Bootcamp Athletes

Bootcamp Athletes Pelvic Prescription

Bootcamp-style workouts have grown in popularity, but they demand a lot from your body (especially your pelvic floor!), combining high-intensity cardio and strength training. These workouts can challenge your pelvic health, especially if you’re dealing with diastasis, leakage, prolapse, or core instability. Your body has to withstand the demand these types of workouts put on it in order to be pain-free, leak-free, and pressure-free. Pelvic Prescription works with bootcamp athletes to ensure their bodies are strong and supported so they can push their limits without worrying about pain or discomfort.

We can help with:

  • Addressing leakage or pelvic pressure or prolapse that occurs during high-impact exercises or jumping.
  • Treating diastasis recti or abdominal separation to restore core strength and stability.
  • Strengthening your pelvic floor to support heavy lifts and explosive movements.
  • Resolving hip or back pain caused by improper mechanics or muscle imbalances.
  • Guiding you toward safer exercise techniques to prevent future issues.

Specialties:

  • Ab Separation
  • Urinary Leakage
  • Hip & Back Pain
  • Prolapse
  • Pelvic Pain

What We Help With:

Hip & Back Pain

Testimonials

I am 2 years postpartum and have really struggled with healing my diastasis recti. I am a very active person but constantly struggled with back and knee pain. The internet suggestions were NOT working. A friend of mine told me about Pelvic Prescription PT so I decided to check them out. I am sooo glad I did! The staff is so welcoming and Dr. Nicole is awesome!!! She is very thorough, a great listener, understanding, encouraging, and has been such a blessing in my healing journey. I have learned so much and already see results in a matter of a few weeks. Ladies, do yourself a favor and go to Pelvic Prescription. You will not be disappointed!
I had so much pain from endometriosis for over a decade that after surgery, I thought my mild pain was normal. I came to Pelvic Prescription on my surgeon’s recommendation, and I’m so glad I did. Dr. Lydia has helped my pain already and I’m only 1/3 through the program. The ladies there are so kind and professional and actually listen to you and your needs and tailor a plan for you. Big bonus- you can bring your kiddos!
In a long journey of PTs, doctors, and feeling a bit helpless, Dr. Lydia has been very kind, caring and most importantly helping me feel at ease with treatment. She genuinely cares about helping you along to a positive outcome. Don’t hesitate from being afraid or embarrassed. I am so grateful to have started on this journey.

This place is great. Clean, professional, organized. After an umbilical hernia repair I was having all sorts of issues and pelvic pain that Pelvic Prescription helped me overcome. I honestly think physical therapy should be a required recovery practice from any surgical procedure at this point; can’t speak highly enough about Nicole and the team here.

Pelvic Prescription has worked with me during my pregnancy for pelvic pain. They were able to resolve my concerns quickly whereas other practices in town never fully addressed my concerns. They are truly experts and approach care in a comprehensive and individualized way. They have empowered me to be a partner in my continued physical therapy maintenance and I am very grateful for their approach. I couldn’t recommend them more.

Dr. Lydia saved my pelvic floor during my pregnancy journey. I ended up having severe pelvic pain and she was able to provide pelvic floor care, equip me with helpful exercises and recommended useful tools to alleviate the pain and get me back into my daily routine. Her work continued to prep myself and also my husband with labor positions and breathing techniques to assist with my delivery process. Finally, Dr. Lydia rose to the occasion once more and provided treatment postpartum to assist with strengthening my core and hips. Two main areas my body weakened through my pregnancy and postpartum phase. Dr. Lydia helped me achieve my goal of becoming a strong mom and comfortably caring for my newborn. I am beyond grateful for all Dr. Lydia offered me throughout my time at Pelvic Prescription. All the ladies at the office know you by name, even when you’re not their patient! It truly is a home-y and family environment when you walk into the room.
– A.B.
Dr. Lydia has been an absolute joy to work with. I had severe hip pain during my pregnancy. Not only did she help make my pain manageable, she gave me stretches and exercises to keep me as mobile as possible. Her birth prep helped my husband and I both feel so confident going into delivery. My postpartum recovery has been significantly better than with my first and I contribute a lot of that to the support I had from Pelvic Prescription. An absolute must for anyone who is pregnant (even if you’re not having any pain or problems!).
– K.S.
After having my baby, I couldn’t exercise without leakage problems. I had put off pelvic PT for a while because I was nervous about how the appointment would go. Dr. Amy made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. I saw an immediate reduction in leakage! I’m so grateful to be able to do jumping jacks again and run around with my daughter without fear of peeing my pants.
– K.S.
I reached out to Dr. Amy a year and a half after my first child was born due to an annoyance that I’ve always been told was a “normal” part of motherhood—leakage (especially with exercise). Her approachability, kindness, and effective methods have taken me from embarrassed about my healing process (or lack thereof…), to empowered in understanding my pelvic floor, to literally wanting to shout on the rooftops “WHY HAS NO ONE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE?!” She’s even helped address some low back/hip issues that I didn’t realize were connected to my pelvic floor. Her guidance has helped get my body back in working order and has given me the knowledge on how to exercise properly. I’m much more confident in my workouts! I honestly wasn’t sure that my symptoms were severe enough to warrant PT, but I’m glad I didn’t downplay what was going on—my treatments have made a big difference. I really think every mom deserves to have PT like this! The way Dr. Amy has taught me to understand and care for my body has made it feel like “mine” again. Highly recommend!!

After much research I came across Pelvic Prescription. I have a mild prolapse & the only option my OB gave me was “to do kegels”. I was frustrated, in pain & knew from the research I did there was more to it than that. After reading all their success stories, I knew I had to give them a shot. I am sooo glad I did! I drive almost 2hrs for my weekly appointment. It’s truly the highlight of my week. Dr. Nicole is an answered prayer! She’s very thorough & listens to all my concerns. She’s excellent at helping me identify problem areas & addressing it. She has tailored everything I’m doing based on where I’m at. I am still early on in my program but I have already seen progress. If you are remotely thinking of trying them out, do it! You owe it to yourself!
– D.M.
I highly recommend Pelvic Prescription for pelvic floor issues & bowel/bladder problems. Dr. Nicole is my PT & she is so awesome! She is very easy to talk to about personal issues like prolapsed uterus & bowel/bladder problems. She is teaching me how to strengthen my pelvic floor with home exercises. She is teaching me how to breathe when lifting my patient & when exercising. She is helping me with my bowel & bladder issues. I wish I knew about Pelvic PT years ago when my uterus first prolapsed. I was very happy to see Pelvic Prescription on social media. It’s so good to know that there are other women with pelvic floor issues, that I am not alone.
– L.B.
Dr. Amy and Dr. Nicole are magical humans and PTs. I came to Pelvic Prescription 2 years postpartum for diastasis recti that made my belly pooch out significantly and kept me from wearing certain clothes and performing certain workout movements. They listened to my end goal and worked from the ground up to heal my stomach. They gave me homework each week that brought me one step closer to my goals. When I told them what workouts I was doing they listened, they understood the movement, and then they watched me do the movement to make sure I was doing it safely while still healing my diastasis. If you have had a baby, are pregnant, or are going to have a baby go see them. They are so knowledgeable and caring!
– D.M.
I’ve been working with Lydia since December to manage my interstitial cystitis symptoms. She has always been there for me, moving appointments around to help me manage my flares. I cannot recommend her enough.
– A.P.
Dr. Amy has changed my life! I really thought there was something wrong with me for so long because sex was so painful. Turns out my muscles are just terribly constricted. She has helped me immensely and educated me so much on the pelvic area and the muscles in that area. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She has helped me physically as well as teaching me relaxation techniques. If you have any issues pertaining to the pelvic or lower back area definitely give her a call. She’s such a wonderful person!!!

These ladies helped me overcome YEARS of pelvic pain and issues that multiple doctors could not do!! I literally have a better quality of life after completing my treatment plan with them. I am so very grateful for Dr. Nicole and the compassion, knowledge, and expert care that she gave to me. Pelvic Prescription is a MUST for any woman experiencing pelvic issues!
– C.L.
I went to Dr. Amy after several months of unbearable pelvic pain and pressure, and failed attempts of getting answers from multiple ER visits, urgent care visits, and even visiting with my gynecologist and urologist. From the first appointment, I was confident that Amy would help me not only reduce or eliminate my pain but help me figure out the causes for my discomfort. With each appointment, my pain levels reduced (started around 8-9 down to a 1-2)! My mind is blown with how helpful physical therapy has been with Amy, and she’s an incredible asset in the community. Highly highly recommend!
– K.G.
Working with Amy has given me my life back. I have had chronic back and hip pain that at my age (60), combined with weak pelvic floor muscles, had gotten to the point that I was not comfortable when out in public for fear of an embarrassing accident. Not a fan of drugs or surgery, I met Amy who through patience, exercise and physical therapy has given me the confidence to once again enjoy the things I love like yoga, biking, long walks and more! She is amazing and has taught me how to manage the problems I was having in ways that I am comfortable with. I am so glad I went this route and don’t think I would have seen such good results had it not been for Amy’s kind, thoughtful, and caring approach.
– C.W.
I was suffering from hip pain while preparing for my first powerlifting competition and was referred to Pelvic Prescription’s free clinic. After meeting Dr. Amy and Lydia I knew working with them was going to help me. Dr. Lydia is truly an amazing physical therapist. She is incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. She challenged my way of thinking about working out and helped me engage muscles I didn’t know I needed to use. With their help I was able to stop my bladder leakage and strengthen my pelvic floor. Dr. Lydia put me to work and it paid off tenfold!
– C.C.
When I walked into Pelvic Prescription, I was literally crooked. My muscles were so tight and imbalanced that my hips were out of alignment and in so much pain with every little activity. This lasted about 2 whole months. I felt instant relief after my first appointment and I continued to see more and more improvement over the weeks, especially with the added bonus of the dry needling and cupping. I cannot thank Dr. Lydia enough for helping me this last couple of months! She’s amazing at checking in between appointments and helping me stay motivated to do my at-home exercises. I can say I am no longer crooked and my back and hip pain has greatly subsided!! I’m even slowly getting back into the gym!! Thank you sooooo much!!!!
– S.P.
Seeing Amy has been absolutely life changing! How no doctor ever told me about a pelvic floor PT in 30 years of life blows my mind but I am so glad I found Amy when I did. Her knowledge and techniques have helped me not only in intimacy but also in going to the bathroom with ease and not dreading it, breathing deeper and having better cardio because of it as well as showing me how to do upkeep at home. During in-person sessions, Amy was professional, respectful and kept banter lighthearted making sure I was always comfortable. Pelvic floor PTs are not just for postpartum women but for everyone. If you are on the fence, just book the session! You will not regret it!

I have ridden horses all my life and as a kid I fell off a lot onto my tailbone. As I got older I had a lot of pain with urination and penetration of any kind. I had issues with going to the bathroom as well. These persisted for years and I just kind of accepted that it was a normal but unfortunate part of my life. But then I realized that I might benefit from trying pelvic floor physical therapy. I started working with Amy on my issues and now after the program I barely experience any of them anymore. Even if I have a flare-up from stress I now have the tools to deal with it super efficiently and eradicate the pain. Pelvic Prescription was absolutely life changing, it has opened my eyes to how much my pain was not normal and that there were definitely ways to fix it. My pelvic floor is stronger and more elastic now and it has helped me in so many ways. I have also found that the tools she introduced me to helped me with my weightlifting and even improved my horseback riding as well! It was so refreshing to be in an environment where such a socially neglected part of the body was spoken about so openly and healing was the number one priority. Five stars all around!
– N.B.
Can’t recommend enough! I’ve had pelvic floor issues since an injury dating back to 6th grade, and for the first time in a long time, I don’t constantly feel pain and soreness. Everybody who works there is friendly and professional; I always felt like they genuinely cared and wanted to help in any way they could.
– F.M.
This place is great. Clean, professional, organized. After an umbilical hernia repair I was having all sorts of issues and random pains that Pelvic Prescription helped me overcome. I honestly think physical therapy should be a required recovery practice from any surgical procedure at this point; can’t speak highly enough about Nicole and the team here.

Dr. Amy has been an incredible support as I navigate post cesarean life. Prior to pelvic floor PT I was experiencing back and hip pain, wishing I could return to running and live an active life my toddler. Amy took the time and care to help me reconnect with my body, increase awareness, and strengthen muscles I had been neglecting. She has created such a warm, welcoming environment and I have always felt so cared for. As a mom, this has been the truest blessing! She tailors sessions to meet my needs and offers virtual appointments to assess movement in your daily life- kids welcome! I could not be more thankful for her support in finding renewed confidence in myself and pain free living.
– T.B.
After suffering with scar tissue complications from my C-section SIX YEARS AGO!!….. I finally have more relief than ever before. It used to be painful if my littlest would jump on me but after treatment with Dr. Amy and a bonus of the dry needling sessions, I had relief.
– A.W.
Dr. Lydia and the team at Pelvic Prescription are great and very professional. She was a huge help during my pregnancy and postpartum recovery. I feel confident to run again postpartum and I couldn’t have done it without her assistance.
11 weeks ago I walked into Pelvic Prescription in tears as a new mom who was 3 months postpartum and feeling completely hopeless. Dr. Lydia assessed me and assured me I was going to feel normal again. And 11 weeks later I absolutely feel back to myself prior to being pregnant. The team at PP provides an individualized plan and keeps it patient-centered.
– W.G.
Amy’s compassion is amazing. I cried at the beginning of the session, but she gave me HOPE for success by the end. I want to thank you for your understanding, kindness, patience, and expertise. She was awesome to work with!

Dr. Amy has been a wonderful resource for me throughout postpartum journey. During our sessions she has helped me tune into my body and address numerous pelvic floor issues. By committing to her daily exercise recommendations I have seen much improvement. Not only has she clearly explained and guided me through therapy, she’s also a warm, encouraging coach who keeps me motivated.
– BL
I began seeing Amy to better prepare myself for child birth and postpartum. She gave me various exercises throughout my whole pregnancy to strengthen my pelvic floor. I’m finally towards the end, and she helped me go over breathing exercises and birthing positions. Amy is very informative, supportive, personable, and professional. I cannot recommend Amy enough to anyone who is pregnant or just gave birth.

I didn’t know what to expect. Amy was great. She explained everything in detail. She was genuinely concerned with helping ease the pain and finding a solution. I didn’t feel rushed. I left feeling relieved because someone was patient enough to listen and treat my pain.

I have many names for what Dr. Amy has meant to me, she’s been a “game changer,” an Angel sent from above, an answered prayer, & more! Dr. Amy is extremely patient and understanding when it comes to learning what her patients need help with. She has done a great job at creating a safe space and healthy environment, especially surrounding personal topics. She takes time to educate clients and listen well, which sadly, was a new experience for me. I’ve not had very good experiences with doctors in the past regarding pelvic issues. Dr. Amy beats the stigma that women can’t receive help with pelvic issues. Personally, she’s helped me realize that physical healing can bring healing in many other areas of our lives. ❤️‍

Getting Started

How do I know if I need pelvic floor physical therapy?
How do I know if I need pelvic floor physical therapy?

You might need pelvic floor therapy if you’re dealing with any of these problems:

  • Urinary Issues: Like leaking pee, feeling a strong need to go often (more than 7 times a day), or trouble starting to pee.

  • Bowel Issues: Constipation, leaking poop, or having a hard time emptying your bowels.

  • Pelvic Pain: Pain in the lower belly, genitals, tailbone, or pubic area. This can include pain during sex, inserting tampons, or during gynecological exams.

  • Pregnancy and Postpartum: If you have pain, leaking, or pressure during pregnancy, or if you’re recovering after giving birth (especially if there was tearing).

  • Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Feeling heaviness or pressure in the vagina, which could mean organs are shifting or dropping.

  • Low Back or Hip Pain: Chronic pain in these areas might be linked to the pelvic floor.

  • Other Conditions: Endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, or recovering from surgeries like a hysterectomy or hernia repair.

Pelvic physical therapy helps to strengthen and relax the muscles in your pelvic area, which can ease these symptoms and help you get back to feeling like yourself again! If you’re not sure if this therapy is right for you, a consultation can help you decide.

Will pelvic floor therapy work for me?
Will pelvic floor therapy work for me?

Pelvic floor therapy can be very effective, but it works best for those who are committed to the process. The people who see the most success are the ones who show up for their appointments, follow the treatment plan their Doctor of Physical Therapy creates, and practice their exercises at home. It’s about taking small, consistent steps toward your goals.

If you’re ready to take charge of your health and stay active—even after therapy ends—pelvic floor therapy can absolutely work for you! We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Pelvic floor therapy might not be the right fit if you’re unable to commit to regular appointments or don’t have time to make changes at home. It’s also less effective for those who jump between different treatments or expect immediate results. Being inconsistent will slow down your progress. Success takes patience, consistency, and a willingness to follow the plan your Doctor of Physical Therapy creates for you.

If you’re ready to put in the effort, we’re here to help you achieve lasting results!

How do I set up an evaluation?
How do I set up an evaluation?

The first step is setting up a phone consultation with our Patient Care Coordinator. Set aside 15-20 minutes for your phone consultation. You may select a time here: https://link.srvcsndr.com/widget/bookings/pelvicprescriptionconsult 

During your phone consultation, please have your schedule handy so that you can reserve your evaluation appointment. We hold a couple of evaluation slots each week for new patients. Due to limited evaluation spots each week, we require a $75 non-refundable deposit to hold your spot. Don’t worry if you need to reschedule your appointment, you may do so and still apply your deposit to your rescheduled appointment time without losing it!

What can I expect at my first visit or evaluation?
What can I expect at my first visit or evaluation?

Your first visit will be with one of our Doctors of Physical Therapy. We’ll start by spending 10-15 minutes talking about your medical history, your current condition, and what goals you want to achieve. After that, your therapist will watch how you move and take a closer look at the area that’s bothering you to figure out what might be causing your symptoms at its root cause.

Based on what we find, we’ll put together a personalized plan and recommend the best course of treatment to help you get back to enjoying your life!

What should I wear?
What should I wear?

We recommend wearing athletic or comfortable clothes that allow you to move easily. Think of something you might wear to a yoga class or for a light workout!

How long is each visit?
How long is each visit?

Each visit is a full hour with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. You’ll always have one-on-one time with your therapist and will never be passed off to a tech, unlike at some insurance-based clinics.

Should I ask my doctor if I should do pelvic floor physical therapy?
Should I ask my doctor if I should do pelvic floor physical therapy?

You can ask your doctor, but keep in mind that many doctors aren’t specialized in pelvic floor conditions. To get the most accurate information, it’s often more helpful to speak directly with a Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in pelvic health. We can provide a thorough evaluation and discuss the best options for your specific situation.

Do I need a referral to see a pelvic floor physical therapist?
Do I need a referral to see a pelvic floor physical therapist?

No, you do not need a referral to see a pelvic floor physical therapist in North Carolina, as it is a direct access state, meaning that you do not need a referral. However, some insurance plans might require a referral for coverage or reimbursement from a superbill, so it’s a good idea to check with your healthcare plan if you plan on submitting to your insurance on your own.
