For the woman who knows her body, & wants answers that match.
Pelvic and orthopedic physical therapy with Dr. Kim Dixon. Personalized, evidence-based, and built for the seasons that change everything.
Pelvic health. Orthopedic insight.
Care that sees the whole picture.
You’ve done your research. You’ve tried the stretching, the Kegels, the PT that didn’t look past your symptoms. You’re tired of being told “you’re fine” when your body says otherwise.
At Pearl Physical Therapy, I treat the whole you—not just your pelvic floor or a single pain point. Whether you're newly postpartum, navigating perimenopause, or years into unexplained symptoms, our work starts with listening and leads to real relief.
That’s why I offer concierge-style care that meets you where you are—from in-person sessions to virtual support, menopause coaching, and collaborative care through every stage of life.
Care that meets you where you are, and grows with you
Whether you're preparing for birth, navigating postpartum recovery, or moving through the shifts of midlife, I offer specialized care designed to support your body and your goals at every stage.
pregnancy
Pregnancy brings incredible change and often some unexpected discomfort. Whether you're dealing with pain, pressure, or want to prepare for birth and recovery, I’ll help you stay strong and supported every step of the way.
postpartum
Healing after birth looks different for everyone. I provide support beyond "just cleared at six weeks". I look at your core, pelvic floor, and daily function so you can return to movement, intimacy, and your life with confidence and clarity.
PERIMENOPAUSE & MENOPAUSE
Hormonal changes affect more than most people realize. From leaking to pelvic heaviness, from pain with sex to changes in mobility, I help you move through this season with strength, balance, and a better understanding of your body.
complex issues
If you’ve tried physical therapy before but still feel stuck, you're not alone. I specialize in treating low back, hip, and pelvic symptoms that haven’t responded to standard care. This includes working with both men and women who need a more complete, whole-body approach.
athlete recovery
Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a former pro, I help active adults recover from injury, rebuild strength, and move with confidence again. My background in orthopedics and sports medicine means we go beyond basic rehab to support your movement and training goals.
Specific Techniques to Support Recovery
I draw from a wide range of evidence-based approaches to support healing, restore strength, and help you feel your best.
- Manual Therapy
- Dry Needling
- Cupping
- Biofeedback
- Electrical Stimulation
- Shockwave Therapy
