PASADENA, Calif. (PRWEB)
December 12, 2021

“Since we opened in West LA in 2014, we have been honored to help patients from all over the greater LA area. But driving over an hour to get to and from appointments can be problematic for those with pelvic health concerns. Our new Pasadena location will better serve the needs of our patients coming from East LA.” said Stephanie Prendergast, MPT, Cofounder at PHRC Los Angeles.

Jillian Giannini, PT, DPT will lead the Pasadena location. Jillian received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from California State University, Northridge, along with becoming both yoga and Pilates certified. In 2020-2021 Jillian underwent The Resilience Toolkit Certification Program to become a Certified Facilitator of The Resilience Toolkit. This encompasses techniques to help educate patients to build awareness of stress cycles and management tools. In addition, Jillian recently underwent an advanced 12-week course on pelvic floor physical therapy for pregnant and postpartum patients.

With her pelvic floor physical therapy, peripartum physical therapy, and Yoga, Pilates, and Resilience Toolkit certification, Jillian provides comprehensive care for all persons wanting to optimize their pelvic health and eradicate pain and dysfunction.

The physical therapists at the Pasadena location will be able to help patients with:

• Pelvic Pain Syndromes (vulvodynia, vestibulodynia, vaginismus, interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, hard-flaccid syndrome, and pudendal neuralgia)
• Pregnancy preparation, birth preparation, postpartum rehabilitation
• Surgical Preparation and Rehabilitation (pelvic floor reconstruction/pelvic organ prolapse repairs, hysterectomy, prostatectomy, gender-confirming surgeries/revisions, cesarean section, and total hip replacement)
• Pelvic Organ Prolapse

• Sexual Function Concerns (painful sex, diminished or absent orgasm, post-ejaculatory pain, erectile dysfunction, altered sensations)
• Transgender health services and surgical preparation and rehabilitation

Yoga and Pilates will also be available to help patients address a variety of pelvic health concerns.
