Our Beautiful Client Success Stories:

Dr. Courtney changed my life. While being so lost with issues coming from pelvic floor trauma in my younger years, as well as choosing a birth control that wasn’t right for my body, I was hopeless in having an enjoyable sex life, on top of dealing with incontinence with exercise, hip and pelvic tightness etc. I was recommended to Dr. Courtney Johnson by another PT and after, was able to fully be relieved of pain and frustration due to her professionalism, knowledge, kindness and bedside manner. She was able to assist me with fully rehabbing my pelvic floor, and providing me knowledge and tools that allowed me to have a successful and pain free life style. For that I so deeply am grateful for her!

Working with Courtney was like a breath of much needed fresh air as a postpartum mom. Finding genuine, caring, knowledgeable and passionate individuals in healthcare, specifically for pregnant and postpartum women, are few and far between. She educated me on the pelvic floor and other related structures, listened and understood my goals, questions and concerns, and prescribed exercises to help me based on where I was physically at the time. Most importantly, she made me feel confident and comfortable to start challenging myself more in my work outs and provided me with the knowledge/tools I needed to move forward safely in my healing process.

When I became pregnant I knew I wanted to utilize pelvic floor PT throughout my pregnancy and post partum. Courtney was great to have for the 15 weeks leading up to birth which really helped contribute to a better labor. I felt stronger because of all the exercises and breathing skills she gave me leading up to birth. Postpartum, Courtney was able to help me regain a lot of my strength and because of her therapy I stopped having any type of bladder leakage or pelvic pain during activities. Now, 4 months postpartum, I feel back to my original strength prior to being pregnant. She is a great, knowledgeable therapist and will really make pregnancy and postpartum recovery great!

I found the female athlete Doc in October of 2022, after being told I would need surgery from birthing complications. I was not able to perform how I could before post baby. Before having a baby I was back squatting more than 300 lbs on the regular, clean and jerking over 180 lbs on the regular. After having a baby and getting cleared at the “6 week mark” I could barely squat the bar weight let alone do any workout pain free. Courtney and Renee helped me strengthen my core and gave me the strength back I was looking for to return to the gym. I no longer was at risk for needing surgery and after completing the 6 months I was stronger than pre pregnancy. I no longer needed to wear weight lifting shoes, weight belts. I am very happy I found this program to help me navigate returning back to my normal self after baby.

Dr. Courtney is the best!! I came to her about 6 months ago because I was desperate to stop leakage when exercising. I am a very active person, and since having a child nearly 7 years ago I’ve had issues with urgency and leakage. I saw a traditional pelvic floor physical therapist and always did kegels on my back. That is all good and well, but I am used to running, jumping, hiking, dancing, and weight training and the kegels alone were not cutting it. Courtney and Renee worked with me to find exercises that would first strengthen my deep core. From there the exercises built on each other and I worked my way up to doing box jumps and sprints with no leakage. It took a lot of time and effort, but both Courtney and Renee were there every step of the way! I needed a pelvic floor physical therapist that understood not only the pelvic floor but also the whole body and how everything works together to create a strong body that works as it should. Thank you for helping me achieve my goals!!

I started working with The Female Athlete Team a little more than 9 months ago. Originally I got started because sex was painful but also because I had a major muscular imbalance in my glutes. Dr. Courtney created an exercise program which focused on pelvic floor stretches AND fixing the imbalance. I saw progress almost immediately with sex but still had a lot of work to do on my glutes. She is incredibly good at what she does and she's bringing more attention to a field of physical therapy that women desperately need. With proper warmup and activation I can now lift and feel the muscles in both glutes working and I have a stronger pelvic floor + core than I ever have!

I was struggling with endometriosis, low back pain and wanted to work out again but didn't know where to start. I think what stopped me from doing it sooner was that I couldn't do it in person, but theres so much on in life. I'm so happy with the fact that I gave it a chance and I can workout without pain now. I wouldn't be able to be as far into my workout journey without these ladies!

Dr Courtney helped me so much to prepare for labor, delivery, and postpartum. She's very attentive and always addresses my needs with interventions. She not only cares about your physical well-being but your mental and emotional well-being as well. Having this program made it so easy to prepare my body for a natural labor.

Working with Courtney was such a great experience for me. With Courtney's help, I was able to connect the dots and actually understand more of my body, especially the pelvic floor. Pelvic floor health isn't taught in your normal education but it truly should be! While working with her, I was able to feel more connected to my movements and minimize leakage during my heavy lifts. Now I have more confidence to just go out on the platform and "let it rip" with my max attempts. If you have any sort of concerns about leakage or your pelvic floor health, I 100% recommend Courtney.

As an athlete in CrossFit and officer in the Army, for years I’ve struggled with incontinence with lifting and other strenuous activities. I’ve always thought I had a decently strong core and good body awareness for controlling my breathing, so I didn’t understand why the incontinence kept happening or what else I could do to stop it. When I started working with Courtney, I quickly realized I had to relearn what it means to engage my core and how to properly breathe. I also realized that my posterior chain needed a lot of work and that all of this was contributing to my incontinence. Courtney taught me invaluable cues on how to engage what needs to be engaged and how to properly breathe. I am always hesitant to see out physical therapy because I hate being told I shouldn’t move a certain way - I was extremely relieved and grateful when Courtney encouraged movement and never once told me I shouldn’t be doing something in the gym. With Courtney’s and Renee’s guidance, we were able to improve my incontinence and get my core and posterior chain stronger than ever. Super thankful for these ladies, they are extremely patient, receptive to feedback and wildly supportive!
Valeriya
Little did I know I was going to need Courtney's emotional support and professional guidance more than I could have imagined. My birth experience was far from my vision, although I did get my VBAC, I tore significantly and then was diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse at 6 weeks postpartum. I was suffering with vaginal spams, leaking, generalized pelvic aches/heaviness and was honestly feeling really alone and defeated. Courtney made me feel heard, cared for and encouraged me throughout my entire rehab process. She truly is your hype girl! I am now 4 months postpartum and feeling better than I could have imagined. I 100% recommend Courtney! She is not only a great pelvic floor PT but also the hype women, friend and support every women needs in their corner.

After feeling like I wasn’t being heard or understood by doctors regarding painful intercourse, I knew I wanted to find a Pelvic Floor PT. I randomly happened upon Courtney’s business card at a local gym and immediately reached out. We instantly connected and I knew I could trust her to help me feel better in my body. She not only helped narrow down where the problem was and gave me tools/resources to use but she also opened my eyes to hip flexor strengthening and deep core movements. All of which have radically changed how I exercise and even help my own fitness clients! I truly couldn’t recommend Courtney enough! She is wildly knowledgable and incredibly kind. She truly cares about her clients and is so passionate about her work. You will not regret working with her, I promise!

After my first pregnancy, I experienced a lot of pelvic floor issues I neglected for far too long. This second time around, I knew I needed to be proactive and get to work ASAP. I also knew I wouldn’t have the time to go for frequent in-person office visits and needed motivation to do my exercises. I signed up to work with Courtney for 3 months online when I was about 1 month postpartum. I was nervous it was too soon, but it was the best thing! I loved daily reminders to take care of me, doing specific stretches and exercises to help my body feel less pain and treat my unpleasant pelvic floor symptoms, eat better, and help me establish good habits for exercising postpartum so I could feel good in my body again. A great investment made in me! 🤩

Frequently Asked Questions:

Your pelvic muscles are a group of muscles that lie at the bottom of the pelvis. These muscles have many functions like maintaining continence, supporting our pelvic organs, providing sexual sensations and more. These muscles are extremely important to pay attention to with aging as they are often neglected and are not directly trained. The pelvic floor muscles also tend to contribute to a lot of issues in and around the pelvis so it’s important to understand where they are,what they do and how to best support them so we can avoid issues altogether down the road. 

Because your core is arguably one of the most essential muscle groups. you core is made up more then just your abdominal muscles. Your “core” is the pelvic floor, diaphragm, spinal muscles, and abdominal muscles. Strengthening these muscle groups will reduce pelvic floor dysfunction like leakage, risk of prolapse, low back and SI joint pain and improve sexual functions. 

We make the program with everything you have. However, it is strongly recommended to have some sort of resistance bands and dumbbells at home because we always want to be able to challenge the body in order to create adaptation. Our programming can be done at home or at the gym in conjunction with your other plans you may be doing

You will create a profile inside of the Female Athlete’s app and all of your customized rehab programming and weekly support will be inside the app. The workouts have step by step demonstration videos + Dr. Courtney’s cueing in order to get the most out of your program.
