Your Trusted Pelvic Floor Therapy in Berkeley, CA
Therapy Roo was founded in 2016 to address critical gaps in women's pelvic floor healthcare. As a board-certified Women's Health Clinical Specialist with over a decade of experience in neurological and pelvic floor physical therapy, I recognized that many women struggle to access specialized care due to scheduling constraints, lack of childcare, and limited clinic availability. Our in-home treatment model eliminates these barriers while maintaining clinical excellence through advanced diagnostic techniques and personalized rehabilitation programs. We combine direct access privileges in California with flexible appointment scheduling to accommodate postpartum recovery, chronic pelvic pain management, and urinary incontinence treatment.Our evidence-based approach integrates internal and external assessment methods, body mechanics training, and customized home exercise programs developed through 75-90 minute comprehensive sessions. With specialized training from Herman & Wallace and clinical experience across major Bay Area medical systems, we deliver targeted interventions for conditions ranging from diastasis recti to endometriosis-related pelvic pain while maintaining strict infection control protocols during home visits.
