What Others Are Saying
"I wish I could give ten stars, pelvic floor physical therapy has has been nothing short of life-changing for me! I started seeing Dr. Bria for some c-section scar pain, and in just a few weeks the pain is entirely gone."
"The help that I received from Dr. Jesse saved my life. I have not only learned so much about how my pelvic floor SHOULD be feeling and functioning, but Dr. Jesse has been so gentle, patient, considerate, and informative throughout this entire process. The attitude that Dr. Jesse has towards her profession and the attitude of the staff have made me feel so welcome and heard. So, so grateful for Taylor Physical Therapy & Wellness, and Dr. Jesse."
"I had felt dismissed by my primary care and urology practices during short flare up times. Adding pelvic floor therapy along with diet changes to my treatment plan helped me feel back to my normal within a few sessions. Dr. Katie and her team made me feel comfortable at every session, and I loved her focus on stress management and mental health in addition to physical symptoms. The peaceful environment of the practice made me feel very calm during each session. I'm so thankful I found this practice!"

What We Believe
At Taylor Physical Therapy and Wellness we believe that every patient deserves high-quality individualized care. Many women believe there is no practitioner out there who knows how to treat their symptoms or are told that it’s normal to have pain or swelling following pregnancy or cancer. We know that not only are effective treatments available but believe we offer the best care around through one-on-one sessions.
We feel it is important to listen to the needs of each patient and work with them to meet their goals. From day one, we empower our patients with the tools and understanding to resolve their condition and return to the activities they love.
We are dedicated to serving our patients and helping them move better and feel better. Our therapists will spend as much time as it takes to understand your needs and provide exceptional service.
"I am finally waking up pain free and slowly easing my way back to working out. I appreciate her vast wealth of knowledge and the holistic approach she takes to pain."
What to Expect
Clinic Atmosphere
Our patients are welcomed by a friendly staff member and offered water and snacks before their appointment. Treatment sessions are in private, spacious, quiet, and calming treatment rooms that includes a warmed table and spa music. Patients will never see a busy gym-style environment happening right outside of their treatment rooms.
Treatment that Fits your Lifestyle
We offer on-time and family-friendly appointments (virtual or in-person) including early morning and late afternoon times. Our clinic has a designated mother-baby room for mothers who need to change or feed their infants and our treatment rooms are spacious enough to bring family members, spouses, or friends.
More Than Kegels
Our patients will have an hour of one-on-one time with their doctorate-level providers that will not include biofeedback or simply a list of exercises. We believe in catering your care to your specific needs and lifestyle. Each visit will follow an individualized action plan focused on meeting your goals.
Whole Person Approach
We use a holistic and whole-body approach to treatment which includes a head-to-toe assessment. This allows us to discover the root cause of symptoms. Many pelvic floor issues arise outside of the pelvis, therefore we always look at nutrition, nervous system, sleep hygiene, and movement patterns to truly get the whole picture.
"Can’t recommend these amazing ladies enough! From the front staff to the doctors, to the overall environment, they all make you feel welcome and relaxed. I was having many issues after the birth of my first baby and they were so helpful in addressing all my concerns and my pelvic floor is stronger than ever with amazing results. My only regret is not going sooner!"
