Healing begins with a Virtual or In-person Appointment

"To anyone newly diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, the disease seems like the end. The end of our happiness, our well being, and the life we knew. I have been there and have felt that fear. But there is hope and light to be found, and I am living proof that it can and will get better. So much of my…Read More →

"Sarah and I have been working together for several weeks.  My pelvic pain is related to scar tissue from surgery, poor body mechanics (carrying a grandchild on my hip), weak glutes, hip flexors that weren’t working correctly and a weak core.  I’m learning to stabilize my pelvis, strengthen my glutes, retrain my muscles and to relieve a sudden attack (internal…Read More →

I am sincerely grateful for Foundational Concepts. Sarah and her team have been my most important ally for recovery after nerve damage from a herniated disc and spinal surgery. Sarah’s knowledge, experience, and care goes beyond the pelvic floor. She informed me of pain management, therapeutic exercises, and also explained my injury in terms that helped me know the work…Read More →

Unbelievable!! I’ll never be able to explain the amount of pain, chronic pain I’ve been battling soon to be two years. Every doctor in the area trying, failing, or turning me away. I pretty much was living at the ER until a doctor recommended Sarah at Foundational Concepts. Everything I didn’t believe in like the mind and body are truly…Read More →

"My initial visit to Jenn was to treat multiple annoyances that I felt I could live with. I had residual pelvic instability/muscle imbalances from a near fatal car accident, a couple bad falls, and multiple child births. Nobody’s perfect, right? After one visit, I was pleasantly surprised to find a balanced pelvis and less incontinence. Not to mention efficient movement…Read More →

"I was a patient of Foundational Concepts this winter. After just four sessions, my therapist helped me overcome vaginismus, which I'd been struggling with for 15 years. I recently had my first pain-free annual pelvic exam EVER, and my doc took "vaginismus" off my chart. I am so grateful for your clinic. I'm also a little mad that it took…Read More →

"After undergoing a Cesarean section I expected my body to change, but I was not prepared for the extent of problems I would encounter. Previously healthy and active, I suddenly had constant back pain, right hip pain, a feeling of being unbalanced, and intercourse with my husband was unbearable.  I work as an Occupational Therapist requiring lifting patients. I felt…Read More →

"I need to let you know that I had one of the most meaningful and emotional 5K runs of my life on Thanksgiving, thanks to you. I was able to run the entire 32 minutes of the 5K without ANY issues.

"I started physical therapy with Jen after a bad foreign body reaction to a urethral sling. The sling was fully removed 8 weeks after it was implanted. There was extensive scarring and adhesions along the urethral tubes and vaginal walls. I was experiencing horrible vaginal/urethral pain and urinary retention. I could not work or perform normal daily activities due to…Read More →

Julia Foster, DPT was very knowledgeable about what may help me and I felt "listened to" which is the first step in trusting the process.

"Remember when you thought 30 was old? I do. Anyone 30 or over knows now that 30 is not nearly as old as we imagined. At 53, I felt very old. "I don’t appear old; I have been told I look and act much younger than my age. Nevertheless, I felt very old, due to incontinence. I thought incontinence only…Read More →

"I met Jenn and Sarah in 2011 after almost a year of searching for the cause of my pelvic pain. The pain had become so severe it was disrupting both my work and home life, and had left me very frustrated because no doctor seemed to have an idea what was going on. It was very embarrassing, because it’s not…Read More →
