I had a patient say, “I went elsewhere for my PT and it was good, but I was with a bunch of other people doing my exercises. I pay more to come here, but I like having one-on-one instruction on how to do it.”

Other similar stories:
“I was treated for many weeks and only given exercises for my pelvic pain. No internal exam or hands-on treatment.”

“My insurance didn’t cover the PT and I have bills in the thousands.”

There IS a difference in the PT we are able to provide. I’m Dr Gretchen Brooker, owner and pelvic floor PT and I worked at an insurance based practice for several years before opening Break Free. I gave the best care I could, but there is a horrible thing destroying PT - insurance. Insurance companies pay PT’s pennies compared to what they should, which is forcing many to cut visits short and see many patients at one time just to be profitable.

Many PTs are sick & tired and leaving the insurance world to operate in what we call “cash based”. You can absolutely utilize your insurance through a superbill and potentially receive money back from them - removing the provider as the “middle man.”

We provide “cash based” care to give you:
➡️ Minimum ONE hour appointments
➡️ Unlimited visits (no pressure to “discharge” before you are actually ready… newsflash it takes weeks/months for muscles to recover and gain strength!! Insurance companies are out here approving 3-5 visits MAX 👏🏻 even if you’ve met your deductible 👏🏻)
➡️ Price Transparency (same price each session no matter what was done)
➡️ HANDS-ON. We have the time. No exercise only here. A beautiful combination of manual therapy and effective, hands-on guided exercise prescription.

Come see us at now TWO locations:
Johns Island & West Ashley!

What we’ve been treating these days! ⬆️

Women, men and children. All ages.

So many people do not know the depths of diagnoses and symptoms we can help with. The pelvis is just the center of the body - it is impacted by joints and muscles above and below, inside and outside.

And the muscles on the inside control the functions of the bladder, bowel and sexual function. The nerves of our lower spine also control our bladder, bowels and ge****ls.

We can help in so many ways. No need to suffer in silence! Nothing is TMI here. If you are struggling, give us a call and we’d love to discuss what’s going on and how we can help.

Exciting announcement #2 ‼️

Our dream team has finally come together. The success of Break Free Pelvic Health & Wellness (thanks to all of our patients, colleagues and friends 🫶🏻) has brought us to the point of having a fabulous admin team who is here to make our patient experiences top notch.

Natalie is the sweet, welcoming voice you hear when you call our office. She instantly brings a calming presence and makes it so easy to talk about pelvic floor dysfunction when you call for the first time.

Claire is our newest member and our official practice manager! She shares so much passion for women with pelvic floor dysfunction and is ready to take Break Free to the next level of helping as many as we can find relief.

These two women are the new backbone to Break Free and every change moving forward is due to the work of these two joining our mission of providing excellence in pelvic floor rehab 🙏🏻

More to come!

Upcoming! ➡️

Come see us in action at .charleston on Monday evening! We will be talking all things pelvic health PLUS hands on abdominal screens - even if you haven’t been pregnant or had a baby - you can learn how to correctly engage the “core” (which includes pelvic floor!) to completely change the game with your workouts.

And then Sunday, August 10th we will be at for a special post-workout workshop for our expecting and postpartum women!

Being able to educate our community is a huge driver and motivator for us and we’d love to continue these events! If you’d like us to come to you, let us know 💕

Otherwise, stay posted and follow for our fall events and workshops!

Exciting Announcement #1 ‼️

Meet Dr. Meagan, our New Pelvic Health PT!

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Meagan, DPT to the team at Break Free Pelvic Health. She brings an incredible passion for pelvic health that began during a heated discussion about urinary leakage during weightlifting (we LOVE this topic, btw!). In addition, she brings expertise and pelvic health education for individuals living with neurological conditions – a population often overlooked when it comes to bladder, bowel and sexual health. By bridging the gap between neurology and pelvic health, she desires to empower patients with knowledge and tools to improve their quality of life.
Meagan also cares deeply about men’s pelvic health and is on a mission to break the stigma surrounding these conversations. With experience from a dedicated pelvic floor clinical rotation working with post-prostatectomy patients, and finalizing advanced clinical training, she’s ready to make a big impact in our community.

Fun Facts: Meagan is a born and raised Charleston native (hard to find!) and new to puppy parenting of a 12-week-old Maltipoo, Oakley!

You will see Dr. Meagan in our office next week if you haven’t had a chance to meet her yet. She is gearing up to take new patients and cannot wait to help so many men and women in the Charleston area 💕

Cleaning the office, I found all my scribbles of drawings of the bladder, the urethra, the pelvic floor, the re**um, the a**l sphincter, the colon, the nervous system - all the things. We truly believe that education is our best asset. So many times patients come to us and have never had anyone actually explain how the bladder works, how the colon and re**um works, how the nervous system works, how the pelvic floor functions in response to the bladder, bowel and nervous system.

One time, I had a patient diagnosed with overactive bladder because she was peeing constantly after trying to increase her water intake. The urologist put her on an expensive medication for overactive bladder, but it was less expensive to come see us. She didn’t have overactive bladder, she just didn’t understand how her bladder worked and how to plan to increase her fluids and bladder capacity. A visit of education was all she needed 🙌🏻

If you are struggling to understand the WHY to your bladder, bowel, pain and pelvic floor symptoms - give us a call and have an evaluation with us. You will have a much better understanding of what’s going on and HOW to fix it effectively and efficiently 👏🏻
