Specializing in: Pelvic Physical Therapy for Women and Children, and Pre/Postnatal Care
You're in the right place!
And you are not alone. Pelvic health conditions can be complex to manage on your own, but they are often treatable, and you don’t have to live with them. I come with a wealth of both personal and clinical experience, and work closely with other practitioners to stay at the forefront of pelvic health care for your benefit. I offer one- and two-hour private appointments in a clinic dedicated solely to addressing pelvic health, so you're not talking about all your issues in a physical therapy clinic that address all kinds of other things. I can’t wait to show you all the things easy and hard, that you HAVEN'T been told can help!
Services:
Bladder and Bowel Concerns
Bladder pain, urgency, frequency (day and night- no more mapping out bathrooms before you leave the house!), recurrent UTIs, and leaking, along with painful/hesitant urine or bowel emptying. I can help you return to restful sleep, normal bladder/bowel habits, and fulfilling exercise and movement that you love!
Pelvic Pain and Pressure
Pelvic floor physical therapy is integral in managing pelvic organ prolapse and/or pressure, pelvic pain related to movement, intimacy, tampon use, and gynecological exams. You may have been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (IC), endometriosis, vulvodynia, vaginismus, pudendal neuralgia, or not have a diagnosis at all - come find out all of the things you HAVEN'T been told you can do to help!
Back, Hip, Abdominal, Tailbone, Pelvic and Weakness
Orthopedic pain can have a relationship with your pelvic floor. This is especially true if you have tried and failed more traditional physical therapy. Pelvic PT is uniquely qualified to evaluate and treat your symptoms from all possible sources.
Pregnancy and Postpartum (even MANY years postpartum!)
Safe exercise during pregnancy and safe recovery afterward, pain/discomfort prevention and management (think pubic bone and lower back/SI.. and more), diastasis, c-section recovery, scar tissue, vaginal birth recovery, birth/pushing prep, AND SO MUCH MORE. There can be a lot of fear around how to manage these issues. I am able to look at your specific concerns and body, and help you sort through information from your physician, midwife, and tiktok, of course. The earlier I see you postpartum, the better, but recovery occurs even many years postpartum.
Pelvic Health Services for Children
I support school-aged children (and their families) who are struggling with persisting bowel and bladder incontinence, constipation, and bedwetting.
Hi There, I'm Dr. Charlotte Leary
I'm your person. And I'm passionate about getting to the root cause of your issue, so that you have long-term recovery from your symptoms. Often, you are able to meet goals you didn't even know that you had. I use education, hands-on techniques, and individually tailored movement prescription to support you in your journey.

Expert, trauma-informed care.
You are treated by an experienced pelvic health physical therapist. Your goals are my goals, and all exam and treatment choices are made together with you. Your lifestyle and preferences are joyfully respected in this clinic.
Holistic Approach
I'm not just looking at your pelvis. Sleep, stress, nutrition, breathing, and other musculoskeletal considerations may all be playing a role. We will address them all.
When you call this clinic, I answer the phone, or call you back.
No long hold times or confusing voicemail systems here. Even if you don't intend to book with me, I am always open to chat about your issue, and can often send you in the direction best suited for you.
