Pelvic Health Resources
Patient Resources
At Lotus Pelvic Health & Wellness, we believe healing works best as a team effort. Pelvic health is deeply connected to the rest of the body — and sometimes the best care comes from bringing in other trusted providers alongside your physical therapy.
Below you'll find a curated list of local practitioners and businesses we know, trust, and personally recommend. Each one has been vetted by our team to help round out your care, whatever stage of your journey you're in.
Have a provider you love that should be on this list? Let us know.
