Dr. Shepherd will help to improve your pelvic floor dysfunction with education of proper bladder and bowel management, educate you in how to either strengthen or relax the pelvic floor muscles, educate you in behavior modifications as needed, provide manual therapy interventions and modalities as needed.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Wade H.​

“My name is Wade. I’ve been experiencing back pain for 14 years or so. I started seeing Selinda Shepherd at PT Works about 3 months ago. First, let me say, I’ve tried just about everything under the sun, from surgery, traditional meds, natural supplements, PT at various places, chiropractors, spinal cord stimulator implants, injections, even acupuncture. But none of them came close to the positive results I’ve received from Selinda Shepherd at PT Works. She is so knowledgeable and focused on getting results. She is so attentive, very professional, and gives me the personalized attention that's needed. She listens intently and she knows how to explain what your issues may be in a way that you can understand. I would recommend anyone who is experiencing muscular, skeletal pain and more to visit PT Works. The facility is clean and spacious. This company was well NAMED, because it does work !! “​

“Dr. Shepherd is knowledgeable and attentive. Flexible appointments and great care. “

Anthony R.

“I went to PT Works for a hamstring strain and have nothing but positive feedback to give. Great knowledge overall, perfect diagnosis and most importantly, excellent results. After only a week, my hamstring is in much better shape. As a former college athlete who has been through PT many times before, this is one of the best experiences I have had. Friendly staff, flexible scheduling.”

Jethro H.

“From the moment I called Selinda at PT WORKS I felt well cared for. I had been diagnosed with a hip issue that forced me to stop playing soccer and exercising, and it had gotten so bad that I couldn’t walk even more than a few blocks or stand for more than a few minutes without being in pain. She provided excellent routines at her welcoming facility and even had a place for me to leave my gear so that I didn’t have to bring it home or to work every time I had an appointment. She also provided me with excellent at home exercises and stretches. I highly recommend PT Works as a resource for your physical therapy needs.”
