It’s been wonderful working with both Marci and Caitlin prenatally and postpartum. They are a wealth of knowledge, and helped me prepare for delivery and heal my pelvic floor after said delivery.I feel strong — and equally important, I feel educated and empowered about my body. I tell every expecting and new mom to go to pelvic floor PT if they can!

I am so glad I found Marci and Pelvic Path Physical Therapy! I had struggled with a number of pelvic floor issues since being pregnant 3 years ago including the dreaded sneeze pee, lower back pain etc. Marci made me feel instantly comfortable and so much care, attention and thoroughness was paid to every single one of my struggles. She taught me so much about my body and what it needs and also helped me come up with easy, manageable ways to work taking care of myself into my busy mom life. I will use the things she taught me for the rest of my life to keep not just my pelvic floor healthy but to keep my entire body mobile and strong and I am very confident it will all help me weather body changes in the aging process. Anyone would be so fortunate to get to work with Marci and the whole Pelvic Path team!

I came to Marci for some severe cramping pain and a prolapse. Within the initial meeting, we were able to determine the likely source of my cramping and what we could do about. We then addressed the prolapse and my overall health and well being. This is by far more than pelvic therapy. Marci sees you, your entire soul and self. She is able to work with you to create the best treatments. I have felt a huge sense of relief from my sessions with Marci. I have never regretted doing the work once I have finished! I always feel better after doing my therapy work and am so grateful to have found Marci to help me to continue to heal.

I have been seeing Marci at Pelvic Path for close to 10 months now. My initial reason for coming was bladder leakage... But things began surfacing in my body that I thought were unrelated. Each session I would mention the new thing and each time Marci would have an explanation on how the symptom I was experiencing was related to the pelvic floor and would offer up an exercise to address the issue. Not only has my leakage improved dramatically but so has my overall physical strength and mental well-being. She uses an integrative approach to healing and strengthening. I feel empowered and engaged in my healing process. She is giving me tools to take with me as I move forward.Marci is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, empathetic, adaptable and upbeat with just the right amount task master thrown in.The sessions are always different and meet me where Im at on the day of the session. I trust her implicitly! She is a valued member of my health care team.

When I first saw Dr. Caitlin nearly 3 months postpartum I was afraid of my own body - it was in so much pain and I didnt know what was safe. She assessed me and created a plan based on what I wanted to achieve - and over the course of several months I mostly achieved it!She was very understanding of the limited time I have available and gave me exercises that I could do while baby was sleeping, or doing tummy time. As the exercises progressed she was able to come up with the most impactful exercises for me. Im comfortable with my own body again and its getting stronger!Im really grateful I made the investment and had such an awesome person to work with!

Marci is incredibly knowledgeable. Following the birth of my second daughter, I was determined to treat my diastisis but I am getting so much more than that from Marci. She took the time to thoroughly assess my needs and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to my concerns. Marci takes a holistic approach to pelvic floor therapy. She provided me with practical exercises and strategies to incorporate into my daily life. This comprehensive approach not only addressed my immediate concerns but also empowered me to take control of my own health and well-being.

I loved working with Dr.Marci and Dr.Caitlin! My quuey was back pain due to my work. I got a lot of advice which Im implementing in day-to-day life! I loved the attention and problem-solving approach!

I reached out to Marci for help with my mom’s chronic back pain and lack of stability. Our experience with her has exceeded our expectations. She has been a lifeline for my mom in getting back into physical movement, and also mental health. Marci has provided emotional support and encouragement that has made the physical work possible for my mom who came in feeling very defeated by her limitations. I can’t thank Marci enough!!

Wow!! I am so impressed by the knowledge, professionalism, and support that I receive every time I come to Pelvic Path Physical Therapy! Specially, Dr. Caitlin’s passion and insight about what she does radiates every time I see her! Everyone listens to my physical needs and encourages my progress every step of the way. I always leave feeling confident, strong, and grateful that I am receiving physical care and attention at such an elite level. I would highly recommend Pelvic Path Physical Therapy for any of your physical therapy needs!

Marci was so wonderful to work with during my postpartum journey. She listened intently to my goals for my body, and was able to use her expertise to come up with a simple program to get me feeling comfortable in my own body again, go back to pain free running, and help with leakage issues post baby. I decided to pay privately for physical therapy services because I knew my insurance would be rigid in the amount of times I would be able to be seen by a therapist, and thus would not offer the same flexibility and care that Marci was able to give me. As someone who works in the therapy field as a neuro occupational therapist, I was so impressed with Marcis knowledge, evidenced-based techniques, and comfortable clinic space. I am eternally grateful for her involvement in my postpartum journey, and know that this is not the last time Ill be using her services. I cant recommend her enough!

Marci has been incredibly helpful for pubic symphysis dysfunction pain during pregnancy and helped me recover after giving birth. She is so knowledgeable and detailed while creating exercise plans exactly tailored for your body and what you are experiencing. Highly recommend to anyone dealing with pelvic pain both pre- and postpartum.

Working with Dr. Caitlin was the most supportive and engaged relationship, so important for a delicate subject like pelvic floor concerns. She listened, encouraged me and made our meeting enjoyable. This was truly the most positive experience, something I did just for myself in an environment of encouraging supportive women. Thank you so much for everything!

I came to Pelvic Path Therapy after I had a baby to make sure I was healing correctly and for help getting back to running. I saw both Marci and Caitlin and highly recommend both therapists. They were knowledgable in different methods and exercises, listened to any concerns, and were so helpful in getting me back to feeling the way I did pre baby. I can not recommend this service enough to new mothers.

Early in 2024 my colorectal surgeon recommended Marci Silverberg to increase the strength of my pelvic floor muscles. I had been concerned about bowel issues while traveling, particularly on airplanes.Marci prescribed several exercises, recommended that I use a small stool when having a bowel movement, and also that I sit on the toilet for five minutes at the same time each morning.By the end of March Marci said that my pelvic floor muscles are normal. I now feel confident that I can travel by air without expecting any bowel issues.I highly recommend Marci to anyone with similar issues.Sincerely, Dennis

I’ve struggled with chronic pelvic pain for 3 years now. After trying every solution under the sun, I was ready to give up the expectation of ever being pain-free again. Enter Marci and Pelvic Path Physical Therapy. After my first intake session, I left with something I hadn’t had in years: hope. Marci was empathetic, gentle, understanding, and supportive every step of the way through treatment. She is an incredible listener and takes the time to truly understand the multifaceted ways her patients are impacted by their pain. Marci offered a wealth of different approaches to healing, and her versatile solutions helped me not only better understand my pain, but alleviate it as well. Marci was a miracle worker for me and I cannot recommend her services enough. Thank you for everything, Pelvic Path!

Initially I started therapy following a hysterectomy and wanted to improve my pelvic health. But it evolved into much more. Dr. Caitlin has helped me become more accountable about my self care. She is so easy to talk to. I really can’t say enough about my experience with their therapy. It is life changing.

My evaluation was eye opening and life changing. I fell and landed at the bottom of the stairs and hit my sacral bones six years ago and was never received any treatment or help I needed. I’m so grateful that I finally have found professional help Ive been praying for! Caitlin, the physical therapist was very professional, compassionate and warm. I felt very safe. It was a great experience.

I found this PT on Facebook, and because of the endorsements, decided to trust my gut and sign up. I’m so glad I did! Dr. Caitlin has taken me from closed off, leaky bladder, fearful and feeling diminished as a woman in general, to feeling like I can be open, strong again, and trust in my body again. When I had an injury in the past, I never found anyone as intuitive and whole body integrated as Caitlin! It was 18 months of trying, but in just several weeks with her, I’m feeling amazing. She’s the real deal! Thank you, Dr. Caitlin, for your excellent skills and support through this process!

I have gone down the traditional path of ‘you just need to do kegels’ with some minor success, that was 10 years ago. I could laugh without leaking but definitely not sneeze without crossing my legs and praying. Pevic Path has solved my issues I’ve lived with for 10 years. Ladies, there is zero reason you should leak….ever. Get to the root of the problem and address it. Don’t just stick a kegel bandaid on it and hope for the best like I did.I learned from Dr. Caitlin, yes I need to do Kegels, but not a million of them. My current count is 7 per day, as fatigue is a real thing. But also while my legs are strong, my glutes are very weak, that I over arch my lower back and need to practice ‘tucking my tail’ more Learned we have 4 levels of abdominals and while my level 1-3 are good my level 4 is very weak. Also learned I’m dehydrated, and that I’m a ‘power pee-er’ where I push my pee out, which is apparently NOT what I should be doing. So little by little I’m addressing my body as a whole and seeing results. All of that is so much more helpful than the ‘oh just do your kegels and you’ll be fine’. Womens health deserves physical therapists just like any other part of the body, and Pelvic path is exactly that.The body works as a system and if you focus on one thing you might miss the real cause like weak glutes or abs, or power peeing. Go see Pelvic Path. Cheers to sneezing leak free!

I had my first Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy appointment Friday EVER and I wanted to share how it went because this is something I recommend to all my clients, fellow coaches and talk to women about all the time.It went amazing.Not only did I get answers, resources and homework but someone took the time to literally understand my emotional and physical health within the first part of the appointment.I was treated as a whole person.I was thoroughly assessed through watching me do specific movements, asking me questions throughout, explaining what an internal pelvic exam would consist of, and talking me through it the entire time.When I called to book the appointment, it was something that I wanted to do but felt pretty good throughout the beginning of the pregnancy this time until suddenly I didn’t.The way I was feeling was impacting my capability as a mother to a toddler, my movement practices as a coach, and my workouts. I was starting to feel limited.I started having braxton hicks contractions almost daily for a month and when they would end, I would experience deep pelvic pain, on one side, for HOURS after.I started to feel like I was straining when I was going pee, even though I was totally relaxed.I booked the appointment 3 weeks before, after consulting my own health care (Kaiser) for assistance with pelvic floor physical therapy and asking them to make an appointment with the OB that I liked.Kaiser declined both because this was “normal” to feel the pelvic pain during pregnancy because this was my second pregnancy and things are just growing faster.I was told to just take Tylenol.I believe there is a root cause to everything we feel.I know there are things that can be done to treat and relieve pain that don’t have anything to do with pain killers.At my appointment, I was asked several questions and I brought up some things that happened during my first birth.During that conversation, I realized that I was never treated as a whole person or with respect in regards to things I had disclosed to my OB and Kaiser at the beginning of my pregnancy.My first birth felt vulnerable and violating.I was forced and guilted to do things I wasn’t comfortable with during a time where I needed support, care, and information about what was happening and what was coming next.I realized as I was talking about these experiences that I was emotionally trying to protect myself, my new child and this next birth experience by empowering myself through more knowledge, experience and information.I had experienced a traumatic labor, delivery and so had my son.My body is literally trying to protect me from how I feel about childbirth. I’ve heard about how our hips and pelvic floor muscles hold on to trauma but I had a big realization right there.And then we talked about an internal exam and what that would be like and if I was comfortable doing one.During the exam, I felt comfortable and talked through every single thing that was happening.It started with my adductor muscle and realizing how insanely tense it was. As she worked her way up, we found the root issue as my left, deep, posterior pelvic floor.I learned that our posterior pelvis reacts to how safe we feel. My body was likely, tense due to past trauma and stress.I was given resources, coupons for services that would benefit my personal situation, and exercises that can help me relax my pelvic floor to prepare for birth now that I’m in the 3rd trimester AND to help relax the tension in those affected muscles.Sometimes, health insurance doesn’t provide the health care we need.Sometimes, we need to outsource help and find professionals who genuinely care about their patients and create the space and time for them to be heard and seen.Pelvic floor physical therapy should be standard of care, not just for women going through pregnancy and postpartum periods but anytime someone experiences pelvic or back pain too.You deserve better care than being brushed off after a 2 minute phone call and told to take Tylenol when you’re in pain.

I was diagnosed with Pudendal Neuralgia a few months ago. After suffering with the pain from this for months prior, I found Marcie online and set up an appointment with her. She was familiar with this condition and after an in depth phone consultation she set up a time for me to come see her. I cannot say enough good things about Marcie. She was very professional, informed and so helpful in teaching me exercises that I could do at home in between visits with her. Her studio is nicely appointed, comfortable and decked out with the essential props needed for my exercises. She gives you an undivided hour of her time and shares her knowledge in a language I could understand. I would not hesitate to see her if you have the same condition I do, she’s a life saver.

There is no better PT firm than this one! Dr. Mondt is the best physical therapist out there, she’s truly magic! With her magic touch and her incredible passion and knowledge she was able to reduce my pain after just one visit! I’m forever grateful for the help of Pelvic Path and if I could give it 12 stars I would!

I saw both Marci and Caitlin at Pelvic Path PT for pelvic floor dysfunction I experienced after having my second child. They were both very warm, professional, and practical, with focus at each visit on my stated goals. The treatment felt very personalized, and I left each session feeling encouraged and Im certainly stronger than I was when I started.

Marci is a truly fantastic physical therapist. I have had a number of pelvic floor issues as well as hip/lower back pain since giving birth to my daughter over a year ago. Before Marci, I saw another pelvic floor physical therapist without much relief.After the first session with Marci I knew I was in good hands. She has the perfect combination of being extremely bright and knowledgeable as well as kind and compassionate. She was able to put me at ease and give me hope for healing when I was feeling quite worried.I also love that she keenly understands the mindbody connection and is able to address areas like birth trauma.Im doing so much better now and feel that complete recovery is not only possible, but close!Marci is truly a special PT and I feel so lucky to be in her care!

Marci and Natalie helped save my postpartum experience with my second child so I could fully embrace the time with my new daughter. I experienced a handful of extreme unpleasant pelvic floor issues following the delivery of my first daughter (I saw a different pelvic floor PT at that time), so when I became pregnant a second time I started seeing Marci for prenatal pelvic floor PT to try to prevent the issues from recurring. I was told by my OB that I would likely experience the same issues following the birth of my second child - and that they would likely be more severe. I had low expectations but as soon as I started seeing Marci I knew I was in good hands! She and I worked together throughout my pregnancy to help prepare for my labor and delivery. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable on prenatal, postnatal and general physical therapy, she is also a caring person who takes the time to genuinely listen and understand your experience and goals.Thanks to working with Marci during my pregnancy I experienced very minimal to no pelvic floor issues following the delivery of my second child! I didn’t think it would be possible!! I then worked with Natalie postpartum to build back my strength and she also helped address some SI joint pain I had been experiencing. Thanks to Marci and Natalie I was able to run at only a few months postpartum!! And instead of worrying about my own healing in my early days postpartum, they supported me so I could fully embrace the time with my new daughter.

Pelvic health is a strong component of our overall health. Dysfunction can show up at different stages in our lives. Proactively reaching out to such an amazing team like Marci and Caitlin at the onset of symptoms will not only help you feel better, through managing and/or resolving symptoms, but it will leave you feeling more empowered, while you gradually integrate healthier lifestyle patterns in your daily life. Who wouldn’t want that?

After falling hard on my tailbone, I worked with an Acupuncturist, a Chiropractor and Massage Therapist, but when I had a session with Marci, the work she did on me in the office, and the exercises she gave me to do at home really sped up the healing process. It was also great to get validation on how I was going about addressing the pain. Marci is a very knowledgeable and kind-hearted practitioner, and I would highly recommend her!

Teaming up with Marci has empowered me to address the tight and weak areas of my postpartum body - areas that she helped me investigate and identify. Her process is fun, rational, and exploratory and gets to solutions quickly if you do your PT exercises! After just a handful of sessions I was surprised by significant relief of pain and a clear trend towards feeling good/strong. In addition to prescribing exercises/stretches for your issues, she has other tools for supporting healing/progress such as cupping and massage.I am stronger and have a better understanding of my specific body mechanics because of working with Marci.Mothers can bring baby(s) to sessions and incorporate very practical movement into daily life. There is a convenient parking structure next to her office and going to appointments is easy.

Marci is a wealth of knowledge, making her clients feel at ease and comfortable. Many OBs don’t discuss the fact that there can be scar tissue at the perineum after vaginal birth and how to heal. Marci, helps moms after birth whether vaginal or cesarean, address these issues and recover in a better way. I feel every new mom should see her!! She’s amazing!!

I came to Marci’s practice seeking help to strengthen my pelvic floor. I had no idea pelvic floor therapy existed, but thankfully my gynecologist recommended it. Marci just happened to know the Dr. who referred me. I was thrilled to know she held her in such high esteem.As nervous as I was to have someone working on such intimate parts of my body, and considering my ignorance in knowing what therapy could be provided for me I decided to check out Marci’s website. I thought she looked like a perfect fit as someone I could trust. I still wasn’t sure how physical therapy could help me.I contacted Marci through text, email and by phone. She was always available & flexible. She made me feel very comfortable by communicating exactly how she could help me, and by answering every question & concern I had. I still had reservations about being seen, but she let me go at my own pace by intuitively acknowledging my unspoken reservations. She had me as comfortable as if she was family by the time our first session was over. I knew I could trust her to guide the flow of my therapy.Little did I know that I had been suffering from pelvic floor trauma since my first birth over 15 years ago! Marci brought me in contact with parts of my being that I didn’t know I could connect with in such a pivotal way. Such a simple factor as breathing to release tension, and to be present in my body in the moment allowed me the focus I needed to feel muscles and tension I had never felt consciously before. She taught me how to breathe into and out of muscle contraction. I was simply blown away at how subtle physical therapy can be while providing such a powerful tool to use in everyday life.I hope this testimony inspires women to feel empowered and informed and to brave the unknown, to seek help in areas they may have felt there was no avenue to explore.Marci is such a sweet person, an excellent physical therapist and so full of information. I had a wonderful time working with her through our sessions and getting to know a little about her as a mother.

Marci is a game-changer! I keep saying that but its true. I found Marci out of desperation when my 18 year old son was recovering from a severe Traumatic Brain Injury from a motorcycle accident. He was already in Physical Therapy for months relearning to walk, etc but was beginning to have low back pain that we could not figure out. Also, his gait was very uncoordinated and he was beginning to overcompensate and develop bad gait and posture habits that his current PT was not correcting. I found Marcis website and saw her Neuro background and called and chatted with her. She was wonderful. My son started seeing her and we immediately saw a HUGE difference in his walking, balance, posture, etc. Not only is her demeanor kind, supportive, and encouraging; but her knowledge is vast and she has an innate ability to hone in on the details of what is needed. She also provided manual table work which he was also not previously receiving in PT and it has made a HUGE difference. Marci is an incredible PT, and believe me, after all of the therapists weve dealt with, Ive become an expert. ;)

I worked with Marci after having an unplanned c section. Id really wanted to get back into strength training, hiking and yoga but knew I needed to heal and be careful given the surgery. Marci built a plan and got me back to all of my exercises earlier than planned which not only built back my confidence but she also ensured I knew how to take care of my scar and what to look out for as I continue to heal. She also is incredibly flexible with having your baby join. If highly recommend her.

I love Marci! Shes an awesome Physical Therapist for pelvic floor and post baby body function!Marci is one of the most kind and knowledgeable people I’ve ever met. After following her guidance for a few weeks, my leaking stopped! She helped me move on to other exercises to help my back and continue to redevelop my core. And the best part is that since she knows what it’s like to be a mom, she designed my exercises to be able to be incorporated throughout my day, chasing after my kids and their toys. Lol. I feel like she’s training me to be a super mom!! Thanks Marci!!

I went to Marci feeling uncertain how to proceed back into physical fitness after 2 C-sections. With two small children my usual routines were out of the question and I really wanted to do the exercises that would count, but I didnt really know what those were. Marci has walked me through finding greater strength, comfort and awareness. I now feel more comfortable exercising, knowing my bodies strengths and weaknesses and I have a concrete workout tailored to my body that I can do mostly while watching children and throughout the day. Thank goodness for Marci! I highly recommend her.

Marci is a truly gifted physical therapist. I went to her for rehabilitation after a major surgery, and after every visit my pain has decreased and my function has increased. Before seeing Marci I saw other physical therapists in the Marin health system who were in network for my insurance, and I had little to no improvement from working with them. She has truly helped me reclaim my body and my life! I feel so fortunate to have found her. She is also a really joyful, wonderful person to be around. Five stars is not enough!

Postpartum pelvic floor issues took me by surprise. I had been suffering from multiple challenges for months before I started working with Marci. She took what was a scary, delicate and painful experience and made it manageable. I’m now pain free!When we started she asked me for my ideal goals after 8 sessions. I gave her several and left thinking, “yea right. That’s impossible.” Lo and behold, here i am after 8 sessions and all of my goals have been met. I couldn’t be more grateful.Marci is clear, encouraging and gentle. Pelvic Floor issues require touch and care to delicate parts, but Marci made me feel comfortable so it wasn’t a big deal. I’ll recommend her to any postpartum woman. No one should have to suffer unnecessarily after the hard work of pregnancy, childbirth and caring for their baby.Thank you, again, Marci!

I suffered from inconsistent (and at times searing) pubic symphysis pain and emerging urinary incontinence, so I decided to seek professional help from Marci. After eight sessions, my transformation has been remarkable. Marci determined reasons that exacerbate the pubic symphysis pain (poor posture during activities, incorrect weightbearing positioning during activities, walking too heavily and quickly especially going up and down stairs), and taught me correct and effective methods. She also discovered reasons for my incontinence (tight muscles around the bladder, weak muscles supporting the pelvic floor) and worked during every session to both release and strengthen those muscles. She gave me home exercise programs after each session to complete on my own time. Marci is a patient, educated, efficient, and methodical physical therapist. She has a new space in San Rafael with plenty of parking. Her office is clean, airy, well-stocked with necessary therapy tools, and offers privacy given the nature of her profession. Women and men both can be affected by pelvic floor issues, and both can absolutely feel safe and heard in Marci’s care. I have already recommended her to my friends and highly recommend her to anyone reading this review.

I highly recommend Marci. She is a responsive, knowledgeable, reliable, and a caring provider whose specialty is pelvic floor. I had 4 visits with her - 2 in my third trimester and 2 postpartum, - and she helped a great deal to alleviate some of the tight back symptoms during pregnancy as well as to start getting back to pre-pregnancy exercise after birth. Marci also offers occasional free classes - look them up, very helpful to learn how to adjust posture and exercise for better labor and postpartum recovery. Marci is filling the gap that your standard OB care creates making health care for expectant mothers more comprehensive vs. just weight/blood pressure, etc. standard template OB checks. Thank you, Marci!

Marci and Natalie are truly wise, skilled, and dedicated to the profession. I have come in multiple times (bought an awesome package!) with issues ranging from drop foot to pelvic rotations and mid-back tension to chronic hip pain and each time they have come up with solutions both in the session and for take-home work. I highly recommend! The package is awesome too because it comes with a lot of perks and helps to stay on a consistent regiment.

I am a big fan of physical therapy for all birthing persons before and after. I am a physical therapist who graduated in 2000 from my program but the area of pelvic therapy/womens health has drastically changed and improved since I was in school. Marci is dedicated and very knowledgeable about how to help women heal their bodies following the events of carrying, labor/birth and postpartum. You will not regret hiring her to help you achieve your pre/postpartum goals. Im still working on my goals but so thankful to have Marci help me navigate this postpartum journey.Mom of 3. First time taking advantage of PT postpartum.

I would highly recommend Marcis services! Postpartum PT is such an intimate, hard to understand thing and she always made me feel so at ease. She also gave me a number of exercises to help prepare me to get back into running. I learned so much in our sessions -- everything from posture to running technique to water drinking habits -- and will continue to incorporate her advice daily. Thank you!

Marci is fantastic and I would definitely recommend her prenatal and postpartum services. The work she is doing is extremely important and she is very knowledgeable. She helped me learn how to be better in tune with my body and gave me exercises to strengthen and heal my entire body, not just my core. She is truly passionate about sharing her knowledge in this area and it shows in her work!

Marci supports women to help them feel strong and confident in their bodies. She is incredibly gifted at assessing the root cause of pain and disfunction in the body. She applies a wholistic approach by partnering with other professionals to help her patients get the complete care they need.

Marci is a miracle worker! After I had my daughter, I struggled with leakage. Marci gave me some exercises to strengthen my pelvic floor and I noticed a huge improvement! She also gave me great feedback about my pelvic floor muscles and I feel like I have a better understanding of my body and how to strengthen it.

Marci is a wonderful, talented physical therapist. She is very knowledgeable and experienced, and terrific at explaining concepts. She can treat a wide variety of issues - when I went in we covered postural work, c-section scar massage, and even a guided meditation during our treatment. I cant recommend her enough!

Had the pleasure of seeing Marci for pelvic floor therapy after the birth of my first child. Wonderful person to work with. Professional, caring, informative and overall well-rounded care. She does way more than pelvic work too. Definitely recommend her to other moms or anyone who can use some PT

I was having a lot of issues with muscle tightness which prevented me from working out properly. I always felt stuck when I went to workout, I was always in pain and did not understand why. After having a few sessions with Marci, I was able to find out that I had a lot of muscle tensions which were causing a lot of pain. She showed me a lot of amazing stretches I could do and muscle massages that really helped me. I am so grateful to her because now I have more awareness and know what to do. I am so happy that my friend referred me to Marci. Marci is awesome I really recommend you seak her help if you are having the same issues as me.

I was recommended to Marci by my midwife. After 2 vaginal deliveries I was feeling that my pelvic floor needed some attention. Marci had an approach that I loved. She carefully listened my story and tried to get the most that she could about my needs and how my life was. She then made a plan specifically for my needs. Interesting is that in every single session she would start with a chat to know how I was doing, how my pelvic floor was doing and she would adjust any therapy again to my current need. Amazing is that she doesn`t only treat for the pelvic floor, so to speak. She actually treats the whole body and the mind. She also gave me so many moves to be doing therapy on my own at home, with my kids, with my current life. Being post partum, mother of 2, and working, I felt fortunate to be able to see Marci. It was more than just a pelvic floor physiotherapy, it was a time to look after myself.

I am very impressed with Marcies knowledge and her followup. When I was reaching out for PT help Marcie was the only one who responded to me! It was also great not to have to worry about remembering my therapy exercises by having to take notes during the therapy sessions. So it is really nice to have the notes later so one can focus on the therapy lessons and have these notes sent by Marcie shortly after our sessions to then practice on ones own by having her outstanding follow up notes. Plus all our time was spent on working out. I highly recommend Marcie. She also leaves time in the beginning and end of each session to check in with you to see how you benefited from her exercises, any questions you may still have, and find out what worked best, and then find out about other issues one is having that need to be to addressed. At the end of each season she reviews what we have done and then checks in to see if your needs were met and then, what is needed for the next session. She is a companionate and outstanding therapist with great communication skills!

I cant begin to count the number of times that I felt as though Im just not getting it when trying to engage my pelvic floor during a yoga practice or workout. And it wasnt until meeting Marci that I found someone who could help me to finally connect with my core. I attended one of Marcis Bellies, Birth and Your Beautiful Body workshops and walked away with a much greater awareness of my body and appreciation for the need to address issues common during pregnancy and in the postpartum phase. I remember thinking: how is it possible that no one ever told me these things about my body (being that I was already in my late 30s and about to be a mother of two). Marci is a caring, intelligent and passionate practitioner who truly cares about womens health. She works not only to address your most immediate needs but encourages you to set goals and gives you the skills youll need to get there. Im confident that by working with Marci, I will not only be able to heal my body from two pregnancies but also begin to discover new potential in my physical body. And shes made me feel cared for and comfortable throughout every step of the process. I highly recommend Marci to other mamas out there in need of physical therapy - your body deserves the best!

I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t met Marci. I came to her in actual tears and from the moment she picked up the phone she offered relief. At the time I was almost 7 months pregnant in my 3rd pregnancy. I was experiencing such intense pelvis bone and pelvic floor pain that I sometimes could not walk, each step feeling like my tailbone was being broken over and over again. When I voiced my discomfort and desire for a solution to drs, nurses, friends, insurance reps, I was met with the same answer: “well, thats pregnancy for you” or “just rest, you only have a fee months left.” Not Marci. In our first conversation she told me first, that she was sorry that I’d been met with these response’s, and second she thought she could help me. Within 1 session I felt such emotional and physical relief. Marci listened, assessed and created a personalized plan for the remainder of my pregnancy and shortly after. The other healthcare professionals weren’t concerned about prevention of damage or my comfort and told me we could work in repair after the baby was here. Im currently in my 9th month of pregnancy and able to be active. On days when I do have pain I have tools, stretches, exercises, etc to create comfort. I’m so incredibly grateful to have found Marci and hope all pregnant women find her as well!

Marci was so helpful during my pregnancy. I came in with groin and hip pain and she assessed my movement and alignment, then gave me some really helpful tips and exercises to help ease my pain. She was very attentive and understanding, and really helped me figure out what was going on with my body and how to fix it. Plus, she gave me some really helpful tips for childbirth, which was so helpful. I’d highly recommend her!

I heard Marci speak about bladder issues to a group of professionals that serve seniors. Her talk was excellent, and I could tell that everyone was on the edge of their seat with curiosity and interest. She really knows her stuff and communicates it so well. My HUGE take away, is by using her helpful instructions, relaxation techniques, I no longer need to get up in the middle of the night. I am so grateful. Thank you, Marci

If you are struggling please without hesitation go see Marci. She has helped me so much. Not only did she help me with pelvic floor physical therapy she also helped find doctors that could help in other areas that I needed. She doesnt just care about physical therapy she cares about you getting the help you need. Ive never had anyone like her on my health journey team and Im so happy I have her now.

We needed immediate PT for our injured daughter who was to perform at the Marin Center just two days later. Marci accommodated us and treated our daughter so that she didnt have to miss rehearsals. Its rare these days to see that kind of desire to help. Our daughter performed beautifully and without pain during her show. Thank you, Marci!

Some of the most helpful advice and therapy I have ever received for my body! Not only is her treatment pragmatic and structured in terms of addressing what the referral is for, but she also had a very natural way of just following what my body needed on a given day, addressing a plethora of other issues as they arose. Also just a delightful person to work with!

My experience with Marcis physical therapy practice has been nothing short of exceptional. After 1.5 years of feeling like I was just going through the motions with another PT, Marci offered a breath of fresh air. Her approach is truly holistic. She takes the time to explain the root causes of my problem and how everything connects within my body. This comprehensive understanding has been incredibly valuable in my healing journey.But Marcis care extends far beyond her expertise. Shes incredibly flexible and accommodating. When I came to my initial appointment with my newborn because I had no childcare, Marci didnt hesitate to hold him while we discussed my condition. She even honored sessions Id purchased long ago that I hadnt been able to use – a testament to her genuine care for her patients.Marcis dedication has built such trust that I would confidently recommend her to anyone seeking a PT. She goes above and beyond, making you feel truly supported and empowered in your healing journey. In fact, Id consider coming to her for regular check-ins even if I didnt have a specific PT need.

After visiting other physical therapists, it was only Dr. Caitlin who communicated so effectively as to what my issues were and how to address them.I strongly recommend this highly trained and sensitive therapist to all.
