Jessica Ekberg
Occupational Therapist & Pelvic Health Specialist
I’m an occupational therapist with over 20 years of experience. I have worked with clients of all ages, genders, and with varying diagnoses. I've also been a pelvic floor therapy patient myself.
For many years I thought that “leaking," “peeing my pants," and avoiding calisthenics was “normal." After having 2 kids and dealing with my own healing journey, I discovered that none of these “issues” were normal nor should anyone have to accept them. That was the start of my pelvic health journey as both a patient and a teacher.
Today, I am proud to help patients rebuild their health.

This helps to release muscle tension and can be done internally or externally.
Scar Management
Treat scar tissue and boost soft tissue mobilization around the site of the score.
Postural Movement
We'll examine and improve your posture when sitting, standing and completing other tasks.
Bladder & Bowel Training
This is a form of behavior therapy that can help treat urinary incontinence.
Muscle Energy Techniques
METs are an advanced type of stretch, a manual therapy that can help reduce pain.
Electrical Stimulation
A painless and effective procedure that treats urinary incontinence, frequency and urgency.
Pelvic Floor Exercises
Exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles can be done during a session and at home.
Stretching, Yoga & Strength
We often incorporate traditional strength-building exercises, stretching and yoga.
Nutrition & Lifestyle
Nutrition, lifestyle & hormonal health may also be addressed as part of pelvic floor therapy.
Your time is valuable and your care is important. When you work with me, you get personalized, one-on-one care for the entire length of your appointment in my private, comfortable practice space.
Seeing Jessica was the best thing I have done for not just my pelvic floor pain but my over all fitness.
It's hard to describe how much Jessica has helped me. I can't wait to get back to running, lifting & hiking!
Jess is amazing for pelvic floor therapy...This is the only thing that has helped. Highly recommend her services!!
Jessica is knowledgeable, funny and has helped me so much. She is the best!
I would recommend Jessica to anyone with pelvic floor pain.
I really appreciated Jessica's thorough approach. It was wonderful to finally find a provider who could assess my whole body.
Squeezing the lemon is the real deal! I made it through a seven-stage match on Saturday without issue. I was on my feet for seven hours straight. I had to run 15-20 yards on one stage. My hip was sore at the end of the day, but it did not fall apart, plus I was able to walk on Sunday. I would not have been able to do that without our work together.
My Location
Hours:
Monday-Friday: 8am to 6pm
Saturday: 8am to 12pm
I currently work out of True Performance PT, a traditional physical therapy practice specializing in injury treatment & prevention. You will be seen in a quiet, private space designed for pelvic floor therapy away from distraction and large waiting areas.
I offer flexible appointment hours because I believe you should be able to focus on getting better instead of stressing about missing work or needing childcare.
