Use this growing directory if you are looking for a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist near you!

We are looking to continue to expand and have Pelvic Floor Physical Therapists of color from around the world. While you can always ask your primary care doctor to refer you to a trusted Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, sometimes that route is difficult and you don't know who or what quality of a therapist you'll be getting. These are all pelvic floor Physical Therapist I recommend if you would like to either work with one in person or seek out any other services they can help you with. This specific directory is dedicated to women of color in the field of Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy because there is poor representation and support for black and brown physical therapist who are experienced, empathetic, and effective at what they do. This directory was made to try and shorten the gap of mis-representation among Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist and send more patients to the minority professionals. If you find a therapist who looks like a match, reach out to them and tell them that the "vagina rehab doctor" sent you. Browse and book!
If you are a Woman of Color Physical Therapist who treats pelvic floor or if you know of one, please don't hesitate to share this page, the button below links to our form so that we can add more professionals to our directory! We update the director quarterly and will have our next update!

She has always been fascinated by how the human body heals, and to be able to empower others to take control of their pain, affected mobility, and function has continuously fueled her passion.

Whether it's pain, weakness, fatigue, pregnancy related aches and pains, various forms of incontinence, or impaired sexual function, Angela wants individuals to know that they don't have to accept these issues as "that's just the way it is," and that they can be the best versions of themselves with less pain and limitations

Richa Rehan PT
Richa Rehan founded Harmony Physiotherapy and The Pelvic Experts in 2010 to fill the many gaps in care for people suffering from pelvic health conditions. As a past national-level basketball player, she understood the negative impact of muscle injuries and pelvic health conditions firsthand. She saw too many women being told that their symptoms (i.e. bladder leakage, pelvic pain, pain with sex, etc.) were normal or that there was nothing that they could do about them. The only solutions these women were told were to take pain medication, undergo invasive procedures, or just live with it. Richa made it her mission to educate people about their pelvic health issues, which may be common, but are definitely not normal! She strives to help people make the best decisions about their pelvic health while creating a positive healing experience.
She is a mother, a scholar, and an athlete. As a mother, Richa knows how difficult it can be to prioritize health and fitness. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, yoga, running, traveling, volunteering, and spending time with her husband, daughter, and their golden retriever.
