Dry Needling for Pelvic Health

now safely offered during pregnancy after the first trimester

Dry needling is a technique used to release muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce pain. In pelvic health physical therapy, it’s especially effective for treating deep muscle tightness, trigger points, and persistent pain in the hips, low back, and pelvic floor. Dr. Katie has completed advanced certification in dry needling for pelvic health (including pregnancy and postpartum care) and can safely incorporate this into your treatment plan to help you move more freely and feel your best. Schedule a free 15-minute discovery call to learn more, or book an appointment with Dr. Katie here.

  • "Hi Dr. Alex! You changed my life. I thought I might never be able to have sex again, but your work made it comfortable and fun again. Now having the best sex of my life at 58! I can't thank you enough! You gave me my life back. My experience with your work turning my life around inspired me to begin writing a book about aging and menopause. I also have a podcast and social media: The Thing About Aging. My mission is to change how our culture views aging and help with the challenges of aging. Your future patients are as blessed as I have been for having been the beneficiary of your work."

  • “I had an excellent experience with the pelvic therapy I received from Dr. Christine. I’ve had consistent horrible coccyx pain for over a year, and was hopeless after going to other Physical Therapy rehabs. After working with Christine, my pain is gone, and I’m able to sit, move, and go about my day without constantly thinking about discomfort. From the very first session, Christine was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my recovery. She always made me feel very comfortable. I’m truly grateful for the exceptional care and would highly recommend Christine to anyone in need of pelvic physical therapy.”

  • “I was pregnant with my second and suffering from pretty debilitating SPD pain. I wasn't even in my third trimester, and already walking was becoming almost unbearable. Normally, I would try to power through these things, but I knew with a toddler at home, getting to the point of being nearly immobile wasn't an option. Nervous to try PT, I met Dr. Christine and immediately felt so at ease. After the first appointment, she gave me so many tips and pointers that I felt like I was already making progress after 10 minutes. Without sounding melodramatic, I really can't thank her enough for giving me my life back. I look forward to resuming appointments now that I'm postpartum, too!”

  • “I have been both a patient and a referrer to BPPT. I adore Alex and her team - they are truly experts in their field, and I feel so comfortable with them. I would HIGHLY recommend this group. And check out their new location - it’s beautiful!” - Skylar

  • "I am very happy with the results of my physical therapy, and I felt extremely supported and comfortable here. I started coming here about two months postpartum after a c section to see Dr. Katie, and I'm so happy that I did. The office also provided very thorough receipts which made submitting claims to my insurance very easy. I would definitely recommend this to any postpartum moms." - Elizabeth

  • "If I could give Boston Pelvic PT more than 5 stars I would! I started with BPPT when I was 6 weeks postpartum, after suffering some very unpleasant pelvic floor issues during the end of my pregnancy. Over the course of 4 months, Christine and I worked to nearly eliminate the troublesome symptoms that I had experienced when I started. Christine taught me how to be more aware of how my entire body worked together, not just the pelvic floor, and through this awareness I found myself moving and strengthening my whole body more effectively and efficiently than ever before. I would recommend BPPT to anyone who is looking for expert, kind, and compassionate pelvic floor care!" - Alison

  • "“I want to share my positive experience at this center. I was fortunate to be guided by Dr. Christine, and from our very first session, I felt comfortable, supported, and, most importantly, safe. After my pregnancy, I was dealing with pelvic floor muscle spasms. It’s hard to explain how challenging this condition can be — even simple things like using the bathroom felt impossible because the muscles were so tense. These are internal muscles, and learning to relax them again isn’t something you can do without guidance. Christine’s encouragement from the start — “Don’t give up” — really stayed with me. With her help, I learned to listen to my body again. My recovery included targeted massage, scar massage after my C-section, and a set of relaxation exercises combined with breathing techniques. She also reminded me to drink plenty of water — simple, but it made a real difference in regaining control. Even after a few sessions, I sometimes doubted myself, but Christine reassured me that progress, even small, is a sign of things to come. By the time I left each session, I felt confident that I could continue my recovery at home. Practicing the exercises daily and reviewing them together during sessions gave me a strong foundation to manage my symptoms whenever needed. I’m deeply grateful to Christine and the center for their care, warmth, and dedication. The sessions were not only healing but also felt like a relaxing ritual — a moment of calm and self-care. I would happily continue visiting, even though I feel much better, because I truly trust the specialists here. Highly recommended!” - Vohla
