My First Visit

“After the very first session of receiving holistic patient education and top quality pelvic floor PT, my mind and body began to change for the better. My life has only been on the upswing since then, and every week (now every other week because I’m doing so well) that I go in, I feel stronger, more flexible and simply put, more able to live the life I was meant to live.”

“I have sat down to write this letter many a time but how does one thank a clinic and therapists that literally saved your life? On April 24, 2012, my husband and I walked in to Sarton Physical Therapy broken. I was broken physically, but my pelvic floor dysfunction had broken our spirit. I had gone a year untreated and misdiagnosed by doctors, chiropractors, and therapists. I distinctly remember walking into the clinic, standing during the consultation and pacing the room as we discussed what I was going through. It was the first time I was really heard, felt understood, and diagnosed.”

“I was expecting the facility to be cold, uninviting and clinical like the many doctor offices I had been in over the last two years, but it was welcoming, comfortable and I kid you not, spa like.”

“If you suffer from pelvic pain, you know how difficult everyday life can be, and how difficult it is to find someone who truly understands what you are going through. It took me a long time before I found Julie, but it was my first appointment with her that truly marked the turning point in my healing. It has been a long road, as pelvic floor dysfunction does not have a quick fix, but Julie has been there every step of the way. Not only is she an amazing physical therapist, helping bring significant healing to my body, she is also a great listener and able to help her patients through all of problems pelvic dysfunction carries with it. I first came to Julie at the end of my road, thinking this was the last thing I could try before giving up all hope for a normal life. Now I am taking the final steps to complete healing and I am filled with hope and excitement for this new life that I am just learning to enjoy! I can never thank Julie enough for what she has done for me.”

“I have struggled with chronic pelvic pain for just over 3 years. When my doctor first recommended pelvic physical therapy, the first thought I had was, "they're going to do what to me?" I avoided the idea of pelvic physical therapy for an entire year due to my fears. If my doctor had only explained to me what I would get with Julie, I would have made an appointment that very same day. Sarton PT is THE BEST in Southern California and I promise you it would be a HUGE mistake to go anywhere else. I have been working with Julie and her other therapists for 2 years. I could have never imagined 3 years ago that I would look forward to my PT sessions every week, but I do!

Before calling Sarton Physical therapy to make my very first appointment, I did quite a bit of research on other PT facilities. What sets SPT apart from ANYONE else is:

• They are extremely educated and informed on all areas that has to do with the pelvis.
• Julie has a variety of highly skilled therapists that are all trained under Julie's technique, but each one has their own unique strength. The amazing thing about this is, given how complicated pelvic pain can be, this allows for her team to work on you and collaborate on how to solve your pelvic pain puzzle.
  • Julie has an insane amount of experience and is incredibly knowledgeable.
  • They will NOT give up on you. I have been to doctor after doctor and when I have been turned away from them, they left me feeling like I have hit the wall. Julie opens another door with another path of possibilities.
• They are open minded and understand that pelvic pain isn't due to one disease. It is usually holistic and multifaceted.
• Julie has educated me to the point where I feel I drive all of my doctors visits, and at times know more than my provider knows about my disorder.

In Julie I have found my Physical Therapist who helps relieve my pain, my psychologist, my cheerleader, my educator, ears that listen, a shoulder to cry on, a friend and family. Julie actually came with me to one of my doctor’s appointments. I mean, common, what physical therapist does that? !?

At Sarton Physical Therapy, they are not out to get your money or get you in then out the door. They genuinely care. You can tell they are all so passionate about what they do, and those are the kind of people you want on your team!

Do yourself a favor, go to Sarton PT. They are worth every penny!
