Deena’s passion for pelvic health began shortly after graduating PT school in 2005.  Over the years she has taken extensive pelvic physical therapy course work through the Herman & Wallace Institute for Pelvic Rehabilitation and APTA’s Women’s Health Section.  She is a manual therapist that uses visceral, myofascial, trigger point and strain/counterstain techniques during her treatments.  Deena is also certified in ART for the Spine and in Myofascial Decompression Cupping Therapy Technique. She has worked as an orthopedic therapist in conjunction with pelvic health and is trained in running gait analysis and proper bike fitting.  She is a triathlete and runner and understands the importance of using a multitude of exercises in conjunction with manual techniques to return her patients to sports and pain-free normal daily activities. She thoroughly enjoys the challenge of a difficult diagnosis including GI conditions, pelvic pain, urinary frequency/incontinence, as well as the journey of treating patients prenatally and then following up with them post-partum.
