Male Patients

“This is a fantastic business. The team, from reception all the way to the therapists, are first class--courteous, compassionate, and highly skilled at what they do. A big shout out to Dr. Christina Yu, PT, DPT, who fearlessly goes forth to find the root of the issue, and teams with you to develop an action plan in the clinic in addition to manageable exercises you can do at home or in the office. Lastly, for male patients who might be uncomfortable in addressing anything pelvic-related: This is a safe and discreet place. My advice is, "Trust the process." Therapy, in any form, is rarely an overnight win. I took a risk in going forth, and it has truly benefited me. Thank you, Team Sarton. The work you do is life-changing.”

“If you have pelvic issues female or male, this is the place to receive healing. The moment I walked into Sarton Physical Therapy, many of my fears went away. Others doctors outside of Sarton Physical Therapy wrote me off by telling me not to stress. However, they stop treating me. My pain would get the best of me. After meeting Dr. Sarton and her team of experts, my spirits were up and hope for healing came into the picture. As of now, my tailbone pain, and genital pain is gone. I currently am able to use the restroom the normal amount of time with ease, and am pain free when I do so. I was always in a safe and comfortable environment with Sarton Physical Therapy. The front desk is caring and friendly as well. The Sarton Physical Therapy Team taught me about my anatomy in ways I can understand.I became aware of my pelvic floor and eventually was able to relax it. They showed me exercises and other holistic approaches that guided me through my healing. Not once did they give up on me.Step by Step they got to the bottom cause of my pain by assessing my whole body and lifestyle (food, posture, history). I'm feeling better thanks to Dr. Julie Sarton and her wonderful team of pelvic experts. I am forever grateful.”

“The staff here does an excellent job in treatments specific to you. They listen to you and provide a healing environment. They gave me my life back from chronic pain. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Ask for Dr. Niki! She rocks!”

“ROUGHLY FOUR YEARS AGO WHILE ON A BUSINESS TRIP, I FOUND MYSELF FACED WITH A TERRIBLE CASE OF URINARY FREQUENCY (had the urge to go every 20 minutes). That led to groin and pelvic pains, and a general ill feeling. I made it home to my family doctor, who checked for a urinary infection. Although that test was negative, he prescribed an antibiotic saying it was likely prostatitis. After a couple of weeks, the symptoms subsided. Over the next year, I had a couple more attacks. Each met with the same negative urinary infection test, prostate examines and antibiotic prescription. My family doctor finally sent me to a urologist, who also said I had prostatitis and likewise prescribed antibiotics. Another two years passed by and my urinary urge and pelvic pains got worse. My urologist put me on long term antibiotics. By then I had gone through five different antibiotics and a run of no less than nine straight months on antibiotics. After my own research I was concluding that I had a pelvic muscle problem - which in turn led to the pains and urinary urgency. I went to another urologist for a second opinion and he told me to immediately stop the antibiotics. He said my conclusion was right, but had no recommendation for treatment other than anti-inflammatory drugs like Motrin and possibly finding a pelvic pain therapist - but he cautioned that most in this area only treat women. After continued problems and searching, I finally found Dr. Julie Sarton. After my first meeting with Julie, I was hopeful as she seemed to understand what I have been through and the cause of my problems. Julie's first treatment showed me my pelvic muscles were a real mess - very tense and tender. I was amazed at how treating the pelvic muscles would replicate the urinary urge and pains. After a few treatments I observed clear improvement. Now I am nearing two years later and I have been very successful in that I have been able to control and nearly eliminate my symptoms. Moreover, I have been antibiotic free since starting my treatments with Julie. It took me a long time to find Julie but I am thankful I did. She has saved me from a very frustrating condition. Better living through chemistry is not the solution to this very common problem for men. I want to help other men learn that there is a better solution than antibiotics and their root cause is something much different than the common diagnosis of a prostate problem. For me, my pelvic pain is caused by too much time on the freeway coupled with days full of siting in meetings and too much stress. The physical therapy treatment and advise that Julie provides is the answer for me - and it is the answer for many men suffering from this condition. I have learned to appreciate the complexity of the pelvic muscle structure. I am living much better than I had been and I hope the family physician and urologist community learn to understand the real causes for many of these cases.”
