Sallie Sarrel PT, ATC, DPT

Sallie Sarrel, PT, ATC, DPT, is trained in a wide range of physical therapy techniques. She specializes in internal and external pelvic mobilization, myofascial release, cranial sacral and visceral manipulation, having trained at the Upledger Institute and with Jean Pierre Barral. She believes in balancing the body’s muscles, bones, and nerves to help treat pain disorders. Her extensive knowledge of these techniques allows her to formulate a plan uniquely designed for each patient. Recent data linking pelvic and jaw pain makes her world-renowned experience in treating temporal-mandibular joint dysfunction syndrome (TMJ) an important part of her practice as well.

Dr. Sarrel is a Pilates Academy International certified instructor as well as a certified pre- and postnatal pilates specialist through The Center for Women’s Fitness. Since movement is a crucial component of neuroplasticity, helping the body reorganize to combat pain, Sallie utilizes customized pilates programs extensively. These innovative exercise routines are designed to suit each patient’s specific needs, help free the body from old patterns, and create new pain-free movement. Her work as a movement therapist is crucial to conditioning the body before surgery and for regaining strength and endurance post-operatively.
Sallie's favorite role as Pelvic PT is that of a sleuth. Taking the time and attention required to get to the bottom of complex and difficult chronic pelvic pain is a specialized focus of the practice. It is extremely rewarding to see women progress beyond the anonymity and suffering of pelvic pain into the world of health and wellness.
