Erica and the education she gave me on training my pelvic floor was a huge key to my success during my labor and delivery. I was able to have my baby with the most minimal trauma to my body thanks to the principles Erica teaches you. Plus, during my pregnancy she was able to use massage, cupping, and more to help with the typical aches and pains. If you are pregnant, or struggling with other pelvic dysfunction, she is a resource that is a worthy investment in your health!

"{Trailhead} is absolutely amazing. I really like that she has a full body approach and doesn’t just focus on one area of your body. She provided me with the first actual pain relief I’ve experienced for years, and I’ve been too many different professionals over the years. She has been the first person actually give me results and hope for continual pain reduction."

Pessary Fitting

IMG_6005.jpg

At Trailhead, we’re excited to now offer pessary fitting and support as part of our holistic pelvic health services. A pessary is a small, internal medical device that helps support the pelvic organs — often used to relieve symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse, such as heaviness, pressure, or bulging. Pessaries can also help reduce urinary leakage, and even ease related back or bowel symptoms.

If you’ve tried a pessary in the past and aren’t sure it’s the right fit, we can help reassess and find an option that works better for your body. Our fitting process is personalized, comfortable, and collaborative — we’ll work closely with your medical providers to ensure a team-based approach that supports your overall pelvic health and lifestyle goals.

Whether you’re looking to avoid surgery, improve daily comfort, or return to the activities you love with confidence, our team is here to help you find the right fit.
