Hi there, I’m Melissa Leisenring, founder of Suncoast Pelvic Therapy & Wellness.

​

I’ve been a physical therapist for over 17 years with a strong orthopedic background and more than a decade of specialized training in pelvic health. Over the years, I’ve worked with women facing everything from bladder leaks and pelvic pain to constipation, SI joint pain, diastasis recti, and the changes that come with pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause. Too often, I hear the same thing:

​

“I was told this is just part of life.”

​

I’m here to tell you—it doesn’t have to be.

​

I’m not just a physical therapist. I’m also a mom, a midlife woman, and someone who knows firsthand how frustrating it feels when your body doesn’t feel like yours anymore. Like many of my clients, I’ve experienced the panic of sudden urgency, the discomfort of pain, and the discouragement of “doing everything right” yet still feeling stuck.

​

Over the years, I’ve completed advanced training through Herman & Wallace, Pelvic Global, and became a Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist. But the biggest lesson I’ve learned is this: real pelvic health isn’t about doing more Kegels or pushing harder—it’s about listening to your body, addressing the root causes, and supporting your whole self.

​

That’s why at Suncoast Pelvic Therapy & Wellness, I offer one-on-one, compassionate care that goes beyond symptoms. I take the time to learn your story, understand your goals, and create a plan that blends physical therapy expertise with whole-body, lifestyle strategies to help you:

​

• Reduce leaks and urgency

• Ease pain and discomfort

• Rebuild core and pelvic floor strength

• Support your body through pregnancy, postpartum, and midlife changes

Because pelvic health isn’t just about muscles—it’s about helping you feel confident, in control, and free to live your life without limits.

​

You deserve that. And I’m so glad you’re here.
