Lymphatic and Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

About Dr. Samantha Chilson, PT, DPT, PCES

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

Hi, I’m a pelvic floor physical therapist with a passion for helping women feel strong and confident in their bodies through every phase of life.

I discovered this path during graduate school when I learned that something as common as menstrual cramps could be tied to pelvic floor and abdominal muscle dysfunction. Since then, I’ve dedicated my career to understanding how the body works as a whole, not just in isolated systems.

I work with women experiencing everything from bladder leakage, prolapse discomfort, constipation, and chronic pelvic pain. What sets my approach apart is that I don’t just focus on symptoms. I take a full-body perspective to create long-lasting change. Your posture, breathing, core strength, and daily habits all matter, and I help you piece it all together.

After having my own child via cesarean, I personally experienced how tough recovery can be. I struggled with troublesome scar tissue and rebuilding core strength. That journey deepened both my empathy and my clinical insight. Healing is not always linear, and I’m right there with you every step of the way.

In my practice, honesty, integrity, and a safe relaxing environment are at the core of every session. I know pelvic health isn’t always easy to talk about. There are a lot of myths (no, it’s not all kegels and internal exams!), and even more stigma. My goal is to make you feel safe, heard, and empowered to take back control of your health.

Outside of the clinic, you’ll find me reading, boating, and soaking up the sunshine whenever I can. I’m also working on expanding resources for women’s health to break down the gatekeeping and create more access to real, helpful information.

If you’re ready to have open, honest conversations about pelvic health and start feeling better in your body. I’m here for you.

Making Quality Care Accessible for Women

My mission is to create a space where busy, dedicated women can finally receive the high-quality pelvic floor care they deserve.

I offer weekend appointments to serve the mom who can’t find childcare during the week, the ambitious woman who can’t take time off work, and the multitasking caregiver who’s juggling far too much to even list. These women are often overlooked by our current healthcare system, and too often, they’re left struggling with unresolved pelvic floor dysfunction due to inconsistent or inaccessible care.

I’m here to change that.

Through flexible scheduling, modern technology, and ongoing support, I’ve designed a model of care that works for you. That means:

  • Weekend hours for your convenience

  • Direct communication with your provider between sessions

  • Real-time updates to your home exercise plan through a secure, easy-to-use system

  • Virtual follow-up options to best fit your schedule

This approach increases access, consistency, and support, putting expert care right in your back pocket.

If you’re ready for care that fits into your life, not the other way around, message me today to learn how my unique services can support your healing journey.
