We hold space for the self-healing body by moving through presence, curiosity, and compassion.
Transforming pelvic health physical therapy
Bodyful Physical Therapy and Wellness is a somatic pelvic health and persistent pain focused practice for all body identities. We use comprehensive treatment plans to promote improved pelvic and orthopedic functions and to help unleash pleasurable movement patterns and embodied joy. We are sensitive to stories of pain and trauma, and we aim to facilitate reintegration of the body, mind, and spirit for continued self-empowerment and social engagement.
A somatic approach
As somatic physical therapists, we start with non-judgmental compassionate inquiry to understand your story. A somatic approach uses anatomy, physiology, and comprehensive pain science to guide your understanding of your symptoms and to gain a confident, felt sense of your diagnosis and plan of care. Modern science literature shows that the nervous system states influence your physiology and pain experiences. Somatics engages with the nervous system first to allow for sustainable changes and agency in your healing process.

We are a private pay practice.
The services we provide are covered by your out-of-network physical therapy benefits. In other words, we do not contract with any insurance company and we do not bill your insurance. We take payment at time of service and are happy to provide you with a superbill upon your request. You can submit this to your insurance for reimbursement. Sometimes your out-of-network reimbursements are higher than your high deductible in-network reimbursements. We do accept HSA and FSA.
We are not in network with Medicare or Medi-Cal and we are not permitted to service Medicare or Medi-Cal beneficiaries for skilled PT. Please ask us about our wellness offerings if you are a Medicare/Medi-cal beneficiary and still want to work with us.
