Pelvic health physical therapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy that evaluates and treats the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue of the pelvic floor. These muscles support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs, and play a key role in core stability, posture, and overall movement. When they’re too weak, too tight, or not coordinating properly, it can lead to pain, leakage, prolapse symptoms, or a core that just doesn’t feel “back to normal” — after childbirth, surgery, injury, or with no obvious cause at all.
Using a combination of internal and external manual therapy techniques (always with your comfort and consent guiding the pace), targeted exercise, breathing and pressure-management strategies, and day-to-day lifestyle coaching, Emma will build a plan of care specific to your body and your goals — not a generic protocol.

Direct Access Note
Maryland is a Direct Access state, which means you don’t need a doctor’s referral to start physical therapy — including pelvic health physical therapy. You can call and schedule your first evaluation directly.
“When I first came to Arpella, my shoulder injuries made even simple tasks difficult. An orthopedic surgeon had recommended immediate surgery. Thanks to Logan, Maddie and Samantha’s guidance, my range of motion has improved dramatically, my pain is minimal, and surgery wasn’t necessary.”
— Arpella Patient, Arnold, MD
Emma earned her Bachelor of Science degree at Drake University before completing her Doctor of Physical Therapy at Florida Gulf Coast University, where she began specializing in pelvic floor physical therapy seeking out additional experience and advanced training in the field throughout her graduate program.
Since graduating, Emma has focused her practice on treating pelvic floor dysfunction in both female-bodied and male-bodied patients, alongside vestibular disorders and general orthopedic conditions. That range gives her a broad, whole-body lens: pelvic health rarely exists in isolation, and Emma looks at how the pelvic floor connects to the hips, core, spine, and the rest of the body’s movement system.
Emma’s approach starts with a simple commitment: find the actual cause of your symptoms, not just the closest-fitting protocol. Every plan of care she builds is specific to the body and the story in front of her, so treatment addresses what’s really driving your pain or dysfunction, not a generic checklist.
Emma is now accepting new patients at Arpella Physical Therapy and Performance Arnold, MD location, beginning October 2026.

No. Maryland is a Direct Access state, which means you can begin pre and post surgical rehabilitation physical therapy at Arpella without a physician referral.

That said, if your surgeon has given you post-op protocols, bring them along — we work collaboratively with your medical team.
