick, painful five-minute exams, Rachel and Phoebe always took their time, approaching everything gently and holistically.I didn’t expect my postpartum recovery to be so difficult, and it was really discouraging at times, but Rachel and Phoebe helped me make sense of what was happening and gave me a clear plan to improve every symptom.Both have gone above and beyond - answering all my questions, helping me regain confidence in my body, and supporting me as I navigated painful and confusing postpartum issues, including granulation tissue, scar tissue removal surgery, prolapse, and trialing internal period products. They’ve even shared their own experiences in such a compassionate and validating way that I always felt understood and supported.I truly wouldn’t be where I am now without their care. If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or struggling with pelvic floor issues of any kind, this is the team you want in your corner. I’m endlessly grateful for them and as a recent PT graduate, I will miss them!!!
