BIG NEWS at Fern PT!

After settling into her rhythm over the last few months, Gina is now officially opening her schedule to pediatric pelvic floor patients and we could not be more excited for the families in our community.

Pediatric pelvic floor therapy is a gentle, developmentally supportive approach that helps children who are struggling with bladder, bowel, or pelvic muscle coordination. Kids often don’t have the language to explain what’s wrong but their bodies tell us a lot.

Common reasons families seek pediatric pelvic floor care include:
✨ Bedwetting or daytime urinary accidents
✨ Constipation, withholding, or painful bowel movements
✨ Urgency, frequency, or “just in case” peeing
✨ Difficulty relaxing pelvic muscles
✨ Toilet-training challenges
✨ Abdominal pain related to bowel/bladder issues
✨ Anxiety or fear around the bathroom
✨ Post-void dribbling or leaking
✨ Recurrent UTIs without a clear medical cause

With her kindness, gentleness, and steady presence, Gina is the perfect fit for supporting little ones and their caregivers. She brings a trauma-informed, connection-based approach and follows the same explicit consent standards we uphold across all Fern PT services adapted thoughtfully for children and families.

Every session is grounded in:
🌿 Play and movement
🌿 Clear, age-appropriate explanations
🌿 Evidence-based strategies
🌿 Collaboration with parents and caregivers
🌿 A calm, safe therapeutic environment

If your child has been struggling with bladder or bowel symptoms, or if potty learning has felt stressful, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Gina is here to help your child feel confident and supported and to help YOU feel informed and empowered.

✨ NEW WORKSHOP: Potty Training Foundations ✨

Potty Ready, Not Rushed
Doctor Gina Ellis, PT, DPT
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist

This 60-minute workshop is designed for families with toddlers ages 2–4 who want a calm, confident, readiness-based approach to potty learning. Parents and children learn together in one supportive, judgment-free session.

Gina will guide families through how bladder and bowel readiness develops, which body signals actually matter, how to support healthy voiding and bowel habits, and how to reduce fear, withholding, or regression. Parents will gain simple, evidence-based strategies they can begin using right away, along with a clear understanding of what true readiness looks like.

At the same time, children will explore gentle, play-based activities that teach body cues and “go” language, introduce the steps of using the toilet, ease common fears, and build confidence. Kids will also practice basic toilet hygiene and engage in a minimal, child-friendly anatomy lesson to support body awareness and pelvic floor coordination.

This workshop supports families in building confident potty skills rooted in readiness, calm, and connection.

Choosing to remain out-of-network isn’t about being exclusive, it’s about being able to provide the level of care patients actually need.

Insurance companies often limit treatment frequency, dictate what codes “should” be used, and cap reimbursement in ways that compromise quality.

By staying independent, we can give you:
• longer sessions (ours are always a full hour)
• 1:1 care with no juggling multiple patients
• treatment plans based on your body, not an insurer’s checklist
• the freedom to blend sports, ortho, pelvic floor, and performance care without barriers

We know the insurance side can feel frustrating but this model is what allows us to offer the care you’ve heard so many good things about.

Thank you for supporting small, patient-centered care at Fern PT. 💚🌿

🌿 Coffee Walk and Talk Reflections 🌿

Today’s walk and talk was one of those days that just fills your heart up. I got to catch up with an old friend from college, Dana Panetta, who just opened her own private mental health practice (Panetta Mental Health). And then, as if the day wasn’t already full of good energy, we ran into at .

Standing in the coffee shop, I looked around at all the women and their babies… remembering some of those little ones as tiny newborns, and remembering the tears, the conversations, the struggles shared, and the way these women showed up for each other.

My heart felt so full thinking back to their conversations over the last year when they were so brave and open to share their struggles. Sharing through tears and supporting one another. My heart felt so full to be in a position to hold space for them all. But also, in the same breath, thinking that what they may never realize is how much they have helped and held me, too.

Here’s to women supporting women. To growth, to new chapters, and to community that goes both ways.

Honoring all who have served.

Veterans Day holds special meaning for me not only as a military wife navigating almost two decades of service and four deployments, but also as a physical therapist deeply honored to serve the veterans who walk through my door.

Treating this population while also being in the thick of military life myself creates a unique and meaningful bond. For their service, and for the trust they place in me, for sharing their stories, I am forever grateful.

Today and every day, Fern Physical Therapy honors you.
