Katie is absolutely fantastic! Her expertise, attentiveness, and support are outstanding. Not only does she provide a welcoming and cozy atmosphere, but her methods for treating pelvic floor issues are genuinely effective. I wholeheartedly endorse Katie Castillo Physical Therapy for anyone seeking pelvic floor rehabilitation.

I would be totally remiss if I didn’t drop you a quick message and say….. thank you so much for helping me get through this ordeal !!
I can honestly say that you were amazing and such a professional yet you have an uncanny ability to know when I had something left in the tank and when I was spent.
You are unbelievable.

I took a fantastic and informative birth prep class from Katie that really set me up for success in the 3rd trimester, birth, and postpartum. She explained everything clearly and not only demonstrated but walked me through any movements to ensure correct form. Her 'bedside manner' was extremely comfortable and I felt at ease asking any questions. Highly recommend!

Katie was prompt, personable and very thorough. She communicated very clearly and asked questions to really hone it on what exercises would address my issues. I look forward to seeing her for follow-ups!

"I have been working with Dr. Katie Castillo as I prepare to give birth to my 2nd baby. She is so patient and caring. She made a point of getting to know me as a patient. I had never heard of pelvic floor therapy until my provider recommended it. Honestly I was quite intimidated at first. However, Katie's personality made me so comfortable. My only regret is I didn't do this with my 1st pregnancy. It would have saved me from a lot of pain and other issues in postpartum. I can't recommend Dr. Katie enough!"
