About Cultivate Pelvic Health and Physical Therapy

We are a specialty physical therapy practice created to provide skillful and compassionate care for any person experiencing pelvic health symptoms.

 
What makes Cultivate Pelvic Health and Physical Therapy different?
  • We have designed a comfortable and private treatment space equipped with anything needed for your sessions, rather than being an add-on service to a bustling clinic.

  • We offer 75 minute evaluations and 60 minute treatment sessions with an experienced Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner. 

  • We care about offering maintenance and prevention-based care for lasting pelvic health!  You will never feel rushed to "discharge" because we strongly believe in supporting you through all of life's phases.

  • We believe in taking an eclectic and individualized approach, and make care decisions with our patients, not for our patients.  We use a variety of evidence informed hands-on, pelvic, orthopedic, visceral, functional exercise, and education interventions for lasting relief!

  • We work with patients of all genders and all pelvic health diagnoses so that our practice truly encompasses the pelvic health specialty.  All people and all pelvic health goals are welcome here.

Meet Dr. Danielle (she/her)

Your Partner in Pelvic Health

​I graduated with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Rhode Island in 2018.  Prior to that, I was a NCAA Division III Student Athlete, playing soccer for William Smith College where I majored in Psychology and Movement Science.  My practice values include reducing stigma associated with common (but treatable!) symptoms, taking a holistic approach to movement and health, and person-centered care.  I understand that you are the most important person in your pelvic health care team.

My Certifications:

  • Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certification (PRPC)

  • Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES)

  • Functional Dry Needling

  • Credentialed Clinical Instructor (CCI)

 

Outside of the clinical environment, I serve both on the Faculty and as a Lead Teaching Assistant for the Herman and Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute where I provide education to rehabilitation clinicians as they work towards specialization.  I also teach at the University of Rhode Island Doctor of Physical Therapy program for the Topics in Gender Studies curriculum. 

 

When I am not working with clients or teaching, you will most likely find me outside, taking a yoga class, or in the CrossFit gym!  I enjoy cultivating my growing family of houseplants, traveling, and spending time with friends, family, and my cat!

What is Pelvic Health Physical Therapy?

Pelvic health physical therapy is a specialization within the physical therapy field requiring advanced training to help individuals with symptoms related to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.  At Cultivate Pelvic Health Physical Therapy, a trauma-informed approach is always prioritized to foster a safe and welcoming environment for all people which allows for optimal healing.

"I have spent literally decades looking for effective help for my pelvic issues through countless MD specialties and have never found success - I was also given an amazing amount of misinformation about my conditions, their causes, and best options for treatment. I cannot highly enough recommend Danielle. No one has ever listened to me so closely, and with such kindness, taught me so much about my own anatomy and why I have the problems I do, nor given me tools to work on my issues myself to keep thing under control. When I first arrived at her office, I was so beaten down by chronic pain that I was desperate and practically in tears. Two months later, I am now 90% pain-free. Visits are informative, productive, and comforting. Danielle is an all-star physical therapist and an all-star human!"

Working with an Out of Network Provider

At Cultivate Pelvic Health Physical Therapy, you have access to expert pelvic health care that is designed uniquely for you because we do not contract directly with insurance companies.  This allows for more individualized care and more time with your therapist for the best possible experience.  This type of care can be more affordable and there are no surprise costs, as fees for services will be paid up front similar to other services like a hair cut, massage, or naturopath which may be reimbursed by your insurance company.  Accepted forms of payment include cash/check, credit card, HSA/FSA card, and Venmo.  Call us to learn how our patient-centered care model will work for you!
