Vista, Carlsbad, Rancho Bernardo & North County
Postpartum and Pelvic Floor Therapy
Care That's Built Around You
If you're leaking when you sneeze, struggling to get back to running after baby, or dealing with pain you've been told is just normal — you're in the right place. I'm Dr. Ashlee Gendron, and I bring one-on-one pelvic floor therapy directly to you across North County San Diego.
Why I Started Doing Pelvic Floor Therapy in San Diego
After my first baby was born in 2015, I couldn't run, jump, or even sneeze without leaking. My OB told me to "just do kegels." That advice didn't work. I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and even I had trouble finding someone locally who could actually help me.
That experience changed everything for me. I saw how many women in San Diego — in Vista, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Rancho Bernardo — were going through the same thing and being told it was just "normal after kids." It's common, but it's not something you have to live with.
Now I run a boutique concierge practice across North County San Diego. I come to your home, I see you at my clinic in Rancho Bernardo, or we meet over video. Every session is one-on-one, 60 to 90 minutes, just you and me. No rushing, no rotating between patients.
My Approach
I look at your whole body, not just your pelvic floor. Strengthening the pelvic floor is not "just do kegels." Everything needs to work together — your core, your hips, your breathing, your pelvic floor. That's how real healing happens.
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
A lot of women in San Diego don't even know pelvic floor physical therapy exists. They think leaking, pain, or pressure down there is just something they have to accept. It's not.
Pelvic floor therapy works on the muscles that support your bladder, uterus, and bowel. Sometimes those muscles are too weak. Sometimes they're too tight. Sometimes it's both. I do a full assessment — internal and external — to figure out exactly what's going on with you. Then we build a plan around your body and your goals.
Whether you're dealing with leaking, pelvic pressure, pain during sex, or you just feel like something isn't right — pelvic floor therapy can help. As a concierge practice, I treat patients from Vista, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, Escondido, San Marcos, and throughout the Rancho Bernardo area — at your home, my clinic, or over video.

What Women in San Diego Are Saying
- Torrie, Oceanside"I was 8.5 months pregnant and struggling with a lower back injury when I started working with Ashlee. Her warmth, professionalism, and expertise were evident from our first meeting. She not only helped me heal my injury, but also took the time to educate me on how to strengthen my pelvic floor in preparation for child birth. As a first time mother-to-be, Ashlee shared so much information about childbirth, postpartum healing, and even parenting tips. What sets Ashlee apart is the level of care and attention she gives to her patients."
- Emily, Fallbrook"Ashlee is a life saver! About a year after my son was born I started experiencing unexplained pain near my c-section scar. Doctors couldn't give me answers. A trusted friend recommended Ashlee and I am so glad she did! Ashlee is professional, knowledgeable, and SO kind. She listened to my concerns, did her own research, and checked in between sessions. I am so grateful and will recommend her to all my postpartum friends and family!"

Questions People Ask About Pelvic Floor Therapy
Do I need a referral for pelvic floor therapy in San Diego?
No, you do not need an immediate referral in the state of California.
What happens at the first pelvic floor therapy appointment?
Your first visit is 90 minutes. We talk about your history, your symptoms, and your goals. Then I do a full assessment — which can include an internal and external exam of your pelvic floor muscles, but only with your consent and at your comfort level. You leave with a personalized exercise plan and a clear picture of what's going on.
How soon will I see results from pelvic floor therapy?
Most women start noticing changes within a few weeks. Some feel better after the first session. It depends on what we're treating, but I'll give you honest expectations from the start.
Do you take insurance?
I'm an out-of-network provider. That means insurance doesn't dictate your care. You get longer sessions, one-on-one attention, and a treatment plan built around you — not around billing codes. I can provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.
When should I start postpartum physical therapy?
You can start as early as 6 weeks postpartum, or later — there's no expiration date. I see women who are 3 months, 1 year, or 10 years postpartum. If something doesn't feel right, it's worth getting checked out.
Can you help with pain during sex?
Yes. Pain during sex is one of the most common reasons women seek pelvic floor therapy. It's often caused by tight pelvic floor muscles, scar tissue, or hormonal changes. It's treatable, and you don't have to just live with it.
Where are you located?
I see patients at San Diego County Midwives HQ (16885 Via Del Campo Ct, Suite 110, San Diego, CA 92127) on Wednesdays and Fridays. I also offer concierge home visits throughout San Diego and North County, as well as virtual video consultations.
