Cornerstone Pelvic Health & Wellness, PLLC

10/21/2025

Cornerstone Pelvic Health and Wellness is a teenager. 13 years ago I opened the doors at Cornerstone and will always remember and celebrate this day because of the faithfulness of the LORD who has given me endurance, perseverance, and longevity, but I also give thanks for all the patients that I've been able to serve for these 13 years.

12 years ago today, I opened the doors to Cornerstone Pelvic Health and Wellness. From 1795 Alysheba Way in Lexington, to now 1100 Glensboro Road in Lawrenceburg. Faith is what gave me the courage to jump into private practice and start most likely the first PT practice solely devoted to pelvic health in the area. Faith is what has continued to carry me through as well as the blessings of building long lasting relationships with so many of the patients I've been blessed to serve. I recently had updated headshots and the photographer suggested taking a picture of holding out my hands. It seems a little quirky at first, but little did she know that I've prayed Psalm 90:17 most days of my 25 years in practice asking the LORD to establish the work of my hands. Praise be to GOD that he has been faithful to do so. Here's to 12 years and as many more as I am given.

Almost forgot to wear "Ruterus" this year because my brain has been going in ten million directions. But I am grateful that by the grace of God I've had the privilege of helping others through my physical therapy work this year. This year has been personally challenging but I am so thankful when I'm reminded of the difference pelvic floor physical therapy can make in a person's quality of life. Like my patient this week after just 4 visits has met all her goals. It's not always and most of the time not that easy, but sometimes it's just the education and awareness that's needed. Merry Christmas!

And just like that, I've been a private practice, small business owner for 10 years. I opened my business on this day a decade ago on nothing but faith. Being a private practice owner looks "glamorous" but it's anything but and a lot of hard work that most don't see behind the scenes. I honestly wondered if it was time to walk away when I was lying in bed with COVID a few weeks ago, because this past year has been hard due to multiple family tragedies. However I just continue to trust the LORD with "give me this day my daily bread" and He is and has been faithful to provide everything I need.

Such good and succinct info from Dr. Jill Krapf...

Overactive pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) describes pelvic floor muscles that are tight, contracted, and tender. Overactive PFD can lead to vulvodynia (vulvar pain) and can cause bladder symptoms, bowel symptoms, back pain, pain with vaginal insertion, and pain-related anxiety.

Pelvic floor physical therapy is first-line treatment for vulvodynia related to overactive PFD. This therapy includes myofascial release, visceral manipulation, joint and neural mobilization, core stabilization, pelvic floor retraining, biofeedback, and desensitization. Check out some of my favorite pelvic floor PT accounts for more information:

This graphic shows supportive treatment options that can be used WITH pelvic floor physical therapy to enhance treatment and healing.

Vulvar pain specialists and pelvic floor physical therapists work TOGETHER to ensure the correct diagnosis, address all components of vulvodynia, and provide the best combination of treatments for each individual.

I spent the weekend in Atlanta soaking up all the amazing speakers with one of my favorite pelvic health PTs, Heather Marra from , One Simple Step Today. It was an amazing weekend!

One of the benefits of pelvic floor PT that patients often experience...getting up less often or not at all to use the bathroom during the night!

Even many doctors don’t realize that this can be a problem for younger as well as older patients, experts say.
