We are excited to welcome Dr. Elony May, PT, DPT, to Mater Pelvic Care. Please read her biography and feel free to share it with friends and family. We are confident that many will benefit from her specialized care here in Northern Kentucky.
“The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the heart of a
mother.” (St. Thérèse of Lisieux)
Around one in three women suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction (PVD) and most of these women suffer in silence. Common symptoms include leaking
urine when coughing or sneezing, the feeling of heaviness or falling out
at the end of the day, an inability to sit for a long time, and pain
with in*******se. These issues can severely impact quality of life,
preventing mothers from properly caring for children, getting back to
exercise, or even leaving the house for extended periods. Although PVD
symptoms are common, they are not normal.
Dr. Elony is a pelvic floor physical therapist whose passion for
treating the pregnant and postpartum population stemmed from her own
pelvic health journey after giving birth to three beautiful children.
Upon graduation, Dr. Elony immediately took extensive continuing
education courses to specialize in pelvic rehabilitation, with
additional coursework in prolapse and bowel management, sexual
dysfunction, functional nutrition, and fertility. She is certified as a
Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (PCES) and
trained in Holistic Treatment of the Pregnancy and Postpartum Body and
as a doula.
Dr. Elony founded Mater Pelvic Care to provide compassionate,
personalized care for women to heal and prevent future problems. She
uses a combination of hands-on therapy, exercises, and education to get
to the root of the problem and create lasting results. Dr. Elony also
hosts quarterly group Pregnancy and Childbirth Preparation Education
classes to help women successfully navigate all stages of their
pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum period. At the core of
her practice is Dr. Elony’s respect for the human body and to facilitate
God’s plan to cultivate future generations.
