Since graduating with a doctorate in physical therapy from Ithaca College in 2017, Alex has treated pelvic floor dysfunction and general orthopedic conditions. Apart from pelvic floor dysfunction, she specializes in manual therapy, lower back pain and hip pain. Alex enjoys connecting with her patients, incorporating an eclectic approach to her treatment sessions to improve pelvic floor function and alleviate pain.
It is estimated that 20% of women experience pelvic pain at some point in their lives. Numerous studies have shown that the musculoskeletal system is often a primary or secondary cause of pelvic pain in women; therefore, physical therapy plays a major role in the diagnosis and treatment of female pelvic pain.
An estimated 8% to 10% of all men will suffer from pelvic pain at some point in their lives, according to statistics. Frustratingly, many medical organizations, still refer to pelvic pain as a "women's health issue.". Equally frustrating is that not all pelvic floor physical therapists are trained to evaluate and treat a male patient with pelvic pain.
Ask you questions about your bowel, bladder and sexual function as the pelvic musculature involves all three functions. Assess your pelvic floor muscles. This can be performed vaginally or rectally. This is not a pelvic exam (no stirrups or speculum is utilized); it is an assessment of the pelvic musculature.
Relaxation training of the pelvic floor musculature. Treatment of trigger points, connective tissue mobilization, lower extremity flexibility exercises, core/abdominal strengthening. Core/abdominal strengthening, spinal mobilization, body mechanics training, postural re-education, lower extremity flexibility exercises, myofascial release, and trigger point release.

I have been going to Core Therapy since 2007. I just love them. I won't go anywhere else as long as they are open for business. I refer every one I know to them. Cathy and the staff are the best I have ever had, and
I have been doing PT since I was a senior in high school. They are super friendly and very professional. Cathy is always taking classes to increase her skills and knowledge of current practices. I would highly recommend them for any type of therapy not just pelvic therapy.

I am a former patient of Core Therapy! I was very pleased with the professionalism of the physical therapist there and the care I received! I suffered from pelvic pain for many years before my urologist suggested pelvic floor therapy and the services of Core Therapy!! I would highly recommend them! I never knew this type of physical therapy even existed!

Core Therapy is a fantastic office! I wouldn't go anywhere else. Alex is a knowledgeable and personable therapist. It's hard to find care givers who have the time to spend explaining everything and answering all your questions, let alone do with a smile and compassion. She is exemplary in her field and among her peers. Everyone who works there is pleasant and friendly. I had never heard "core therapy" until this year, when my GP referred me. And I am so she did.

I'm not an actual patient of this office, but I was looking into becoming a new patient. After reading the reviews its safe to say I was put off a little bit but I tried to keep an open mind when I went in. I have to say I was not a fan of their customer service and will be going else where to get the care I need. Alex was very off putting

Update in response to what the owner of the page put. Since the owner of the page wants to respond to my review as if I was never a patient I might as well tell everyone why I would avoid this place. I was referred here by my PCM and was told that in order for this to be effective I needed to be seen at the very least once a week until we started to see progress and then we could see if we could tone it back. I was then only booked 2, max 3 appointments back to back. After that it started to be one appointment a month. Not because of me. Because of them. I tried to schedule weekly appointments

Cathy runs such a fantastic clinic. Her knowledge and skill is exceptional, and she has the unique ability to make every patient feel that they are her top priority. She puts in all the extra time and effort to go above and beyond. Absolutely top-notch care, especially for a field that can be so difficult for some people to ask for help in.
