pelvic floor workshop with restore physical therapy

pelvic floor workshop with restore physical therapy

Hi! I am Dr. Victoria Clement, owner of Restore Physical Therapy and Pelvic Health in Manayunk. I started my business in 2021 after I was diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction after years of "mystery symptoms" that no physician could figure out. I was hooked on the idea that I could help people solve their own "mysteries". I also feel in love with the concept of helping patients have less (or no) pain during pregnancy, feel more prepared for birth, and recover quicker postpartum. Fast forward, I got my doula certification to better understand what happens in the delivery room and the mechanics of birth! I love what I do and educating others on how important pelvic health is.

I am looking forward to meeting each of you and helping educate you on how important it is to get to the bottom of your pelvic floor needs.
