Neuropelvic Therapy Program

Neuro-Pelvic Floor Therapy

Living with a neurological disorder and managing daily life activities is hard. At Pelvic Pride we are here to help make it easier to navigate the functions around your bowel, bladder, and sexual intimacy.

Neurologic Conditions & The Pelvic Floor

An injury or insult to the nervous system - whether to the brain, spinal cord, and/or peripheral nerves - can play a significant role in bowel or bladder health, and sexual function. Just like you may have or continue to experience, strength, sensation, and coordination changes to the rest of the body, the pelvic floor muscles can also be weak, tight, stiff, or uncoordinated due to an injury to the nervous system.


Common neurologic diagnoses we work with include:

  • Traumatic and nontraumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Stroke (CVA)
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • Parkinson’s disease (PD)
  • Spinal cord injury (SCI)
  • Cerebral palsy (CP)
  • Spina bifida


Dr. Marlena also works with individuals navigating other neurologic conditions, including post-concussion syndrome, tethered cord, transverse myelitis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), to name a few.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Dr. Marlena is AMAZING! She truly helped me get back on track with my physical health, which aided my mental health, too. I highly recommend her and this organization for anyone dealing with neurological issues, as well as anything else related to pelvic floor strengthening. They truly work with you to help you meet your healing journey goals.

Dr. Joy was a wealth of information regarding pelvic floor health... I appreciated her very caring & thorough assessment to approach my unique situation. Even one of the exams which can be invasive ( your choice) felt safe and clearly understood with her. She is such an amazing PT.
