“My OBGYN provider recommended Dr. Vanstraten. I contacted her and she immediately worked me into her busy schedule.”
Just you and your pelvic floor therapist:
At Sprout Pelvic Health, I provide personalized one-hour pelvic floor therapy sessions. My one-on-one approach tailors treatment plans to your individualized needs, emphasizing the importance of pelvic health.
Pelvic floor therapy should be provided with a trauma-informed approach:
I create a safe space to foster healing and empowerment through active listening and sensitivity. Recognizing the mind-body connection is crucial for holistic healing. Overall, this approach improves the therapeutic experience by addressing both physical and emotional healing, enhancing quality of life.
“Dr. Vanstraten is incredible, as someone who suffered horrible medical trauma, I avoid Drs at all cost but she has given me hope. I recommend her to anyone needing help with pain, she is a wonderful Dr. I wish all Drs were like her! ”
You are in control of your plan of care:
You help guide your pelvic floor therapy at Sprout Pelvic Health. As your therapist, I provide support, care, education, and training. Together, we will create a treatment plan tailored to your needs, empowering you on your healing journey. Your involvement is essential to reaching your goals, and I am here to assist you.
“Dr. Vanstraten takes a holistic health approach to patient care. She is solution focused, but also assists with symptom management in the short term. To me, she believes in a partnership with her patients. She knows patients have to do the work, and she provides the knowledge and the tools to get better. ”
I believe in a total-body approach to pelvic floor physical therapy:
I believe that when performing evaluations and treatments, the state of a patient’s whole body should be taken into consideration. Often, the cause of pelvic floor dysfunction is linked to impairments in other areas of the body. For instance, a patient experiencing pelvic pain may also have issues related to their shoulder positioning; addressing posture can be a significant part of the care plan. Furthermore, I offer personalized treatments tailored to the individual findings during your evaluation. At Sprout Pelvic Health, you can expect a comprehensive approach rather than a generic recommendation, ensuring that your specific needs are met without simply suggesting kegels.
“I have had back and hip pain for more than a decade and leakage even before giving birth. I didn’t know what to expect when I first started seeing Dr. Vanstraten, but to have little to no pain most days and no more leakage has been truly life-changing... I have had many negative experiences in the past that have made me hesitant to expect a lot out of doctors (especially anything female health oriented). I am forever grateful that I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Dr. Vanstraten! 10/10 recommend!! ”
You deserve the best treatment:
I am devoted solely to pelvic health, ensuring that you receive care from a specialist who has made this their primary focus. Unlike many practitioners who may only marginally engage with pelvic health or have limited training, I bring extensive knowledge and experience to each patient interaction. When you choose Sprout Pelvic Health, you can be confident that you are working with a professional who is dedicated exclusively to addressing pelvic floor issues, ensuring you receive the highest quality care available.
“...Dr. Vanstraten wants to know about any pain, which she works to relieve in the short term and correct in the long term. Her adjustments, mobilizations, and activations all work together to correct foundational issues. As she’s working to help you reach your goals, she’s putting the puzzle pieces on your particular case together. I only wish I had come to Dr. Vanstraten sooner. I didn’t book an appointment until I was having postpartum symptoms that were affecting my quality of life. ”
I don’t chase symptoms:
Treating symptoms only provides temporary relief. To achieve lasting relief and wellness, it's important to understand the root causes of your issues. At Sprout Pelvic Health, I follow 4 Treatment Phases that target the underlying problems instead of simply easing symptoms.
Assessment: I start with a thorough evaluation to understand your situation and identify factors contributing to your symptoms.
Education: It's essential to understand your condition. I will explain what is happening in your body and why, empowering you to make informed choices about your care.
Intervention: Based on the assessment and education, I create personalized treatment plans that focus on addressing the root causes of your symptoms.
Maintenance: After achieving relief, I help you maintain your progress with ongoing support and strategies to prevent symptoms from returning.
By following these phases, you won't just manage your symptoms; you'll move towards lasting health and a better quality of life.
“Dr. Vanstraten played a pivotal role in alleviating my lower back, hip, and shoulder pain. Not only did she deliver excellent therapy, but she also empowered me with techniques to manage my symptoms at home. Her kindness and extensive knowledge were evident throughout our interactions, reflecting her genuine dedication to both her patients and her profession.”
