Progress Physical Therapy - Midlothian, An Abdominal and Pelvic Health Center

I started going here for postpartum pelvic floor help. First off, it was very hard to get an appointment at the time I needed it most (early postpartum), so I was placed on a waiting list. Due to this, you don’t really get a choice of a provider. When I finally got in, I was expecting it to be very helpful due to all the great reviews. I thought they did a good assessment based on my first appointment, but I didn’t realize that they are mainly and almost only focusing on my ability to do kegels. They provide and show exercises for you to do at home, but I got tired of the appointments only focusing on kegels. There should be other points of focus during appointments so I decided to stop coming.

The team at Progress PT has been a Godsend, especially Madison and Carter. They helped me through an incredibly painful pregnancy and prepared my body for childbirth. I only had to push through 2 contractions and wholeheartedly attribute that to the exercises and stretches I did in the weeks leading up to delivery. Postpartum they have helped me feel like my body is mine again. I really appreciate that they educate me on why things are happening, where the pain is coming from, and why/how each exercise and stretch will help. On top of being incredibly knowledgeable, everyone is friendly and easygoing. Natalie at the front desk always greets me with a smile. It is evident that everyone really cares about the patients.

I saw Dr. Amanda Watson for pelvic floor concerns after the birth of my daughter and had a wonderful experience. Dr. Watson was both professional and personable; she helped empower me to feel more in control of my health and functioning.

I cannot give enough praise to Lakeisha, the massage therapist. My husband suffered from a trigger point/muscle knots so bad that medication would not relieve. His doctor's were of NO help, so I did my research. His knots were so bad they were spasming and causing pain down his arm! I called so many places trying to find relief for him, the person who answered the phone was SO KIND, nicer than anyone I talked to looking for relief for him and this is a pelvic therapy care place! It can make more than a difference how you treat people and I can't say enough great things about this staff! Lakeisha gave exceptional care with massage, and multiple methods to calm those muscle knots down. I teared up because he FINALLY had relief! Lakeisha is a massage therapist who truly stood out for her professionalism and kindness. Her skilled hands worked wonders! Her expertise not only brought much-needed pain relief but also left us deeply impressed with her caring approach. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly, highly, highly recommended!

Ten years ago, my low back and pelvic floor were so dysfunctional that I was living on the floor for months and couldn't take care of my newborn baby. I had gone through multiple physical therapists (none of whom were successful) before I found Amanda and she discovered the keystone of my problem-- my pelvic floor. To be honest, I would still be on the floor if it weren't for her help. I had already seen surgeons, osteopaths, and other specialists who had no idea how to help me. With a lot of hard work, Amanda and Myra Pumphrey pieced me back together. Being a very hypermobile person, I am quite prone to injury. A few years ago, my uterus prolapsed and Amanda helped me avoid a hysterectomy. My 2 sisters (also hypermobile) have chronic issues, as well, and she helped them navigate their problems, too. I feel so fortunate to have found Amanda and Progress Physical Therapy. Battling chronic hypermobility, especially as I age, is not easy. It's so reassuring to know that I've found a team of experts to help me stay active and out of pain as I get older.

Amazing! If you have EDS, this is the place to go. I drove a long way specifically to see a provider at this clinic because I was having difficulty getting my hypermobility diagnosed and needed specific advice. It was one of the best experiences I've had—they take excellent care of their patients and are extremely knowledgeable. Like most individuals with hypermobility, seeing providers is rarely fruitful and can be a demoralizing experience. I had previously had a horrible experience with a gynecologist and they treated me with care and listened to my story with compassion. I didn't realize it was possible to leave a doctor's office and not be upset. If you're on the fence about it, I urge you to give them a chance, and I would highly recommend.

The staff at Progress were incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and understanding. I went for about 6 months and saw amazing progress with postpartum injuries. We had some setbacks because I overdid it several times & both PTs that I saw were reassuring that it would get better and it did. Prior to starting with Progress, I could not walk for half a mile or more without pain. I couldn’t lift my son from the floor. It was a whole mess of other symptoms but after seeing them for several months I am mostly back to normal! I still have some occasional “flare ups” but they gave me the skills to handle on my own.

Macye is simply the best!! I cannot emphasize enough how well she provided respectful and client-centered care. She heard me and had extensive knowledge around pelvic floor health. I felt validated and so comfortable sharing all of my history with her. She walked me through every part of her care, and I found myself looking forward to this process. After many failed attempts with pelvic health, I feel optimistic and well supported by Macye’s care!
