Understanding the purpose of your pelvic floor and core every day.

We understand the challenges of a hectic schedule which is why we won’t add more tasks to it. We will not be asking you to do a bunch of kegels lying down.

First, it is not functional meaning we typically are not having symptoms while lying down. We will make sure to help guide you in incorporating your pelvic floor and core throughout your daily activities. This makes it possible to create positive and everlasting change.

Tailoring your treatment plan based on your symptoms and goals, we will ensure that you will find a deeper connection to the purpose of your pelvic floor and deep core!

Rome physical therapy pelvic floor physical therapy with megan rome

Hi, I’m Dr. Megan!

I am a native of South Carolina graduating from the College of Charleston but moved to Florida while gaining my Doctorate Degree in Physical Therapy University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences. After practicing many years in Florida, we moved back to Charleston where I created my dream career, Rome Physical Therapy.

Why Women's Health PT?

While in school, my mom was diagnosed with pelvic pain after being passed from doctor to doctor without any tests to explain her symptoms. Turns out, it was scar tissue from her cesarean deliveries. How many women go to physical therapy after childbirth? LESS THAN 5%!

It was that moment in time when I found myself compassionately interested in Pelvic Health within Physical Therapy. After going through many Continuing Education Courses, I realized I too had experienced some pelvic pain and discomfort and realized a giant gap in treatment for women with pelvic floor dysfunctions. I have continued my research and training in Pelvic Health and obstetrics  across the country! Currently, I am privileged to guide women by reconnecting them to their body in order to decrease pain, dysfunction and even fear!

My Philosophy?

It is important to understand what is going on but more importantly- WHY did it happen in the first place. I believe in receiving noticeable results within 3-5 visits while identifying self autonomy for you to help regain control over your own life! I believe functional treatments that you can use in your everyday life rather than lying on your back making me do the work! It's your body. You need to understand what's going on and TOGETHER we can fix it!

Hi, I'm Dr. Allison!

I am originally from Rochester, NY where I earned my BS and Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Nazareth College of Rochester. After furthering my knowledge and education, pelvic health had become a new passion. It brings a whole new light to physical therapy!

Why Women's Health PT?

 After dealing with pelvic floor dysfunction of my own, I realized how important education is for women, especially in the prenatal and postpartum community. The reason why I got into PT was so people can do what they want and not be restricted with movement. Now fast forward to pelvic floor PT… I realized just how much women need this kind of PT! Women should be able to run and jump or laugh and sneeze without peeing on themselves! I feel people should be able to do what they want with their kids without pain or taking a bunch of medications! I have a very strong passion for pelvic floor PT and look forward to continuing to serve and empower the women of the Lowcountry.

My Philosophy?

I use a whole-body treatment approach with emphasis on function to help patients achieve their goals and restore their independence.  I love helping women better understand their bodies and return to activities they never thought they would be able to do again. I emphasize function. If you like running, let's look at running. If you are having issues lifting your baby, let's lift your baby! I like looking at the whole body to help with day-to-day activities from a holistic approach!

Hi, I'm Dr. Jenny!

I have practiced in Overland Park, KS and St. Louis, MO before relocating to Summerville, SC for my husband's job. I got my bachelor’s degree at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS (Rock Chalk Jayhawk) and my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at the University of Saint Mary in Leavenworth, KS (go Spires). I am a physical therapist and a professional figure skating coach. I have interests in figure skating, dance, running, kayaking, and hiking.

Why Women’s Health Physical Therapy?

My first physical therapy job out of school challenged me to take on pelvic floor cases. After training, further education, and mentorship I discovered the importance of caring for the pelvic floor and my passion developed. My second job in St. Louis, MO elevated my skills and helped develop my philosophy for pregnancy and postpartum care. As a mom, I can truly attest the importance of pelvic floor therapy. I believe that all women should be able to do all activities without pain , discomfort, or leaking. I have a strong passion for pelvic floor physical therapy and believe that women should not have to live with or think their symptoms are normal.

My Philosophy?

I believe that everyone has a story to tell and everyone should be heard. I believe in the whole body approach and finding out the reason WHY things happened. I love helping women achieve their goals and return to the activities they need and love to do.

Hi, I’m Dr. Rachel!

I’m originally from Charlotte, NC, and I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Columbia University after completing my undergraduate studies at UNC Chapel Hill. My journey began in sports medicine in California, but it was during my own childbearing experience that I recognized the huge need for pelvic health awareness and providers. This led me to dive into the world of pelvic health, starting in Urology, and I haven’t looked back since. 

Why Women's Health PT?

Throughout my career, I’ve developed a deep passion for treating the whole person, focusing on all aspects of health to provide individualized, high-quality care. I take pride in addressing each patient’s unique needs, whether it’s supporting athletes in reaching their peak performance, guiding nutrition for overall well-being, or helping break the cycle of chronic pain.

My Philosophy?

My approach is rooted in treating the whole body with a focus on functional movements, and I believe in offering comprehensive care that extends beyond traditional physical therapy. Whether it’s providing support during pregnancy, helping you move with ease while caring for your children, guiding you back to your sport, or addressing issues like chronic pain or post-surgical recovery, I aim to meet you where you are. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools you need to achieve your unique health and wellness goals, helping you regain confidence and live life without limitations.

Kind Words

  • “I found out about Pelvic PT a year or so ago and I knew I didn’t want long term issues. I am so thankful I found Rome PT and their term. After just 2 visits I saw improvements and learned so much. This should be the standard of care for many women within that first year postpartum.”

    — Naomi M.

  • “Pelvic Floor therapy at Rome PT is incredible! After seeing 2 other pelvic floor therapists, I finally found Rome PT and finally feel heard and am achieving results I was hoping for! We are working on specific exercises to help me run without leakage. This is such a different experience- I am not hooked up to a machine or just given kegels. What a relief! I am so glad I found them!”

    — Anna S.

  • “Pelvic Floor therapy changed my life. She helped fix my posture and constant back pain, helped fix all issues of urinary leakage, and gave me a better understanding of my core and workouts to specifically engage my pelvic floor. Megan is very professional but also extremely personable. I highly recommend Rome PT!”

    — Marianne D

  • “Absolute 5 stars for Rome Physical Therapy. As a PT myself and preparing for my first baby, Dr. Allison gave me the peace of mind that I needed. I wasn’t receiving the best support from my OB but Dr. Allison filled the gap! I feel more confident about the birthing process and postpartum care.”

    — Courtney H.

  • “Megan is a wealth of knowledge about the pelvic floor and how it relates/impacts the rest of your body. She makes you feel totally comfortable and is patient with you until you grasp the information and movement your body needs. Would definitely recommend it for anyone with postpartum or pelvic issues. I wish I would have started sooner!”

    — Stefanie C.
