Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy · Santa Monica
Helping you restore your modern core.
Leaking when you laugh, sneeze, or run? Pain that no one seems to take seriously? It's not unfixable — and it's treatable. One-on-one, judgment-free pelvic floor physical therapy for every body.
What is pelvic floor physical therapy?
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized treatment that strengthens, lengthens, and recruits the muscles supporting all your pelvic organs. PFPT treats conditions such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, diastasis recti, and postpartum recovery — using manual therapy, biofeedback, breathwork, and targeted therapeutic exercises. At Modern Core, every session is one full hour, one-on-one, with a Doctor of Physical Therapy.
What We Treat
Care for the symptoms no one warned you about
If your body has changed after birth, surgery, or simply over time, you deserve answers — not "just do your Kegels." Here's where we help.
Bladder Leaks & Incontinence
Leaking when you cough, laugh, jump, or can't make it to the bathroom in time? Common — but not something you have to live with.

What to Expect
Care that feels safe from the first hello
Pelvic health can feel vulnerable. Here, you set the pace — every step is explained, and nothing happens without your consent.
Listen & Assess
We start with your story and goals, then a thorough, comprehensive evaluation. Any internal exam is always optional and consent-based.
A Plan Made for You
You'll leave your first visit with a clear, personalized plan — hands-on treatment, movement, breathwork, and a simple home routine.
Restore & Graduate
We work together until you're back to the life you love — pain-free, leak-free, and confident. Many patients "graduate" in weeks.
In Their Words
Real results, real relief
"With Corrine's help I was able to work on not just my pelvic floor issues but my abdominal and knee issues too. It's crazy how the body is connected — the work she does really helped my overall health."
"Corrine is the best. So patient, smart and funny. I totally trust her and all of her recommendations. Her care really helped me get back to playing tennis without pain."
"I went to two other pelvic therapists who I feel didn't understand me. I found Corrine and she knew exactly what to do, and walked me through her plan each session until I 'graduated.'"
Insurance & Investment
Transparent pricing, real one-on-one care
We're an out-of-network practice — and that's by design. It means a full hour of focused, doctor-led care every visit, never rushed and never double-booked. We make reimbursement simple.
- ✓ We provide a detailed Superbill to submit to your insurer
- ✓ Many patients are reimbursed 50–80% once their out-of-network deductible is met
- ✓ HSA & FSA accepted
- ✓ No referral needed to start care in California
- ✓ A simple script for what to ask your insurance
Good Questions
