services || in-Home & virtual
Empower offers a variety of treatment options across all pelvis and age spectrums. We specialize in prenatal, pregnancy, and postpartum pain management as well as chronic pain management from neck to tailbone. We also understand how busy life can get, and not everyone has the time or resources to regularly make it into a clinic and consistently perform a comprehensive home program. We offer concierge pelvic floor therapy services right in your home for your convenience, along with a full discussion on realistic expectations for you and craft a plan of care accordingly.
We bring pelvic floor PT equipment directly to your home, enhancing your comfort and convenience. This also enables us to evaluate your home environment and daily activities, leading to a more precise assessment and correction of your biomechanics.
We are currently serving the Diablo and Walnut Creek areas of the East Bay in Northern California — including San Ramon, Danville, Alamo, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, and a few others!
