A Message From Jocelyn Besa White, PT, DPT, CLT, Founder Of Direct Physical Therapy
Are you:
- Tired of urine leakage (incontinence) with running, jumping or even just daily life?
- Worried about postpartum back, hip or pelvic pain that doesn’t go away no matter what you do?
- Feeling self-conscious, frustrated, or discouraged since the birth of your baby, thinking you’ll never be able to get your body back to where it was?
- Finding sex painful or uncomfortable?
- Having trouble keeping up with your kids and feel you’re missing out on life?
- Lacking confidence because you know your core just isn’t working properly, you have a Diastasis Recti or you still feel like you look pregnant, even though you’re not?
- Frustrated that other approaches haven’t worked (even if it was another PT) or confused about what to try?
- Are you looking for a long-term and natural solution that will get rid of these problems for good (without medications or surgery)?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you are in the right place!
Many women in Orange City, Sanford, or Debary, FL suffer unnecessarily because they’re told…
- Your doctor says “Don’t do anything but rest for 6 weeks then go ahead and get back to your normal activity”… but weeks and months and years go by and you’re still struggling…
- “Just do some YouTube workout videos and you’ll get back in shape in no time” but then those workouts cause pain and leakage and you feel awful afterwards and so discouraged
- It’s “normal” to have pain or abdominal separation after giving birth and “everyone leaks” or has bladder control issues as they age
- If you take some pain killers everything will be fine
- Medicine, surgeries or “just dealing with it” are the only options
The Truth Is...
- Resting it doesn’t change anything. You might get a small temporary relief, but then when you get active again, you’ll still be suffering from pelvic pain, leakage and other postpartum symptoms (I bet you’ve already experienced it!).
- While it’s very common, It’s NOT NORMAL to have lasting pain or urine leakage after pregnancy… or even with age.
- Pain pills are addicting, dangerous, and can cause a lot of other problems with your body.
- Medicine, surgery or injections are not the only option. They’re just the only options your doctor can offer you.
At Direct Physical Therapy We Specialize In Helping Men And Women Who Are experiencing chronic pain and long-term conditions by providing compassionate, one on one, and expert care so they can overcome their symptoms, regain control of their life, and get back to the things they love to do.
When It Comes To Solving Postpartum Pain and Leakage Problems and Ensuring a COMPLETE Postpartum Recovery...
You must choose the right provider for your health. If you don’t, you could end up getting surgery (when it could have been avoided), being dependent upon medications or painkillers… or living with steadily worsening symptoms the rest of your life.
Getting the “least-invasive”, most natural treatment is VITAL to you stopping your leakage, abdominal separation issues, pelvic floor problems or postpartum hip/back/pelvic pain and keeping it from ever coming back.
Working with a provider who understands that the entire body works together is vital to your recovery. Our bodies go through incredible changes during pregnancy and postpartum periods. We must address the changes in the neck/back/diaphragm/core/pelvic floor/pelvis, posture, strength and how we’re using our bodies to fully recover. It’s much, much more than just Kegels!
To ensure a full recovery, we have to not just treat the symptoms. You must have an expert provider who is willing to get to the ROOT CAUSE of your symptoms and dysfunction. That’s when you’ll get a PERMANENT solution to your postpartum problems.
At Direct Physical Therapy we’ve created a 3 step process to get rid of your postpartum symptoms AND make sure you don’t have to deal with them ever again.
Step #1 - We Want To Listen To Your Story
Our medical system is frustrating. You wait weeks, sometimes months, for an appointment, only to get to talk to the doctors for 10 minutes before they have to run to the next patient and you’re left sitting there wondering, “What just happened?”
Even most physical therapy clinics operate this way. They’re not attentive, they’re fast-paced, and your therapist doesn’t have time to learn what goals are important to you, or to work with you one-on-one. That’s why we operate so differently!
And that’s why our first step is to listen to your story.
After successfully working with many women with postpartum issues, we know that no two people are alike. Each person has a different body, a different history, and different types of pain and symptoms.
That is why our first step is to have an open conversation and time for you to tell your story. That way we get a deep understanding of what’s going on not just with your body, but also how it’s impacting your life.
Step #2 - FIND OUT WHY YOUR SYMPTOMS STARTED
Many people have a diagnosis, or medical term for what’s going on with their body. Maybe their doctor gave it to them, maybe tests showed the diagnosis, or maybe you found it online.
Perhaps you’ve been given the label of Prolapse, Diastasis Recti, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, Incontinence, Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Pain or Hip/Back/Pelvic Pain.
You could have been told that your only choice was to rest, take medicine, or give it time.
Sometimes, those things bring temporary relief, but they’re not addressing what CAUSED the problem in the first place.
Every person’s cause of pain or symptoms is different. No one has the exact same problem caused by the exact same thing as another person.
Our goal at Direct Physical Therapy is to find that original cause of your problem, so not only does your pain go away, it STAYS AWAY!
We understand that you still might be skeptical or unsure if physical therapy is right for you. That’s why we created a Free 15 Minute Consultation. (Yes! That means it’s ON US!)
Our Free 15 Minute Consultations are meant specifically for those people who are skeptical, unsure, or have even been let down in the past. During the Free 15 Minute Consultation you’ll find out what’s wrong, how long it’s going to take to fix it, and give you peace of mind that your problem can be fixed naturally!
Step #3 - GET RID OF THE PROBLEM & KEEP IT FROM COMING BACK
This is when the big transformation occurs. We develop a personalized plan that allows you to…
…get back to exercising (yes, even running and jumping!) without fear of pain, stiffness or bladder control issues coming back.
…be able to play with your kids, lift, and carry them with no problems.
…return to intimacy with your spouse without fear of pain.
…get back to your active lifestyle you love (yoga, running, tennis – whatever you love to do!).
…feel strong, confident and even sexy again as your body heals from that Diastasis Recti/Abdominal Separation and recovers its core strength fully.
Our best clients are those who are motivated and ready to win back their active life. (Even if they feel stuck right now!)
Want to know more about our availability and costs before making any commitment to coming in?
You don’t have to sacrifice the activities & family lifestyle you love over problems that can be fixed.
Sincerely,
Jocelyn Besa White, PT, DPT, CLT
