Darla Cathcart - Physical Therapist

About Darla

As a pelvic and women's health physical therapist for 20 years, I believe in empowering patients and helping them learn how to heal and care for themselves. I want to help patients have and get back to optimal function, be it in exercise, work, childcare, physical intimacy - whatever is being affected by bladder, bowel, pelvic pain, prolapse, or other pelvic health conditions; or during pregnancy and postpartum. In addition to patient care, I also teach and train other health providers all over the U.S. and outside the nation to provide pelvic floor and perinatal rehabilitation services through the Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute.
