Your Therapist

Dr. Onita Turner, DPT, PT

Hi! My name is Onita Turner and I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and I specialize in Pelvic Health.

After more than a decade of working in physical therapy, I've come to find and be fascinated by the connections that run through the body. I strive to look at the individual as a whole versus focusing on a small part of the body. This may entail discussing your nutritional health, your self care strategies, your support system and personal goals.

I've been a Physical Therapist for 14 years and 12 of those years have been in Pelvic Health. I grew up with an admiration for the healers throughout the world.... the Medicine Men/Women, the Ayurveda doctors, the Shamans, the Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors, the village healers. I was always fascinated at what they can do and how they can change people. Now, through evidence based practice and various forms of manual therapy, and techniques, and years of practice, I am so happy to be able to use my hands and help people feel better.

When I am not working, I am a cook, chauffeur, planner, etc for my 9 and 5 year old's antics. My life is their activities which currently includes ice, Cub Scouts, Ballet, and enjoying our pups Rani and Clyde.

Pelvic Health

Women will often wonder if their symptom's are "normal," as they are often misunderstood or dismissed. While sometimes common, these symptoms are NOT normal and can be addressed and managed. Conditions that we can address include:

Bladder leakage
Prolapse
Constipation
Pain with sex
Painful pelvic floor conditions (vulvodynia, pudendal neuralgia, painful bladder, etc)

Pelvic Health conditions are many. Please know that help is available. If you have questions if PT is appropriate for you, contact me and let's chat.

Perinatal Health

Pregnancy is an amazing and beautiful time that can also include multiple worries, questions, anxiety, and discomfort. Specialized Pelvic Health Physical Therapy during this time can address fitness activities during pregnancy, and pain issues that can arise during any time of pregnancy (Sacroiliac joint pain, round ligament pain, low back pain).

Post PartumCare

Life after pregnancy can be difficult to navigate. Post-Partum assessment can include checking for and addressing a diastasis, incontinence, pelvic pain, self care and exercise. We have amazing resources in our community and we can make sure that we are empowering YOU with your wellness during this time.
