Dr. Carrie is a women’s pelvic health physical therapist providing practical solutions and applicable strategies to support pregnancy and postpartum.

If you already have one, please bring it to your first session.

No referral? No problem. Virginia has limited “Direct Access” Physical Therapy. Virginia law allows licensed physical therapists to provide direct physical therapy evaluation and treatment services for up to 30 consecutive days without obtaining a referral/prescription from a physician or other healthcare provider. If treatment is necessary beyond the initial 30 day period, the physical therapist will communicate with your physician to obtain authorization to continue treatment as needed.

My job is to take a look at your complaint, get it all out on the table, walk around it, look at it from all angles, figure out what you’ve tackled, where we need to bring in support, and what the most viable path is to getting you back to doing what you want to do. That may be getting back to your sport, having pain-free intercourse, staying dry when you’re running after your kids or not being afraid to leave your home because of loss of bowel and bladder control.

I use the latest in evidence to help guide our clinical decision making and work with you as a primary member of your healthcare team to get you back to life again.

My practice specializes in women. To find a physical therapist who treats men, please check here on the PT Locator.

I offer virtual telehealth visits (Virginia only) or if you’re out of state, virtual consultations are available as well.

Absolutely! There are no contraindications to internal pelvic floor work when you have your period. Often, there’s plenty of work to do externally so no need to take a break from treatment during your period.

Active infection (yeast, urinary tract/bladder) is a contraindication for internal work.

Internal treatment will always be a collaborative decision we make together!

No, I am not a participating provider with Medicare. If you have Medicare coverage, you may only be seen by a Physical Therapist who is a participating provider with Medicare.

I accept full payment at the time of service. You will be provided with a superbill you may choose to use to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement depending upon your individual plan.

I provide a worksheet (download here) you can use to assist you in learning more about your benefits.

I ask that you provide at least a 48 hour notice if it becomes necessary to cancel or change an appointment. If I do not receive proper notice, 100% of the amount due will be charged to your account.
