What We Treat
Pelvic health issues are common, but not often talked about. They can make you feel disconnected from, and out of control in your own body. You may even worry what you're experiencing is the new normal, and you're relegated to a life of leaking, pain, or limitations in how you exercise, move your body, or engage in sexual intimacy.
​
At Core Connections, we know that change is possible with specialized pelvic health care and a plan that is unique to you and your healing.
"I’d tried everything for my back pain—chiropractors, massages, Pilates, yoga—but nothing seemed to give me the relief. But after a few weeks with Dr. Leanna, the pain was gone. Life feels so much brighter now!"
"During my birth I used every single lesson from Pelvic Floor PT with Dr. Leanna - literally the best thing I could have done to prepare for birth."
“Dr. Leanna guided me through my Postpartum recovery with a thoughtful approach that strengthened my core, restored my confidence, and helped me safely return to my active lifestyle."
