Body Works was just what I was looking for! Samantha at the front office was welcoming and always helpful when explaining insurance/payment questions. Dr. Yvonne and Dr. Lydia were friendly, professional, compassionate and knowledgeable about how to help solve pelvic floor issues and how to strengthen my core and back safely during and after pregnancy. They provided real time ultrasound to view abdominal muscles, guided exercises and education to take home. Now I just had my 4th baby and have all the tools I need for this to be my best recovery yet. Excited about returning to walking, running, hiking and playing with kids without pain. If only I had been to see them sooner! Highly recommend if you are considering pelvic floor PT during pregnancy and after delivery. It’s an investment for years to come!

I had a phenomenal experience working with Elizabeth at Body Works! With my first pregnancy, I learned how important pelvic floor health was so when I learned I was pregnant with my 2nd child, I called Body Works. They had a wonderful Birth Ready Plan that helped me prepare for labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery. They’re very thorough and give you a detailed plan with exercises at each visit. Elizabeth is a great listener! It’s obvious that she cares about her patients. When I had a horrible episode with muscle spasms during my 3rd trimester that put me out of work due to the pain, Elizabeth was there for me and made accommodations to see me quickly for emergency appointments to try to help me get out of pain. I recommend them to all my family and friends! They can and will change your life ❤️
