About Purple Mountain Physical Therapy, Your Specialty Clinic for Pelvic, Back, Neck and TMJ Disorders

Are you tired of dealing with ongoing challenges of pelvic floor dysfunction, back pain, headaches, neck pain or TMJ pain, with no clear path to improvement?

It’s a journey that can be frustrating, but you don’t have to navigate it on your own. Purple Mountain Physical Therapy offers you specialized and holistic care for your pelvic, back, neck and TMJ disorders.

Our patients frequently share with us that working with our specialist physical therapists, in a clinic dedicated to treating their condition, has provided hope and the ability to improve their quality of life while resolving their concerns.

In fact, here is one person’s words about her experience treating her chronic SI joint pain and pelvic floor dysfunction: “I cannot say enough good things about my Purple Mountain physical therapist! After a year of jumping between PTs, surgeons, pain specialists, and more I was losing hope. No one was willing to listen to me and treat my body as a unit and instead I received random services for one problem at a time.

She is the kindest most comprehensive PT I could ask for. She is incredibly intelligent, empathetic, and educational. I’ve learned more about how my body functions from her than any previous PT. She truly listened to me and my entire history. I was told my pain would be chronic and something I’d have to deal with forever by a pain specialist. She has managed to help me have pain free days in just a few weeks! I cannot recommend her enough”

At Purple Mountain PT, our dedicated specialist physical therapists provide you answers, comprehensive treatment and trauma-informed care.

We genuinely enjoy getting to know you and helping you reach your goals by providing specialized treatment and a whole-body approach. Your experience with our physical therapists includes personalized treatments delivered in private, one-on-one appointments. You will find our clinic to be welcoming, comfortable and a place of healing.

Our whole-body framework ensures that every aspect of your condition is addressed comprehensively.

You receive a truly personalized and specialized approach to your treatment for pelvic, back, TMJ or neck conditions. To do this, your appointments with our specialist physical therapist are private, one-on-one for upto 55-minutes, working with an experienced physical therapist, who has advanced post-graduate training specific to pelvic, spine and TMJ disorders and guides you through your treatment. Our licensed PTs are trained in the specifics of adult (male, female and transgender) and pediatric treatments.

This patient illustrates the benefit of our approach quite well, in the following review: “5 stars aren’t enough! With each visit my body feels more and more relaxed and she is so brilliant with navigating what my body needs and how to help my pain. I came with concerns for my chronic TMJ issues and daily headaches and not only has she helped alleviate those issues just after a few weeks but has helped my whole body from head to toe from so much discomfort and gives me tips and tricks for what I can do at home to strengthen my muscles and prevent pain. She is AMAZING and the nicest lady you’ll ever meet. She deserves 100 stars!”

Every session is customized to your unique needs and progressively advanced to ensure that you consistently demonstrate strides toward improvement.

Our goal is to ensure that you feel better, experience results, are well cared for and understand how to help yourself. Our holistic approach considers the interconnectedness of your mind, body, and systems, focusing on your specific concern and the overall function and harmony within your body.

We use a variety of specialized treatments including manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, posture and balance training and rehabilitative ultrasound imaging

Our manual therapies, including myofascial mobilization, trigger point release, joint mobilization, visceral and abdominal mobilization, and nerve calming are coupled with techniques for pelvic, spine and TMJ alignment and stretching.

We blend these with therapeutic exercises to improve your posture, balance, muscle dysfunction, nerve impairments, weakness, and tension. By customizing your exercises based on your ability and continually providing you guidance and instructions to optimize your movement patterns, breath control, ribcage, posture, deep core activation and coordination of your systems, you will experience results.

For an extra dimension of care, Purple Mountain PT offers rehabilitative ultrasound imaging, allowing you to see your abdominals, low back muscles, diaphragm, and pelvic floor in action while you exercise. Our postpartum moms appreciate that with ultrasound we can measure their diastasis recti abdominis, help their pelvic floor retrain and improve their deep core muscle activity.

Here’s one postpartum mom’s 5-star review: “The quality of care you receive at Purple Mountain PT is far above and beyond any other physical therapy I have had over the years! I can confidently say they are by far the most knowledgeable and effective clinicians I have ever seen. I first came to Purple Mountain seeking treatment for my pelvic floor issues postpartum, and combined with my history of posture issues and shoulder injury I came to them at what felt like rock bottom. They are very knowledgeable and compassionate, I have learned so much from them about how these issues are interconnected and have gained a level of understanding about my own body that I never was previously aware of. I have felt so supported and empowered through my recovery, and I am confident that I will end up better than I even was before my pregnancy thanks to the expert care! I cannot recommend them enough – pelvic floor dysfunction, back pain, posture issues and more – your whole body harmony and wellness is not something to be taken lightly, and in the right hands you can get remarkable results and be set up for long term success! They are truly one in a million and I am forever grateful that I found Purple Mountain Physical Therapy!”
