We offer a variety of treatments to address pelvic health concerns (incontinence, pelvic pain, etc); pregnancy + postpartum rehab; and treatments tailored to address orthopedic concerns (joint pain, neck pain, low back pain, pain secondary to injury, etc.)

Unfortunately most insurances do not pay for maintenance or general wellbeing visits. That being said, treatments are often limited on what we can provide due to insurance determining what they will and will not cover. 

You do not need a referral in Iowa! Woo Hoo!

Initial evaluations last approximately 1 hour and all other follow-ups are 45-minutes.

I'm sure you've heard "it takes a village" for when baby gets here, but mama, you deserve a village prior to that too. By traveling through your pregnancy together, we can address any aches/pains that come along, build a birth team and plan that helps you go into birth feeling empowered, and prepare you to meet babe as well as prepare for your 4th trimester.

It takes roughly 9-months to grow a baby, and women have roughly 15 prenatal visits prior to baby's arrival. After baby arrives, women have ONE postpartum visit. I repeat ONE. Whether baby is delivered vaginally or via cesarean, this is your first baby or your fourth, together we can travel through 4th trimester by addressing any concerns, working towards your specific goals, and stepping into motherhood together.

For example, lets say you have really tight shoulders. Often times, you can feel a little "ball" in those muscles called a muscle knot. As a physical therapist, I can take a little needle and tap that needle into those muscle knots to release them and reduce the tension present. 

When you visit Strength & Stillness Physical Therapy & Wellness, I hope you feel a sense of calmness and like you are going to visit a friend. During your 1:1 session, we will discuss any current concerns and then tailor our interventions for the day to address those concerns. This may include but is not limited to soft tissue massage, dry needling, therapeutic exercise, postural re-education, and self-management education.
