Physical Therapy for the Things That Matter to You
Your body changes throughout life. Your physical therapy should be personal enough to change with you.
Thrive provides individualized, one-on-one physical therapy with a focus on pelvic health, women's health, and runner & athlete performance.
Who I Work With
Women
Support through the physical changes and challenges that can come with pregnancy, postpartum recovery, perimenopause, menopause, and every stage in between.
Runners & Athletes
Whether you're training for your next race, recovering from an injury, or trying to stay strong and active for the long term, treatment is designed around your sport, your goals, and your body.
Active Adults
You don't have to be a competitive athlete to benefit from performance-focused physical therapy. Thrive works with active adults who want to move better, build strength, recover well, and continue doing the things they love.
Pelvic Health
Pelvic health concerns are common, but they don't have to become your new normal.
Patty specializes in treating:
Pelvic pain
Urinary incontinence
Urinary frequency
Pelvic floor dysfunction
Pelvic organ prolapse
Diastasis recti
Pregnancy-related pain and discomfort
Postpartum recovery
The goal is to address what's contributing to your symptoms while helping you regain comfort, strength, function, and confidence.
Specialized Care for Women
Patty provides specialized physical therapy throughout the major stages of women's health, including:
Prenatal Care
Support for pregnancy-related pelvic and low back pain, pelvic girdle pain, pubic symphysis dysfunction, and adapting exercise safely throughout pregnancy.
Postpartum Recovery
Comprehensive pelvic floor and core assessment, recovery following C-section or perineal tearing, scar tissue care, diastasis recti rehabilitation, and a gradual return to exercise and activity.
Perimenopause & Menopause
Physical therapy support for changes in pelvic floor strength and function, pelvic pain, urinary symptoms, prolapse concerns, and other musculoskeletal changes associated with shifting hormone levels.
Running & Athletic Performance
Thrive offers specialized care for runners and athletes, including:
Running Assessments
A detailed assessment of movement and running mechanics to identify areas that may be contributing to pain, injury, or performance limitations.
Return to Running
Individualized, progressive plans to safely transition from rehabilitation back to running, with training load adjusted to your body's response.
Injury Recovery & Performance
Strength, mobility, movement, and exercise programming designed around your sport and your goals, whether you're returning from injury or looking to stay strong and active for the long term.
Patty is a long-distance runner herself, so she understands the unique demands that running and training place on the body.
Your Treatment
-
Hands-on techniques including joint mobilization, soft tissue work, and other manual techniques to reduce pain, improve mobility, and help you move more comfortably.
-
A targeted technique that uses fine needles to address areas of muscle tension and pain and support improved movement and function.
-
Specialized tools and hands-on techniques used to address areas of soft tissue restriction, improve mobility, and support recovery.
-
Exercise isn't an afterthought at Thrive. Patty creates individualized programs focused on strength, mobility, movement, and progressive loading so you can build capacity and confidence both in the clinic and at home.
-
An advanced, evidence-based technique that uses a controlled cuff on the arm or leg to safely reduce blood flow during low-intensity exercise. BFR allows you to achieve many of the muscle-building and strengthening benefits of heavier resistance training with less load, making it a useful tool for building strength and supporting recovery.
-
A hands-on technique using gentle suction to support soft tissue mobility, circulation, and muscle relaxation.
-
Comprehensive pelvic health care for concerns including pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, urinary frequency, pelvic organ prolapse, and other pelvic floor dysfunction.
Physical therapy at Thrive is personalized to your body, your goals, and where you are in your recovery. Every visit is one-on-one with Patty, giving you the time and attention needed to understand what's going on and create a plan that works for you.
More Than a Treatment Plan
At Thrive, you'll leave with more than exercises to do at home.
The goal isn't just to feel better during your appointment. It's to understand your body and know what to do when you leave.
You'll receive the education, exercises, and practical tools you need to continue making progress at home and feel more confident managing your health independently.
You can do hard things.
Thrive is here to help you believe that, too.
