ALL ABOUT ASHLEE GENDRON, DPT

I graduated from Western University of Health Sciences with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2011.

I began my career in outpatient Orthopedics, where I worked with a huge variety of patients. After
I had my first child in 2015, I had the most difficult time accepting my new body. My biggest issue was urinary incontinence. I couldn't make any hard impact movements (running, jumping, squatting, sneezing, coughing) without leaking heavily! My Obgyn told me to "just do kegels" and it was "normal" after child birth. So, I continued on with life with no improvements with a side of postpartum depression. I couldn't even chase my 15 month old when he darted out into the street. I had my second child in 2017 and was worse than where I had started. At this time, pelvic health Physical Therapy was becoming more recognized, but I still didn't know how to locate anyone locally that could examine me and help me start to rehabilitate. I had taken my first pelvic health course back in 2013. This was before children, so I didn't realize the importance and the struggles that women go through after child birth.

The lack of resources for women postpartum and entering perimenopause fueled my desire to advocate and provide hope, compassion, and accessible care. I continued my pelvic health speciality and dove head first into courses, podcasts, journal articles, and books to provide the best evidence based care to my clients.

Why are we different?

We combine Women's health and Orthopedics, and look at the body as a whole. We are postpartum corrective exercise specialists, and can offer a very personalized home exercise program to facilitate your healing process. Internal and external pelvic floor work can be performed in order to address each patient's individual needs. So, you are getting the best of both worlds. Everything needs to be working in harmony.

Being an out of network provider also allows my services not to be dictated by insurance. Which means, longer treatment sessions, one on one care with a doctor of Physical Therapy, and better quality of care.
