I absolutely loved working with Lauren at Empower Physical Therapy. She was so professional, listened to my concerns, and was always thoughtful about the exercises she had me do each session as well as at home. They truly customize their plans to meet the needs of their patients at each session. I cannot say enough wonderful things about their practice!

I engaged with Lauren for 8 sessions to curb my pelvic floor issues. I thought that what I was experiencing was normal for my age & having had 2 babies. Little did I know that it wasn’t something I had to live with.

Lauren really listened to me, focused on my whole body, with the emphasis on enhancing my quality of life. After each session, she had home exercises for me to do. There’s an app with an accompanying video and notes specific to me. How easy was this?

I so appreciate the time she put into me. Working with Lauren was absolutely worth the investment.

Dr. Lauren is the best. After having my baby, my body was in constant pain and I was incredibly uncomfortable with any type of activity (even just going on walks). Dr. Lauren drastically increased my quality of life and within 4-5 sessions, I no longer had any discomfort and was completely back to my normal self. She also explains everything so well and makes you feel SO comfortable. Dr. Lauren is the best of the best and I would recommend her to absolutely every pregnant and postpartum mom I know!!

I had the most amazing experience working with Lauren! My only regret is that I did not start after my first pregnancy, and that I waited for after my third baby!
Starting with my first pregnancy, I felt like my body was ‘broken.’ I was always so scared that any exercise I would do would further weaken my pelvic floor, and that I would never be able to get back into running. I really didn’t feel at home in my body anymore. After my third baby, I decided to give PT a chance, and it was life changing! After 12 sessions not only was I able to run again, but I started lifting weights, strengthening my core, and I have never been in better shape. More importantly though, I don’t feel scared of my body anymore; scared that I don’t understand what’s going on and that I’m doing something wrong. Truly I feel very empowered! I’ve learned how to listen to my body and how to feel connected, allowing me to challenge myself in ways I never have before. I am so grateful for Lauren!

I've had a great experience working with Dr. Aimee throughout my 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy. I was recommended pelvic floor PT because of increasing pelvic girdle pain early in pregnancy and especially when working out. My initial goal was to address this pain so that I could stay active in my pregnancy but I've learned so much more throughout my time with her from ways my walking patterns, exercise and posture have affected by pelvic floor over the years.

I appreciate the holistic approach and she's provided a plethora of exercises to target different muscle groups surrounding my pelvic floor as well as exercises to improve my movement overall with exercise and daily activities. Her exercise list is tailor made and she's always got alternative exercises to swap in if I'm struggling with a certain movement or something causes pain.

I started these sessions expecting to focus on pregnancy aches and pains but it has been so much more than that and my whole approach towards working out has changed. I'm getting more out of strength training and targeting specific muscle groups. Also loved the birth prep specific session during my 37th week that helped me feel prepared for labor. Highly recommend Aimee for pelvic floor PT and beyond!

I started seeing Dr. Aimee early in my second trimester as I was already experiencing pelvic floor changes. She helped me feel comfortable throughout the rest of my pregnancy. I’ve continued virtual sessions during my “fourth trimester” and she’s helped me begin to feel strong and confident in my body again. I’ll soon be back to doing the activities I love with Dr. Aimee’s guidance!

I’ve been to my fair share of physical therapists, but before finding Empower Physical Therapy, I always left feeling frustrated and hopeless. No one seemed to truly listen to me or understand my struggles, and I wasn’t seeing the progress I desperately needed.

That all changed with Dr. Aimee at Empower Physical Therapy. From our very first session, I felt a difference. She didn’t rush me through a checklist; instead, she sat down and really listened. Her questions were thoughtful and unlike anything I’d been asked before, and they gave me a sense of being truly cared for.

Dr. Aimee’s expertise as a pelvic floor specialist and her dedication to exploring the root cause of my back pain has been eye-opening. While we’re still uncovering answers, she’s helped me make connections no one else has, and I’m already seeing real progress. My pain has eased, my confidence in physical therapy has skyrocketed, and I’m starting to feel like myself again.

As someone who loves dancing, I had been holding back out of fear of hurting myself. But this December, I danced without pain or setbacks for the first time in years. That freedom meant everything to me.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed or stuck in your recovery, I can’t recommend Dr. Aimee enough. She’s the kind of physical therapist who genuinely cares and works with you to create real, lasting change. Thank you, Dr. Aimee, for giving me back hope and movement!

I worked with Dr. Paradiso virtually on some pelvic floor issues postpartum, and she was fantastic!! She took all of my concerns and information seriously, and provided helpful expertise and physical therapy exercises specific to my issues, body, and health history. I am pleased to say my symptoms have resolved with her help! I am so grateful to have worked with Lauren!! Despite all of our sessions being virtual, I still felt I was getting quality attention, quality assessment of my movement, and quality instruction. Also, the app she uses through her business was really helpful towards me successfully completing my at-home exercise work—I found the video instructions of each exercise particularly helpful to have as reference. Overall it was an excellent experience and I highly recommend Dr. Paradiso!
