Our Story
Our care model is different so you can thrive
Barbelle Pelvic Rehab
Founded in 2022
Dr. Loren founded Barbelle Pelvic Rehab for women of Cherokee County when she saw a need to bring modern, quality one on one care in women’s health physical therapy to the community.
Kegels miss the mark for long term results. Our method is designed to look at how your entire body impacts your pelvic floor symptoms and holistically address your root cause.
We know pelvic floor PT, in fact, we spend all day doing it! We are not a “jack of all trade” company. You will be working with someone who understands your issues and has seen others like you. It is our mission to provide our patients with life-changing results so that they can thrive in their lives and in the community like they were meant to.
“Barbelle” is a salute to Dr. Loren’s love of treating female barbell athletes.
