We specialize in orthopedics and women's health. As a physical therapy practice, we do more than just exercise. We educate our patients about their problem. We empower them to self-manage and make lifestyle changes that are realistic and sensible. We use a hands-on approach to help their bodies become purposeful again. It's time to own your body! In addition to orthopedics (eg. shoulder pain, knee pain), we also have a unique specialty in women's health and pelvic floor disorders. That means we have the capability to evaluate and treat special conditions with a musculoskeletal component: bladder problems, sexual dysfunction, colorectal disorders, post-surgical adhesions (see our website for a complete listing). We have the knowledge to examine the pelvis and abdomen, where we can find here the missing link to treating other coexisting problems. We often find the patient saying at the end of the explanation of their condition, "So, it's all connected…." Connect Physical Therapy is the connect to the community, the connect between person and condition, the connect between shoulder to ankle, the connect from hurt to healing.

"Dr. Echenberg’s passion for integrative care in women’s health now continues with his creation of one of the first privately owned multi-disciplinary practices specializing in assessment, diagnosis and treatment of chronic pelvic pain (CPP)… We developed an approach and a "model" for assessing, educating and treating women with a wide variety of painful symptoms known, in total, as Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP). Many of our patients (now more than 800 women and a small number of men) have benefited immeasurably and can say that we helped to increase their quality of living and often that we have "given their lives back".

"I apply my skills with biofeedback to men, women, and children with pelvic pain and bowel and bladder dysfunction. The addition of specialized manual therapy techniques enables me to successfully treat many difficult bladder, bowel, and chronic pelvic pain conditions…. I believe in increasing awareness of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction; and therefore, provide community and physician lectures on pelvic floor muscle dysfunction topics."
