Frequently Asked Questions
"If I’ve tried physical therapy, chiro or other rehab options in the past without lasting relief, how can this be different?"
We hear this all the time from women who’ve done months of PT, seen multiple specialists, and still don’t have answers. What makes our work together different is that we go beyond traditional PT by looking at your entire body not just your hip. This isn’t a one size fits all solution and unfortunately that’s how many of our “typical” rehab settings today approach hip pain.
We assess pelvic floor, core control, movement patterns, nervous system regulation, and hormonal factors to uncover what others may have missed. Plus, we incorporate neuroplasticity which is essential to full healing and staying out of pain, rather than just gaining short term relief. It’s important to identify ALL areas feeding into your unique limitations.
Cookie cutter programs, general exercises, no specific modifications based on technique or body structure, no discussion of the pelvic floor and not enough attention to detail when working with highly motivated, active women are some of the many reasons why so many clients come to me frustrated that they’ve already tried therapy (and done their part!) but it hasn’t solved their pain.
Not to mention, the level of daily access and communication we offer our clients is what sets working with our PACE PT ladies on a whole different level compared to a typical clinical rehab experience.

"I’m not sure this will work for me- my case feels unique…"
We get it. So many of our clients come to us feeling like they’ve already “tried everything” and that their situation is the one that just doesn’t respond. Has a provider told you: "You're a mystery to me", "I don't know what else to do with you" or "This is just your new normal" ...
Frustrating, huh?
Chronic hip pain often stems from a combination of factors, which is why one-dimensional treatments usually fall short.
What makes our approach different is that you’re not just working with a physical therapist. You’re being supported by a collaborative team that understands how the entire body works together. Our work with clients integrates:
But this process requires a certain kind of person. The women who succeed with us are:

What makes our approach different is that you’re not just working with a physical therapist. You’re being supported by a collaborative team that understands how the entire body works together. Our work with clients integrates:
- Orthopedic & pelvic floor physical therapy to identify compensations and restore foundational movement.
- Functional medicine insights to understand the hormonal and systemic influences on healing (especially during perimenopause, menopause or postpartum).
- Strength coaching & personal training to rebuild resilience in a way that matches your body’s capacity and goals.
- Nervous system and neuroplasticity guidance to address the stress response, poor movement patterns, or unawareness of how the body’s systems are working together, which are often hidden contributors to chronic symptoms.
But this process requires a certain kind of person. The women who succeed with us are:
- Open-minded and ready to try a new way—even if it feels different than past care.
- Willing to take ownership of their healing (with our full support).
- Motivated not just to “get by,” but to truly feel strong, confident, and free in their body again.
"Does virtual rehab actually work?"
This is one of the most common questions we get, and we understand why. It’s easy to assume hands-on care is the only way to get real answers. But here’s what we’ve seen time and time again:
Thanks to the recent advances in technology, we’ve been able to successfully work with clients on 6 continents, in over 20 countries, and across countless time zones helping them achieve real, lasting results. Our approach goes beyond just looking at a joint or muscle in isolation. Through virtual assessments, we can observe how you move in your real-life environment where habits, compensations, and pain patterns are often most visible. This actually gives us more insight than a short in-person exam ever could.
We guide you through:
- Specific full body movement tests
- Postural and brain body awareness assessments
- Real-time feedback and cueing
- And even pelvic floor screenings—yes, virtually!—all from the comfort and privacy of your home.
But it’s not just about the assessment: it’s about empowerment.
We work with you to help you understand what’s going on in your body, why it’s happening, and exactly what to do to correct it. No more relying on someone else to “fix” you. You’ll gain clarity and confidence in your path forward. When you have the right plan and the support to take consistent action, healing becomes possible no matter where you live. Hear some of the key insights our clients share about our virtual work (even when past in person PT didn't fully help them).
"What exactly does working with you include?"
This isn’t just another round of physical therapy exercises or a standard set of stretches. Our programs are designed to create a full-body, nervous system-driven transformation…the kind that traditional PT often overlooks.
We start with comprehensive virtual assessments that go far beyond isolated joints or symptoms. You’ll be guided through:
- Movement and posture testing to identify compensations you’ve likely built up for years.
- In depth pelvic floor assessments to uncover hidden contributors to pain and tension.
- Breathwork and nervous system regulation tools to support deep healing from the inside out.
- Neuroplastic rewiring techniques that retrain your brain to stop interpreting safe movement as “danger,” which is a key reason chronic pain often sticks around.
From there, you’ll get:
- A customized weekly movement plan based on your assessment results.
- Ongoing progress tracking and plan adjustments as you improve.
- Access to our multi-disciplinary team from orthopedic PT and pelvic health to strength coaching and functional medicine insights.
- Weekly coaching and check-ins to help you stay accountable, get feedback, and work through mental/emotional blocks that often show up during healing.
