Sarton Physical Therapy

Experiencia fantástica: Where do I begin. I was in a very dark place when I found Sarton Physical Therapy. I had prayed that I would find the right place and the right treatment for my pain, and just like that, I found this amazing place on my first search online. From the first phone call with Alexa, she was able to make me feel heard and supported even before I had my first official visit with her. I finally had a glimpse of hope that things could get better and that my pain actually DID have a cause. I’ve been in therapy for almost 3 months and I’ve seen so much progress and improvement in my symptoms. I have learned that healing is not linear, and Alexa reminds me of that often even when I have my moments of despair but I always leave Sarton feeling hopeful and seeing that there is a light at the end of this very dark tunnel at times. She’s always coming up with new ideas and things that can help me and I appreciate that so much. I am not healed yet, but I have the confidence that we are doing all the right things and especially because I genuinely feel that the staff cares about me and want to see me succeed and they work as a team so I know I will get there. I’m forever thankful to Alexa (and Emily who’s great as well!) for her sweet, caring, understanding and patient demeanor that I have no words to express how thankful I am for her and for having found a place that cares about their patients the way they do. The front staff is the sweetest and welcomes me with so much kindness every time I walk through the door. I cannot recommend Sarton PT enough. Thank you so much for doin the job you do. ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot say enough amazing things about Sarton PT and specifically Dr. Nikita. From the moment you walk in it is such a welcoming place and every person that works there is so kind. It took years for me to realize my health concerns were pelvic floor related and when I made my appointment they scheduled me with Dr. Nikita. I felt so much peace and relief after the first appointment because she was able to thoroughly explain to me what my problems were and what the next steps were to resolve it. It was the first time I really felt like I understood what was going on with my body and that alone gave me so much more peace. Dr. Niki made me feel so comfortable and we had such fun conversations that I always was excited to go to PT! It has now been 1 year of consistent weekly PT and I can say that my primary health concern has been fully fixed and my main goal has been met! I cannot believe how far I’ve come in my pelvic floor health journey and it’s all thanks to Dr. Niki. She truly changed my life and I’m so so thankful for her and everyone at Sarton PT.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience at Sarton was nothing short of amazing!! The staff is very warm and welcoming. Dr. Christina was very knowledgeable and encouraging in my journey of healing. This is a very special therapy clinic that truly cares about their patients.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff here does an excellent job in treatments specific to you. They listen to you and provide a healing environment. They gave me my life back from chronic pain. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Ask for Niki! She rocks!

Experiencia fantástica: Julie & her team have been absolutely amazing! Julie is professional, extremely compassionate, knowledgeable in her skills in pelvic PT, & has truly helped me with my extensive and complex health conditions. She has truly been an inspiration and has helped me on a magnitude of issues. She treats her patients as individuals through personalized medicine rather than "just another patient." She always goes above and beyond in her acts of service and medical treatment. Julie has mastered the art of professionalism, extreme knowledge in her field of practice, & is beyond compassionate. I am forever grateful and thankful for Julie and her team!

Experiencia fantástica: I am immensely grateful to Alexa, whose expertise and compassionate care has profoundly transformed my life. After being misdiagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis (IC) in 2020, enduring numerous treatments and surgeries, we finally discovered that my condition was rooted in severe pelvic floor dysfunction from a car accident in 2016. Alexa’s unparalleled knowledge and skill in pelvic floor therapy has been instrumental in my recovery. She meticulously guided me through targeted physical therapy that has significantly alleviated my symptoms. Her holistic approach, which includes addressing the mental health aspects of my condition, has been nothing short of life changing. From our very first session, Alexa exhibited an exceptional bedside manner that immediately put me at ease. She took the time to listen to my concerns, struggles I have and continue to experience, understand my medical history, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to my unique needs. Her patience, empathy, and unwavering support has been a source of comfort and motivation throughout my journey. Beyond her technical expertise, Alexa has had a profound impact on my mental health. Her encouragement and positive reinforcement has helped me overcome the psychological barriers associated with my condition. She has introduced to a number of additional therapy strategies that will continue to impact my improvement long after my sessions with her have ended. As a result, I now experience a sense of normalcy and well-being that I never thought possible. I wholeheartedly recommend Alexa to anyone seeking pelvic floor therapy. Her dedication to her patients and her comprehensive approach to treatment have not only improved my physical health but have also restored my confidence and quality of life. She is truly an outstanding professional in her field.

Experiencia fantástica: Sarton Physical Therapy has helped me so much with my pelvic floor issues.! Julie is very knowledgeable and helpful! I would highly recommend Julie to anyone who has pain or issues with their pelvic floor. She is the best!

Experiencia fantástica: This is a fantastic business. The team, from reception all the way to the therapists, are first class--courteous, compassionate, and highly skilled at what they do. A big shout out to Dr. Christina Yu, PT, DPT, who fearlessly goes forth to find the root of the issue, and teams with you to develop an action plan in the clinic in addition to manageable exercises you can do at home or in the office. Lastly, for male patients who might be uncomfortable in addressing anything pelvic-related: This is a safe and discreet place. My advice is, "Trust the process." Therapy, in any form, is rarely an overnight win. I took a risk in going forth, and it has truly benefited me. Thank you, Team Sarton. The work you do is life-changing.

Experiencia fantástica: There is no way to put into words the level of skill, expertise and quality of care that the Pelvic Healing and Sarton team offer. As a fellow pelvic floor therapist and clinic owner, I was looking for a clinic to help treat some aliments that let’s just say are hard to treat on yourself. I was so blown away by the compassion and skill level that I received there. The constraints of insurance often limit the quality of care, and duration of care, that you can receive but by paying out of pocket this is not the case and Julie and her team are worth every cent! I am beyond grateful for the care that I received from them and I recommend to anyone in need of pelvic floor therapy in Orange County, and beyond, to reach out to Julie Sarton and her team. They are the most experienced clinic in Orange county as well as have an International presence that far exceeds other PT clinics. You will not be disappointed!

Experiencia fantástica: If you are researching pelvic floor therapy look no further this is where you need!! All staff are friendly and professional. I always felt comfortable with my therapist Ms Nikki and she had SO many options to help my individual needs The time she would take to educate me about my body and my symptoms was so valuable. . Knowing there are many ways to help gave me hope for success. I am feeling free to do the things I love again. Thank you for your amazing services!

Experiencia negativa: Update: perhaps if you had taken my phone calls and requests in the first place, we could have rectified the situation. I was with your former Pilates instructor, who obviously has moved on. I hope that you take this into consideration for the next customer as your Pilates was not up to standards, sadly. They take insurance for some appointments and then will suddenly stop and not tell you. I have a good PPO. If you aren’t going to take insurance, be up front with people. They were no better than UCI. Also, I booked a private beginner Pilates session with a kind instructor and was next to a young man with a very loud instructor. It was absolutely horrible. My instructor had to move us to a tiny room and of course they limited the equipment. The whole experience was sadly not good in the end. Not worth it. Now that I have been to two other places, I know how much this physical therapy/pilates is worth and this is definitely not it. I did try to follow up to resolve both the insurance and Pilates issue and was ignored. This place doesn’t care about your well being. They only care about the money whether you pay out of pocket or not, sadly.

Experiencia fantástica: They are miracle workers!! I could not bear weight on my leg without having shooting/stabbing pain in my pelvis after a lengthy labor and delivery. As a runner, I was worried I might have permanently altered my gait. I began seeing Dr. Nikita at 2 weeks postpartum, and by my 5th session with her, I was able to go on my first postpartum run absolutely pain-free!! My only regret is that I did not see them after my first pregnancy; I am now a firm believer that everyone should see a pelvic PT during postpartum and I could not recommend Sarton PT enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Physical therapy has been awesome! Alexa is wonderful and knowledgeable about the pelvic floor. Highly recommend everyone to check it out, especially if you have pelvis pain. As an endometriosis patient, this has become a life saver and the best part of my week!

Experiencia fantástica: Okay. So when I die, imma donate my body to science fiction. All I gotta say is don’t fall of cliffs & hit stuff on the way down. So from my skull & scalp to the literal soles of my feet I’m a bit of a hot mess. Literally countless doctors & practitioners of every ilk have tried to do something wit my adorable meat & bones. Chiropractors, acupuncturists, accessories, MTs, PTs, MDs, osteopaths, & world class spinal surgeons. Results are generally mid. At best. Straight debilitating, sometimes perminantly, at worst (I’m looking at you, aggressive chiropractic & you, epidural nerve block, & you crazy run of all the meds). A few practitioners have been brilliant, an MT, a single PT, etc, but in the tsunami of doctors, the ratio of awesome to not awesome has not been encouraging. It’s been 31 years since I broke my back, recurved my cervical vertebrae, & apparently fractured my skull in that fall. They advised against having kids. I had 3. Giant boys. I’m 5’2”. The last one literally broke the mold as my uterus tried to follow my son on out. My back surgery was anterior approach & the adhesions & internal scar tissue from cutting my tummy, scooping my organs & guts aside & doing surgery on the front of my back is wild. The fascial restrictions from the 4 years of almost constant bed rest to recover from that insane surgery are intense. The scar tissue from my throat— because all that bed rest & eating on my back like an otter enabled them to identify my thyroid cancer super early, so they removed the whole enchilada— & abdomen decided to join hands. The scar tissue from the freak goldfish accident that partially severed my thumb back in college has joined with my fascia in new & exciting ways. (I told you, this ride is going to science fiction when I’m done.) Sarton Pelvic Floor PT is a literal freaking God-send. Dr Nikita is a freaking genius. Yes it takes a minute to get used to internal PT. Our society is weird about our lady & man bits for dumb reasons, they’re part of our body. So essentially every level of my spine, the nerves that originate there & innervate the muscles of my body & especially my pelvic floor, though I didn’t realize it once upon a time, are in a shrieking contest all day & night every day & night. One voice has always been loudest, & that’s coccyx. She’s a screamer. Dr Nikita adjusted her on my first rectal therapy appointment & then had me sit down. (Sitting down is an exquisite symphony of aging from my head to my toes but coccyx & sacrum are like ice picks to the spine, always). So, I sat. And had ZERO coccyx pain. At all. I was in shock. I literally could not process what was happening. I went into their (characteristically delightful) bathroom & bawled for a half hour & had a massive existential paradigmatic revolution, unable to hold back the whisper-yelled words, “what even is my life right now!” Over & over again. For days. Of course it revises a bit, but we keep working on it. I’m getting used to the sacral ice pick , immobile shoulder & constant migraines being loudest now. So weird. Dr Nikita is still peeling back the layers. There are MANY. She has recommended internal Botox— didn't know that was a thing!— to relax constantly spasming pelvic floor muscles. I’m finding a practitioner. We’ll see how that goes. But dang. Best bazillion dollars I have ever spent. Right up there with the orthotics that enable me to walk more than a few feet. Sarton does NOT bill your insurance. You pay, you request a super bill, you submit the claims to your own insurance. I believe it’s $315/ visit, & and $175/ OMT visit with Frieda who is ALSO A FREAKING GENIUS!— I mean, have you ever had your throat worked on? I hadn’t either. It’s been hard to swallow since that thing grew around my esophagus & trachea & my drs said it probably bent them. Even swallowing saliva has been hard. First visit, Frieda went after my deep scar tissue (I only knew what to do with my external scar tissue because of Sarton PFPT teaching me to skin roll) AND I COULD BREATHE & SWALLOW again. Freaking Miracles, ya’ll. Do it.

Experiencia fantástica: Going to Sarton physical therapy has been the best decision I have made postpartum! When I developed a prolapse I had instantly panicked and didn’t think I would get back to working out or running. Alexa and the team at Sarton have been so supportive and have helped me get back to working out just like I did before I had a baby! Their office and team is very welcoming. I cannot say enough good things about them. If you’re are on the fence about pelvic floor physical therapy, I highly recommend it!

Experiencia fantástica: I am so grateful for Julie Sarton and Sarton Physical Therapy! My pain journey has been a long one, and I had all but given up. When I was at my lowest, I decided to try pelvic floor physical therapy one more time, and I’m so glad I chose to come to Sarton Physical Therapy! They offer an array of therapeutic modalities, and they know it’s a matter of tailoring the right combination for every individual. Julie and her team are dedicated, determined, patient and kind. They have helped me gain a better understanding of my body, and while I’m not quite 100% pain free, I see that I am improving. I thank each and every therapist for doing what they do. They have made a huge impact in my life and have given me the gift of returned hope. For that, I could never thank them enough!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff and physicians are all so professional, helpful, and kind to my wife and I. They have certain supplements and other items for sale right there in the office which is so convenient! Highly recommend this physical therapy office, 10/10!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been seeing Julie at Sarton Physical Theraphy for a couple of years now. I am just leaving a session today experiencing such a tremendous release from the pelvic floor, thoracic and lower back pain that I felt when I came in today. I am so grateful, I feel like a new person; a new body for sure. Julie’s knowledge and technique surpass any therapist I’ve ever seen and the work that she has has done with me has made a significant difference in the quality of my life. I am beyond grateful!

Experiencia fantástica: I am currently going to two different Pelvic Health locations. One of them is Sarton. My experience tells me Sarton Pelvic Health is a class organization from top to bottom. The rooms are set up to be intimate to help with atmosphere. I have the good fortune to have Christina Yu as my practitioner. Christina is in a class of 1 all by herself. She is tough, and passionate about her job and wants to see her patients get well.

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional. Very private.

Experiencia fantástica: Sarton Physical Therapy is a fantastic facility for anyone suffering from pelvic floor problems. The pelvic floor therapists are highly educated, experienced, skilled and very patient and understanding. Julie Sarton is responsible for a large deal of research on pelvic floor problems and continues to teach the medical community. I am so grateful for Julie bridging the gap between patients in pain and doctors who are under-educated in the area of pelvic floor dysfunction. Sarton Physical Therapy treats the WHOLE person for pelvic floor dysfunction. Among the modalities: pelvic floor therapy, laser therapy, Pilates, massage therapy. I have received educational tools: stretching instructions, book suggestions and connection with a therapist to help "unpack the mind". This is a great place to heal!

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff! Very knowledgable! Highly recommend !

Experiencia fantástica: I was in serious pain from gardening yesterday. I was so happy I was already scheduled for PT today. Wasn't sure if it was sciatic but Alexa ruled that out quickly and reset my SI joint and I left Sarton PT in great shape. Alexa you're amazing and thank you.

Experiencia fantástica: I'm so grateful for Sarton Physical Therapy! Their staff is exceptional, welcoming, and so knowledgable. My symptoms were significantly improved in just 12 visits and I would recommend this group to anyone searching for pelvic PT help. Also, their Instagram is a fantastic resources so I'd check that out too!

Experiencia fantástica: Alexa helped so much! Six weeks of therapy gave me back my intimate pleasure without pain. I couldn’t recommend Sarton Pelvic floor PT more.

Experiencia fantástica: 1st experience here with thorough explanation of pelvic anatomy & how pelvic muscles work. Very gentle & compassionate . Referring my friend here.

Experiencia fantástica: If you have pelvic issues female or male, this is the place to receive healing. The moment I walked into Sarton Physical Therapy, many of my fears went away. Others doctors outside of Sarton Physical Therapy wrote me off by telling me not to stress. However, they stop treating me. My pain would get the best of me. After meeting Dr. Sarton and her team of experts, my spirits were up and hope for healing came into the picture. As of now, my tailbone pain, and genital pain is gone. I currently am able to use the restroom the normal amount of time with ease, and am pain free when I do so. I was always in a safe and comfortable environment with Sarton Physical Therapy. The front desk is caring and friendly as well. The Sarton Physical Therapy Team taught me about my anatomy in ways I can understand.I became aware of my pelvic floor and eventually was able to relax it. They showed me exercises and other wholistic approaches that guided me through my healing. Not once did they give up on me.Step by Step they got to the bottom cause of my pain by assessing my whole body and lifestyle (food, posture, history). I'm feeling better thanks to Dr. Julie Sarton and her wonderful team of pelvic experts. I am forever grateful.

Experiencia fantástica: It really helps the pelvic floor therapy is very beneficial and all the therapists are very nice for the staff are really good. I highly recommend this place.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been coming to Sarton Physical Therapy as a result of having had a major 13 hour spinal cord decompression, cervical laminectomy and fusion surgery. Both Alexa and Megan have gone above and beyond all expectations for being the most professional, knowledgeable and compassionate physical therapists I could’ve ever imagined. I am so grateful for the sessions we’ve had and for the helpful treatments. If a 10 star review was possible I would give them a 10!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been receiving treatment from Alexa at Sarton since December and have seen a dramatic improvement with my problems. It has been an educational experience that has greatly changed the quality of my lif

Experiencia fantástica: Sarton Physical Therapy is by far the best pelvic physical therapy practice I have ever been to. When I first started back in November, I came there being in a lot of pain and feeling very frustrated. I had been attending another pelvic physical therapy practice for 6 months and nothing had gotten better. However, as soon as I came to Sarton and met with Alexa, I immediately knew how educated she and the practice were in dealing with pelvic floor issues, which unfortunately I’ve found not as many practitioners truly understand. Alexa quickly realized how to treat me without causing a flare up, which was incredible to me given my previous experiences. This allowed me to heal and allowed my brain and therefore my body to relax. Alexa has so many different methods she uses to treat me, and I’m so wowed at how they work. I highly recommend Alexa to anyone! I’ve also been seeing Meghan, who does visceral work on my stomach that has significantly helped my digestion! Her work has been so helpful and significant to my every day life, and I’m so grateful. I’m also thankful that they have a Pilates instructor, Kendel, who figures out which of your muscles have not been working and which have been compensating and paying the price. I did not realize I needed Pilates at all and just how much help my muscles needed and were part of the problem when it came to my pelvis. I’m so impressed that Sarton offers this option to its clients, and I’m so thankful for Kendel helping me. There is also a phenomenal acupuncturist that Sarton brings in for clients. Emma is so gentle and is incredible at reading your body. Her cupping services are amazing, and I highly recommend her! I had no idea how important her work would be for my healing. I’m very grateful for Alexa, Sarton, and all the practitioners who have been helping me heal. I’m in no pain most of the time, and I’m getting better everyday and know I’ll soon be completely pain free. This is so significant to me and my future now finally looks bright and light.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Julie Sarton is the most skilled, knowledgeable and truly caring pelvic floor specialist I have met! I flew from Switzerland to her clinic in Orange County twice and would love to go back for some more treatment. Thank you Dr Sarton and your great team of PTs.

Experiencia fantástica: My health history is quite complicated to say the least, and before arriving to Sarton Physical Therapy I’ve already worked unsuccessfully with a few pelvic floor therapists who were considered very experienced and knowledgeable. I ended up having a complicated surgery which addressed 3 out of 4 problems that I’ve had in the area of pelvic floor. Already during first appointment - going over my health history and assessment I’ve realized how special Julie and her entire company is. She carefully went over every little detail of my health history, checked every single little thing that was not functioning properly in my body to her sharp perceptive eye (not inly pelvic floor issues, but my posture, the way I walk, the way my ankles, shoulders, spine are aligned & performing. It was quite impressive because while she was picking up the issues, she also was explaining how each affects pelvic floor performance. I knew immediately - I will get here what I won’t get anywhere else. And was I right! As I started my therapy Julie recommended physical therapy in the form of Pilates, which will strengthen the muscles that need it. Kendel is an excellent instructor, and I’ve made a very significant progress with her. I have a variety of different issues, seemingly not related to pelvic floor function, but for each issue - lymphatic movement, sensory issues, metabolic issues there is a health care practitioner in the office that would address and fix it. Julie’s methods, her approach is being used by all of her staff members very successfully. Julie is not only amazing healthcare practitioner, but she is an amazing person- she is “outside of the box” thinker, she knows exactly what each patient needs and figures out how to achieve it for each patient individually. I’ve resolved most of my issues under Julie’s guidance and supervision! Julie even diagnosed me with the problem that rare that no one physician nor functional medicine doctors would pick it up. And fixing that problem is the key puzzle to fixing many other health issues I had. She’s an amazing person, so kind and selfless. She won’t stop searching for the best possible option for each of her patients! And everyone that is working in the office is the same - friendly, professional, very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond in order to help each patient of Sarton Physical Therapy!

Experiencia fantástica: I have IC and struggle with PFD so I was skeptical going into my first meeting because I didn't know how much PFT could really help. I was SO wrong. I came in not even being able to sleep on my side without pain and within a month I was able to sleep normally again. Mandy is literally my savior! She's so kind and attentive. I always feel like I'm in good hands. She's never too rough and is so communicative. She really educates her patients as well as treating them. She wants to set us up for success. The office is also amazing including the front desk employees. They are so kind and make it so easy to make appointments. They really follow covid restrictions which makes me feel safe continuing my care through this time. I'm moving up to LA but still going to make the drive down because it's so worth it. If you're thinking of making an appointment DO IT! Its worth the money.

Experiencia fantástica: Male perspective of Sarton Pelvic floor Physical Therapy i saw a pain doctor and was diagnosed with sacral iliac dysfunction. The choice for treatment was regular physical therapy or pelvic PT. My conditions are : BPH ( Blue light laser surgery ) , low back pain, ED, urinary retention , urinary urgency and frequency ( urination 3-4 times/night an hourly during daytime ) . The pelvic floor PT was the obvious choice as more of my conditions could be treated and improved. I knew that I would be in a female environment but having gone through catheterization, multiple biopsies, rectal exams etc…. I didn’t care if it was a female or male doing the treatment . My first visit I was still nervous but the whole staff was very calming and friendly. Stephanie and Venessa in the front office and Morgan and Ally ( physical therapists ) were great. Morgan my main therapist made me feel comfortable and even though I am some what of an introvert she was able to get me talking and comfortable talking about my conditions. She was very good at covering up privates and doing the therapy discreetly. The internal exam and therapy was not a big deal and after a few visits I began to have major improvements in my conditions. My pain is less. I only need to get up 1-2 times /night and only need to urinate every 3-4 hours during the daytime. Morgan has a full schedule and one time I couldn’t get scheduled with her and Stephanie gave me a choice of two other therapist .She said they were all good but I was skeptical . She was right- Ally was great. She is very good at what she does. She asked before the internal therapy and she did the therapy- her skill was obvious ! I would give the therapist and the office a 5 star rating and would recommend Sarton PT to males or females. Thank you Sarton for your great care and kindness . They provide an exceptional experience ! Thank you, Craig

Experiencia fantástica: Last year, I was a patient at Sarton Physical Therapy for about four months (I thought I wrote a review a while back but apparently it didn't publish). I have nothing but great things to say about the practice, and particularly my therapist, Allea, one of the best healthcare providers I have ever had. She's absolutely brilliant, and is terrific at explaining how your pelvic health relates to other parts and systems of your body, and is an endless reservoir of information. Beyond that, she's both considerate (never making me feel awkward or uncomfortable, which is critical with health issues as sensitive and personal as pelvic health) as well as driven, and helps her patients stay encouraged and motivated (and she has a great sense of humor as well). My only regret is that I had to stop my appointments because I had to move for work, and while I did not resolve all my pelvic health issues in that time frame given my departure, I feel better equipped to handle them going forward. If you have any pelvic health issues, do yourself a favor and book an appointment at Sarton with Allea or any of their other excellent therapists. You simply cannot find better physical therapy in Orange County.

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Sarton Physical Therapy a year ago, hopeless and in pain. I have received the best advice, guidance and tips on how to achieve long term recovery. Today, I am 95% healed thanks to Julie Sarton and her team. Julie has a gift of healing and can be experienced through each therapist at Sarton. Their care, compassion, understanding, guidance, professionalism and expertise got me through the hardest time in my life. I've been treated by all therapist at Sarton. Becky's genuine care and sense of humor always brightened up the darkest of days. Her assurance that I had the ability to heal and that I would heal was something that I heard from her at every visit. Raychel got me from 80% healed to 95% within 2 visits. I look forward and I'm confident I will reach 100% percent healing within the next few visits. I will forever be grateful to Julie and the team at Sarton Physical Therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: UPDATE: So I am back at Sarton for a shoulder/neck nerve issue that I had and was getting no help with from other PTs, acupuncture, chiropractors. Even though they specialize in pelvic issues, I went back because of the thoroughness of the PTs, and how they take time to work with their patients. My PT told me it would take about 6 sessions to get things straightened out. Guess what, she was right. I am now pain free again and am back in action. My husband is also at Sarton as well for lower back and hip issues. He cannot believe how much better he feels (and secretly, I think he wishes he would have listened to me sooner). The worst thing you can do is hold off on seeing them; thinking your pain will get better. It won't, and you won't. Original: Julie & Co changed my life. I had been dealing with postnatal pain and discomfort for 2 yrs; I was unable to workout without pain. (Not even yoga or pilates). When another PT referred me to Sarton for specialized PT, I thought "I have nothing to lose". It was the BEST thing I could have done for my body. Treatment took 8 months, but i am now back to my old workout schedule (5 days/week), no pelvic floor or incontinence issues! It is awesome to feel like myself again. And because they have taught me to self-treat, I can take care it if myself. Thank you Sarton!

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Sarton Physical Therapy for urinary urgency and hip pain. The care was extraordinary by Dr. Allea Francis which was exceptional and beyond measure. After an evaluation and two visits, my hip pain and urgency was completely gone!!! I’ve realized with Dr. Allea how important pelvic health and how the pelvic floor affects everything. Anyone who suffers from these ailments, should seek out treatment at Sarton PT. Dr. Allea is an amazing woman!

Experiencia fantástica: This place seriously changed my life. All staff are such beautiful people who want nothing more than to see you succeed! I'm so thankful to have been treated at this facility. If you plan on going to the Tustin location, make sure to ask for Allea; she's the best! I'm the happiest I have probably ever been. Thank you Sarton Physical Therapy! I will be forever grateful.

Experiencia fantástica: Allea was completely amazing! She worked with me so patiently and thoroughly to get to the root of the problem of my pain, and her treatment plan was perfectly catered to what was going on with me. She was the sweetest and most fun to talk to and made our sessions easy and relaxed. I have told so many people about her and how this process was life changing. I went in pretty hopeless, frustrated, and confused and now I have overcome it all, and it’s all thanks to Allea and Sarton Physical Therapy for educating and empowering me! THANKFUL FOREVER!

Experiencia fantástica: I attended the out of Town Program for chronic pelvic pain. I have 5 children and could barely participate in their lives due to pain. I had tried so many treatments including other physical therapists. Sarton Physical Therapy experience was truly a lifesaver for me! They gave me hope when I felt entirely alone and thought I would live a life of profound and debilitating pain and agony. While this sounds ‘‘dramatic’, each day was stretching out longer than the prior one. In particular Ally, Julie, and Zeena were there for me to help me on my journey to health. They were highly professional, very knowledgeable and educated me on my home program. They had positive attitudes as well and it was infectious! The entire staff changed my life and I am so grateful! I cannot endorse them enough!

Experiencia fantástica: I Highly recommend Sarton physio for anyone struggling with pelvic pain. I found Sarton physio through online patient forums where many other patients recommended them (because my local PTs were not able to help me). Five years ago I had a rare bladder infection that left me with tissue damage, inflammation, tightness, and scarring in my pelvis resulting in Pudendal Nerve (PN) pain and sitting problems. This has caused ongoing pain and limited my ability to work and function at times. I saw numerous pelvic PTs as recommended by my doctors in Vancouver Canada, but none were particularly knowledgeable or comfortable with PN PT. I had asked for internal and external work as outlined in the "headache in the pelvis" protocol, but was told I did not have trigger points and they were not trained in this area. Finally I decided to work only with experts in PN because it is so rare and I want to reduce pain and get back to working, and I traveled to California to work intensively for 10 days with the Sarton team. The experience was amazing and SO HELPFUL. First of all, the team immediately and easily identified all my internal trigger points. After a full assessment they adjusted my therapy plan to focus on these, and the director, Julie Sarton, adjusted her busy schedule to accommodate seeing me regularly. At times I had two physios working with me simultaneously to corroborate their assessment. Because of their tremendous experience and knowledge with manual therapy, they could identify the source of the pain, and when things were too much or too little pressure to relieve pain. They combined internal work with external myofascial release, cupping, heat, and body rolling which provided me with many hours of complete pain relief. They added in adjunct therapies such as mindfulness and pain psychoeducation ( Book: why pelvic pain hurts) and helped me to clearly identify ongoing tissue pain, versus referred pain. They also helped me to communicate with PTs in my local area to properly explain what I needed on my return home. PN issues are rare and this was the first time I was able to feel secure and safe that my provider had more knowledge than me; they were able to educate me on pain and on the pathways of my particular pain so that I felt more empowered, validated, and in control. Leaving Sarton I felt renewed hope, I felt supported and empowered, and more knowledgeable about a treatment plan that will help to reduce my pain over time. They provided me with a full assessment to take back to my PT in Canada as well as a daily self-care protocol to follow to reduce pain. They also continue to follow up with me. In my case, the etiology is muscoloskeletal and it will take ongoing self-care and PT to fully peel away those layers of tightness, but I see regular and increasing positive results that are lasting and hope inspiring. In fact I sat for five hours with no pain after leaving Sarton---I just have to be mindful to not push my limits and to keep up with the protocol to build sustainability in my sitting time. I was truly blown away by the care and expertise of this team. I believe they are the best in North America working on this issue. If you need local or out of town support then I highly recommend the Sarton team. Because PN issues are rare and because there are multiple paths (etiologies) that can lead to the same symptoms, it is important to have a proper physio assessment as part of your care approach. The team at Sarton can tell you if your symptoms will benefit from soft tissue therapies or not, and when you may need to look at other PN approaches. They knowledge of PN extends beyond PT so that they can help identify which path to healing may be most helpful to you. Allea, my primary PT at Sarton, also answered all of my psychosocial questions and gave me some input on ways to communicate better with my support network around PN pain. This physio work is very sensitive as well, and I highly commend the team for making me feel safe and comfortable and almost like family during my stay.

Experiencia fantástica: Joanne at Sarton Physical Therapy has changed my life. I was hesitant to make an appointment at first but I am so happy I did! Although I had a strong core from years of pilates, I had a weak pelvic floor which lead to stress incontinence and mad dashes to the bathroom. I just thought this was normal as one got older. I was surprised to learn, IT'S NOT! Through education, muscle awareness and practice I am a different person-a better person. Joanne is patient, knowledgeable, compassionate and understanding. She explains everything completely and thoroughly. I appreciate her matter of fact demeanor and her sense of humor which makes a potentially awkward situation completely normal. She truly cares about me and wants me to improve. I am so thrilled that I met her. I am not exaggerating when I say that pelvic floor physical therapy at Sarton Physical Therapy with Joanne is LIFE CHANGING!

I have several chronic illnesses that effect my entire body but had never even heard of pelvic therapy until my doctor suggested it! I am so glad they did! Julie’s incredible background as a neurological physical therapist gives her the ability to treat complex issues and gives her an extremely unique out of the box perspective. I have seen several of the Pelvic PTs on her team and they have have all been amazing and extremely helpful, and each took the time to read up on my medical case before seeing me. They make you feel welcome, comfortable, and safe and work hard to ensure their patients are informed about their health. I truly can not say enough great things about this clinic!! They have helped me so much. Pelvic therapy at Sarton PT has become such an important part of my healthcare team.

Experiencia fantástica: Julie changed my life. Plain and simple. After being in traditional PT for six months with No change to my pain AND after seeing another pelvic PT whose web ratings were better than their actual care for their patients, I came to Sarton PT. Julie’s compassion and years of expertise are bar none. She took me from living a level 9 pain for over a year, to functioning with my family again!! Julie and her staff are incredible. Wish there were 20 stars to rate how awesome they are!

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot even begin to express how amazing Sarton PT is. I would recommend them 100%! I have been working with Kelly for the past couple on months and she is the best of the best. Not only is she helpful and kind, she also is full of knowledge of different aspects of Physical Therapy. She even took the time to do a quick overview for my husband who had a hurt back and said he may have a bulging disc, we got an MRI and she was completely right! So grateful we found Sarton!

Experiencia fantástica: Life Changing.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing Sarton Physical Therapy is! They are truly they BEST, and I wouldn’t even consider going anywhere else. I started at Sarton PT back in 2016. My urologist suggested that I needed to do pelvic floor PT and I put off going for an entire year because the idea of it intimidated me. There is absolutely nothing to be intimidated about, especially here. My only regret is that I wish I started sooner. I mainly work with Julie and Kelly, but have been treated by every therapist there and all are EXTREMLEY knowledgeable, professional, and empathetic. I am so thankful to have Julie and Kelly in my life because when doctors have given up on me or kicked me to the curb, both never stop trying to find different angles on how to solve my pelvic floor mystery and never give up on me. The administration team is amazing as well. Very helpful! Even their insurance representative is fabulous, and I have never been able to say that about any insurance representatives before. Donna goes above and beyond. Julie has truly put together an amazing team of people. I have never felt so cared for. It is very apparent that patients health and well-being is their first priority!

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough good things about Sarton Physical Therapy! When I first came to them I was in pain 24/7 with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. After many treatments the pain is almost gone. They have given me many tools to treat myself at home. They have helped me get off of all medications. All of the physical therapist are so knowledgeable to help get me out of pain. If you are suffering from PFD, IC, pain with intercourse, incontinence, or any bladder issue go to Sarton you won’t regret it.

Experiencia fantástica: I've been going to this clinic off and on since 2014 and have never had less than an excellent experience. The staff is professional, makes you feel safe, and is incredibly educated when it comes to the world of pelvic health. I found that they knew more than my doctors knew. If you're considering going here, I highly recommend it. Thank you Sarton for helping me through such a difficult time in my life!

Experiencia fantástica: As a male having any pelvic floor ailment one soon finds out that pelvic floor physical therapy specialists for men are exceedingly difficult to come by especially with the high magnitude of experience that Julie Sarton and her team have at Sarton Physical Therapy! I was experiencing pain in my pelvic region from following an excessive road cycling regime. With effectively no help from local medical professionals I embarked on a journey that most with this sort of ailment do and started to research for myself. Once I suspected what my issue was it further became apparent that it was going to be difficult to get the medical attention necessary for recovery nor did I have a clue where to start literally in the World to find a medical professional that had the experience combined with the commitment to heal myself. As I became immersed in my research I soon found what by all accounts was the most experienced pelvic floor physical therapist on the continent or arguably the World that one could possibly have the fortune to find. I found Julie Sarton and the Sarton Clinic. When I made first contact with Julie to understand what services I could hope to receive, Julie spent over an hour on the telephone discussing my issue with me. It was instantly clear that I found a professional that genuinely cared about healing me. The rest is history …… I attended the Sarton Clinic and I am well on the way to recovery! Julie and her team continued to amaze me with their enthusiasm and unflagging commitment and determination to heal me! I cannot put clearly into words just how much the Sarton clinic helped me. Thank you!
