Move Without Pain. At Every Stage.

Pelvic Floor & Women's Health Physical Therapy, Virtual and In-Home in Bergen County, NJ

Mama Bear PT is physical therapy that treats the whole person, not just the injury. We use a nervous system-based approach to help your body feel safe enough to move again, whether you're preparing for birth, recovering postpartum, navigating hypermobility, or just tired of being told your pain is "normal." Virtual and in-home sessions in Bergen County, NJ.

You're not broken.

Your nervous system just needs to feel safe.

Traditional orthopedic PT often follows a formula: identify the injury, prescribe the exercise, push through the pain. But if you've tried that and it hasn't worked, you're not alone, and you're not the problem.

Dr. Helene takes the time most clinics don't: a real history, a real conversation, and a real look at what your nervous system is telling you. Pain and dysfunction are often protective responses, not just structural damage. When we help your body feel safe, it can finally move, strengthen, and heal.

This is care for the full lifespan of the pelvic floor and beyond: pregnancy, birth prep, postpartum recovery, hypermobility, chronic pain, and strength training for women who want to feel capable in their bodies again.

"I had a lot of pain for a while and no one could figure out how to help. After one appointment with Dr Helene, she helped me figure out what was going on, and we came up with a program to help me get better. She helped me find a diagnosis and I started feeling better quickly. I am truly so very grateful to Dr Helene, who listened to me and who helped me figure out how to get better by doing excersises that were tailored to my body and abilities. She is truly amazing as a professional and as a human being."
"Can I give Dr Helene 10 out of 5 stars? Can I give her 1 Billion out of 5 stars?? Because, in all seriousness, Dr Helene restored my quality life. I had been dealing with debilitating back issues for about three years and had seen other PTs and sought many other kinds of treatment, too (acupuncture, massage, etc.). Dr Helene was the only person who was able to help... and now I'm pain-free, back to all of my normal activities. Dr Helene's limitless knowledge of the human body is only outdone by her kindness and caring. Whenever she gave me an exercise, my body *instantly* understood why it was necessary for my treatment. And HOW she is able to treat me remotely truly continues to boggle my mind. She is a total light, an absolute joy, an absolutely incredible PT, and I couldn't possibly be more grateful to her. Okay, I'll settle for giving her ONE GAZILLION out of five stars."
"I am so glad I (virtually) found Dr. Helene! I was hesitant to try virtual PT but honestly felt just as comprehensive as in-person (which I've done many times with other providers) She was able to pick up on so many little changes in my body that I didn't even notice, and gave me the confidence during (and outside of) sessions that made me feel more like me. The app and platforms she uses are very user-friendly. Also Dr. Helene is not just friendly, but makes the sessions and working with her so much fun!"
"Everyone should have access to postpartum physical therapy no matter their birth process and as a fitness professional myself, I'm picky about the people that I rely on for my own care and wellness. There's no better person I would trust to help with all of the postpartum aches like Helene. She was the absolute best at addressing all of my postpartum concerns, as varied and complex as they could be. She put together a thorough program, listened to all of my concerns and helped me get to my goals of pain-free movement now and well into the future beyond PT. This mama bear is so so appreciative of the attention to detail, adaptability and care that Helene puts into her work!"
"Helene was WONDERFUL. She made me feel safe and helped me transform my postpartum body in just a few months! I am so thankful I found her and highly recommend her services. I also loved that she does virtual visits as I'm a mom of a 1 year old and scheduling/travel can be tricky."
"Dr. Helene is knowledgeable, helpful, kind and funny! She helped me with sacroiliac pain in my third trimester and with functional exercises after birth, to help with breastfeeding slouch and abdominal separation. Dr. Helene gave me exercises which she films herself, all on an app to check off each session. She worked with me to make the exercises manageable with two little kids, and organized them in order of priority. She’s also a mom and she gets it- so understanding and accommodating. Manual physical therapy was super helpful as well. She’s wonderful- highly recommend!"
