Welcome to Lotus Flower Physio

  • Pelvic Health Physical Therapist, Pre & Post Natal Specialist

  • Yoga Instructor

Lotus Flower Physio is here to provide you with the most comprehensive, compassionate and caring pelvic-focused physical therapy care in Bend, Oregon. I offer holistic pelvic health physical therapy, including highly specialized pre and post natal care, private and group yoga instruction, for individuals who want to heal completely, improve their overall health and wellbeing and be able to do all the things they love doing in life.

I believe in your healing journey as a partnership between provider and patient that is built on trust, education and guidance. Your healthcare and healing is not about an unsustainable approach of giving you all the answers or fixing you. Instead, I focus on teaching you the intricacies of your body, how to listen to it more closely and how to care for it appropriately. My pelvic health physical therapy care is so much more than the traditional model of a quick assessment and 3 sets of 10 keagels (pelvic floor contractions). I complete a thorough assessment of all the structures impacting the pelvic region and it’s function and apply decades of education, clinical experience and treatment tools to help discover the why behind your issues, so that you can heal more completely and feel confident caring for your body and pelvic area through all the phases of your life.

At Lotus Flower Physio, I meet you exactly where you are, every session, and help you discover all the healing power you have within. My goal is to help you feel at home in your body again so you can enjoy your life to the fullest.

“Laura was pivotal in my recovery post c-section surgery. She provided so much knowledge, so much guidance, so much grounding. The perfect blend of science and sacred. She was incredible - I didn't want my rehab to end. The space she creates is nothing like any other physical therapy space I have experienced - she's a true gift to our community. if you are having a baby or have had a baby, you should 100% visit her. And if you had a cesarean birth you should 150% work with her to recover quickly and fully.”
