Real Stories From Bethesda Patients Who Found Relief
“I cannot recommend Alicia enough! I found her at 13 months postpartum after seeing several other PFPTs and a urogyn and finding no relief. I had really given up hope that I could feel good and strong in my body again. Alicia taught me so much and also helped reassure that I am not broken. She is warm and validating and so thoughtful. I am so grateful I found her and ITR!”
–Emma Carpenter
“I truly cannot recommend Alicia enough. After my C-section, I was experiencing nerve pain that no one seemed to understand. I saw multiple providers — and each time, I left feeling dismissed, or told ‘this is just how it is after surgery.’ When I called ITR I was referred to Alicia because she specializes in nerve-related postpartum pain. From the very first session, I felt something shift. She didn’t just hear me — she understood.”
–Katie Olderman
“I had the privilege of working with Liza M. as my pelvic floor PT from 20 weeks pregnant through 10 weeks postpartum with my second child, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. During pregnancy, she equipped me with exercises to stay comfortable and virtually pain-free, and she taught me different pushing positions, breathing strategies, and techniques that gave me confidence going into labor.”
–Kelly O’Shields

Pelvic Pain Treatment FAQs
Get answers to common questions about pelvic floor physical therapy near me
What should I expect at my first pelvic pain treatment appointment?
Your first visit is a comprehensive one-hour evaluation. Your specialist will discuss your complete health history, symptoms, and goals in detail. The assessment may include a pelvic floor evaluation if appropriate and comfortable for you. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your condition and a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Does insurance cover pelvic floor physical therapy?
Yes! We are in-network with most major insurance providers. Pelvic floor physical therapy is a covered benefit under most plans. We recommend calling your insurance company to verify your specific coverage and any co-pays or deductibles. Our staff is happy to help you understand your benefits.
Is pelvic pain treatment painful or uncomfortable?
No. Our therapists use gentle, evidence-based techniques designed to reduce pain, not cause it. We prioritize your comfort and always work within your tolerance. You are in complete control, and we never perform any treatment without your consent and understanding. Many patients report feeling relief even after their first session.
How long does pelvic pain treatment take to work?
Every patient is unique, but many people notice improvements within the first few sessions. A typical treatment plan ranges from 6-12 weeks, depending on your condition and goals. Your therapist will provide a realistic timeline during your evaluation and adjust your plan as you progress.
