Fern Physical Therapy, PLLC

You’re not making it up, and you’re not the problem.

You just haven’t been given the full picture yet.

Whether you come for physical therapy or mental health, you deserve a thorough assessment, honest answers, and care that actually connects the dots.

No more
“just do kegels”
“just breathe more”
“just manage your stress”
“just communicate better.”

It makes sense that you’re confused when no one has taken the time to actually explain what’s going on.

You deserve care that listens,
looks deeper,
and stays.

Not quick fixes.
Not dismissal.
Not being sent somewhere else without a plan.

Two perspectives. One standard of care. We don’t stop at the surface.

In the middle of the night, in your head…
you should see the things we do.

Rewiring patterns.
Rebuilding strength.
Changing the story from both sides.

We see what others miss.

Your tongue position while you tell us about why you’re here.
How often “I don’t know” really means “it doesn’t feel safe to say.”

Gripping your upper abs or clenching your glutes even at “rest”.
The protective parts that show up as perfectionism, over-explaining, or shutting down.

The way you shift your pelvis forward or weight to one side especially when you hold your kiddo.
When someone minimizes their own pain but can easily validate everyone else’s.

How your knees dive in and feet collapse when you bend down to get your bag.
How “I’m fine” often lives alongside a dysregulated body.

Saying things like, “I know my abs are split. I know my prolapse is causing my back pain.”
Inner voices that sound suspiciously like a parent, partner, or past caregiver.

The patterns your body learned…
and the stories your brain kept.

Watching Gina step into her role as a pediatric pelvic floor PT has been so special.
She connects with kids in a way that makes them want to come back—and that’s where real progress happens.

Grateful for families who trust us with their kids 🤍

Most people know me for blending sports orthopedics and pelvic floor work.

But what many don’t realize… I also treat the jaw.

Over the last 8 years, I’ve followed a parallel path—through my clinical work and through my own kids—that kept leading me back to the connection between the jaw, airway, and the rest of the body.

Neck pain, headaches, jaw tension… it’s rarely just one piece.

The best outcomes happen when the right team is involved.

I’m really lucky to collaborate with providers who truly understand that whole-body connection.

And thank you to for being my model ❤️

April’s Coffee Walk & Talk is extra special… it’s our TWO YEAR anniversary 🥹☕🌿

Two years ago, this started as a “let’s just see who shows up” kind of idea.

Honestly, I started it for me.
As a mom of a newborn with an older kiddo in school, running a new business, I needed friends. I needed community. I needed a reason to move my body and drink good coffee with people who just get it.

So I made Fern Coffee Walk & Talk.

And somehow… it turned into this.

A space to move, talk, vent, laugh, and just be human together.
A space that has grown into something so much more meaningful than I ever expected.

Come celebrate TWO YEARS of Coffee Walk & Talks with us:

📅 Friday, April 24
🕛 12–1: Walk the rail trail
☕ 1–2 (or until close): Coffee + hang at Brewtus

We’ll walk east for about 30 minutes, then turn around and head back.
If you’re late, just jump on the trail and walk east—you’ll find us.

No pressure. No expectations. Just show up as you are.

No photos from today… which honestly means it was a really good one.
Too busy talking, connecting, laughing, and just being human together.

The only photo I did take? My daughter passed out mid-walk and somehow stayed asleep for most of the coffee part… which is truly an anomaly 😂
(And Kate at Chat Speech is strictly not allowed to see it because Ainsley’s out cold, mouth wide open)

So here’s a little clip from our very first Coffee Walk & Talk back in April 2024.
Almost two years later and it’s still one of my favorite things we do.

No pressure. No expectations. Just movement, fresh air, and really good conversation.

If you’ve been meaning to come… this is your sign.

See you next month! ☕🌿

There’s nothing better than hearing this from someone who trusted us with their care 🤍

Not because we did something magical…
But because we slowed down, listened, and looked at the whole picture.

You’re not a collection of symptoms.
You’re a system. And you deserve to be treated like one.

Yesterday we shared a strength-based PT session.

But not every rehab plan starts there.

Sometimes the first step is reconnecting breathing, the core, and the pelvic floor so the body can manage pressure and support movement again.

This type of work is often where we begin when someone is experiencing:

• postpartum core changes
• abdominal doming
• pelvic floor symptoms
• back discomfort
• difficulty coordinating breath with movement
• feeling anxious or unregulated

These movements help the body relearn how to stabilize, lengthen, and generate force without overloading the pelvic floor.

Positions like a deep squat can gently lengthen the pelvic floor while improving hip mobility and helping the body restore more natural movement patterns.

Rehab isn’t always intense.

But it’s always intentional.

At Fern PT we help people move from
connection → strength → performance.

Rehab can be gentle. And it can also lead you back to lifting heavy.

Save this to try later.
