Conditions we Treat

  • Pelvic pain can be the result of multiple conditions, such as vaginismus, prolapse, painful bladder syndrome or interstitial cystitis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), pudendal neuralgia, or endometriosis. Also treating post-vasectomy pain syndrome.

  • Whether it be urinary incontinence, frequency, urgency, chronic UTIs, incomplete bladder emptying, constipation, or fecal incontinence, pelvic floor PT can help. Pelvic floor PT can also benefit urinary incontinence pre or post prostatectomy.

  • Orthopedic conditions such as low back pain, pelvic girdle pain, hip pain, SI joint pain, or sciatica.

  • Ensuring your pregnancy journey goes smoothly by providing education and exercises to alleviate pelvic girdle pain, low back pain, pubic symphysis pain, and urinary leakage. Helping prepare for labor and birth including strategies to reduce risk of perineal tearing.

  • Patients can begin pelvic floor PT at 3-4 weeks postpartum to address urinary leakage, constipation, pain with sex, diastasis recti (DRA), pelvic organ prolapse, C-section pain, post perineal tearing, as well as assist in getting back to exercise.

  • Treating conditions such as pelvic floor weakness, pain with sex, urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, vaginal dryness, chronic UTIs, and joint pain.

  • I always feel understood and empowered by both the education/awareness she offers, in addition to the therapeutic exercises targeted to my specific needs - all of which take place from the comfort of my own home. Allison has been extremely easy to work with, kind, understanding, and even extended her positivity toward my toddler during her visits. I began this journey with the hope that I could be find relief from my symptoms. I feel I have gained this, and so much more!

Transformative Care for your Wellbeing

Fitting in with Your Life

In-home and virtual appointments ensure that care is convenient and easily accessible to you - whether caring for a newborn, juggling a busy work schedule, or attending multiple doctor’s visits.

Multidisciplinary Care

Staying in touch with your OBGYN, urologist, PCP, lactation consultant, or anyone on your team means that we are on top of every aspect of your health.

Progress over Perfection

Every individual is on their own health journey and has different goals. Our goal is to empower you to make self-care and acceptance a daily ritual.

Evidence-Based and Personalized

We are committed to staying up to date with the latest research to always utilize the most effective techniques to help achieve your goals.

Passionate about Your Care

Pelvic health IS healthcare - and we go above and beyond to ensure your symptoms do not get swept under the rug.

Pregnancy and Birth Prep

One of the programs we offer is pregnancy and birth preparation. Whether during your first trimester and looking for guidelines for a safe exercise program, or if pain/symptoms come up later in pregnancy making it difficult to keep up your normal routine, we are here to help.

During the third trimester, the focus will shift to helping prepare you for labor and birth, through techniques like pelvic floor muscle training, labor positions, and perineal massage, all which can reduce risk of perineal tearing during birth and reduce the risk of incontinence postpartum.

Many clients that I work with share how uncertain they feel during pregnancy. The prevailing notion around pregnancy for years was for women to rest and avoid exercise during this time - but research shows how beneficial physical activity is for your health and for your birth journey. It’s a great way to show yourself how strong and capable you are!

  • Allison helped me during pregnancy and to have a smooth labor and delivery! Allison takes the time for her clients and structures each session to address their specific needs. This was my first pregnancy and having Allison’s support early on was such a comfort. She kept me informed of what to expect and strategies that helped manage common symptoms of pregnancy. She took her time to answer my questions in a professional and caring manner, and I felt so informed throughout the entirety of my pregnancy!

pelvic floor physical therapist

About Me

Hi! I’m Dr. Allison Van Hook, and I am a pelvic floor physical therapist. I have worked at some of the top institutions in the country treating orthopedics, patients with neurological conditions, and medically complex cancer patients. The more I treated, the more I realized how pelvic floor function impacts us ALL. Many of my patients with low back pain had corresponding constipation. In the hospital, many of my patient sessions were put on pause due to urinary or bowel incontinence. It was clear how devastating UTI’s were, especially for patients in the ICU who would suffer from a decline in cognition as a result. However, there were no conversations or options for pelvic floor treatment.

My passion is patient advocacy and access to care. People of all walks of life struggle with pelvic floor issues, and they too often get swept under the rug or written off as normal. This is unacceptable. Unable to provide the standard of care I knew I was capable of in a clinic setting, I started my own practice. I am committed to evidence-based, personalized care that gets my patients back to their lives - faster.

Following graduate school, my learning has continued through post-doctoral training in pelvic floor dysfunction, pregnancy rehabilitation, cancer rehabilitation, and excellence in treating orthopedic conditions.
