SERVICES PROVIDED

PELVIC FLOOR PHYSICAL THERAPY

Mend Clinic utilizes specialized physical therapy methods to evaluate and treat muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs in the context of the whole body.

Offerings:

Perinatal rehabilitation, encompassing care during pregnancy, preparation for labor and delivery, and postpartum recovery.

Rehabilitation for pelvic dysfunction, including pelvic pain, urinary problems, and bowel problems.

BREATHWORK

Breathwork is where pelvic floor exercise and Pilates intersect. All patients will utilize breath to build a strong core foundation that mindful movement can be layered upon.

Pelvic floor rehabilitation will culminate with breathwork and Pilates exercises. Pilates-based rehabilitation will begin with breathwork and education about pelvic floor function.

The line between these services is blurred because of our holistic approach to pelvic floor and orthopedic care.

PILATES-BASED PHYSICAL THERAPY

Mend Clinic utilizes the Pilates system and traditional physical therapy methods to evaluate and treat symptoms and conditions in the context of the whole body.

Offerings:

Rehabilitation for orthopedic injuries, including pelvic and spinal instability, postural issues, and pain in the back, neck, shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle/foot.

ETHOS

Featured

RELAXATION

Mend Clinic provides high quality, evidence based care without jeopardizing patient experience. We provide a feeling of calm, starkly contrasting the sterility of traditional PT clinics. We utilize design to appeal to all senses, including calming colors, natural and warm lighting, soothing music, grounding smells, and soft linens on treatment tables. Mend Clinic believes a relaxed nervous system better facilitates healing.

CONNECTION

Mend Clinic dispels the connotation that Pilates is meant for a particular type of person, welcoming people of all physical abilities, sizes, skin tones, genders, sexual orientations, and ages. We utilize compassion to provide a genuine sense of care during difficult conversations. We demystify taboo subjects such as sex, urination, and bowel movements. Nothing is “too much information.” This connection provides a sense of safety that allows patients to quiet their nervous systems, tune into subtle sensations, and make lasting change.

EXPLORATION

Mend Clinic incorporates a sense of play in its approach to rehabilitation. We provide one-on-one, patient centered care where exercises are adapted to the unique needs of every body. No movement strategy is “right” or “wrong.” We live in the grey area, where what feels best in one body might be different in another. Mend Clinic encourages a collaborative approach to exploration, where patient feedback is combined with trained eyes and detailed cuing to create well balanced movement that feels great.

INSPIRATION

Mend Clinic empowers you with the knowledge, skills, and inspiration to feel your best. We prefer active to passive treatment, where patients learn to rely on themselves to feel better. We view patient and provider as equals, utilizing empathy to provide a shared sense of understanding. By relating to patients, patients see that their goals are achievable, and feel inspired to take action to heal and grow.

EVOLUTION

Mend Clinic provides you with knowledge of your anatomy, skills to tune into your body, and awareness that your movement practice will continue to evolve. Science will advance and point us towards the most effective forms of movement. Your body will change and favor different sensations. Mend Clinic encourages you to keep riding the highs and lows of life, adapting movement accordingly, and evolving into your greatest potential.
