“I was truly blown away by the care and expertise of this team. I believe they are the best in North America working on this issue. If you need local or out of town support then I highly recommend the Sarton team. Because PN issues are rare and because there are multiple paths (etiologies) that can lead to the same symptoms, it is important to have a proper physio assessment as part of your care approach. The team at Sarton can tell you if your symptoms will benefit from soft tissue therapies or not, and when you may need to look at other PN approaches. They knowledge of PN extends beyond PT so that they can help identify which path to healing may be most helpful to you.”

“I have seen several of the Pelvic PTs on her team and they have all been amazing and extremely helpful, and each took the time to read up on my medical case before seeing me. They make you feel welcome, comfortable, and safe and work hard to ensure their patients are informed about their health. I truly cannot say enough great things about this clinic!! They have helped me so much. Pelvic therapy at Sarton PT has become such an important part of my healthcare team.

“Julie has become an expert in the field of pelvic floor rehabilitation and has an amazing positive and proven track record with many patients. She has organized an incredibly skilled team and is versed in all the areas necessary to heal. Muscle Skeleton, nutrition, PT, rubs, massage, Guided Imagery, they have it all under one roof... and all of it plays a crucial role in healing. She has figured out and cured many very difficult injuries... including mine.”

“Julie has truly put together an amazing team of people. I have never felt so cared for. It is very apparent that patient’s health and well-being is their first priority!”

Sarton Physical Therapy is by far the best pelvic physical therapy practice I have ever been to. When I first started,, I came in with a lot of pain and feeling very frustrated. I had been attending another pelvic physical therapy practice for 6 months and nothing had gotten better. However, as soon as I came to Sarton and met with Alexa, I immediately knew how educated she and the practice were in dealing with pelvic floor issues, which unfortunately I’ve found not as many practitioners truly understand. Alexa quickly realized how to treat me without causing a flare up, which was incredible to me given my previous experiences. This allowed me to heal and allowed my brain and therefore my body to relax. I’ve also been seeing Megan, who does visceral work on my stomach that has significantly helped my digestion! Her work has been so helpful and significant to my every day life, and I’m so grateful. I highly recommend this team to anyone!
