Pelvic Health and Rehabilitation Center - Encinitas Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

Experiencia fantástica: Danae at PHRC in Encinitas has been wonderful! I had previous experience with pelvic floor physical therapy for pelvic floor dysfunction, but this past year I started to develop persistent vulvar itching, burning and pain. I initially thought this was due to an infection, when all my tests came back negative I made an appointment with Danae. She was very kind, thorough and understanding. She did a comprehensive intake and physical exam, with those things she was able to diagnose me with hormonal mediated vestibulodynia (something I had never heard of!) she was able to advise me on a treatment plan, and help treat my pelvic floor tightness that had resulted from this. Everyone at PHRC is top notch, they are truly leaders in their field and take such pride in their work. If you have any concerns about your pelvic health this is the place to go.

Experiencia fantástica: Very helpful and informative care from Danae. On my way to recovery. Thanks!

Experiencia fantástica: Great, professional care! I could recommend more!

Experiencia fantástica: Starting PT with Danae has been a great experience! I have gone to pelvic PTs in the past but none compare to here - I just wish I had found Danae sooner. After years of struggling with pain and not understanding the cause or how to treat it, I have finally felt heard and have not only reached my goals (which at times have felt unattainable) but learned a lot in the process! Danae has also been able to point me to other doctors that understand and help me feel heard and are able to work with me on treatment. I'd definitely recommend PHRC in Encinitas - and specifically working with Danae!

Experiencia fantástica: Danae has truly been incredible! I've been dealing with painful periods ever since I was a teen and physical therapy has helped so much! Highly recommend Danae!! :)

Experiencia fantástica: Danae has helped me greatly to improve the overall health of my pelvic floor explaining the connections to the whole body and instructing me well in the importance of strengthening all the muscular tone together giving me exercises targeting specific and related areas. Thank you Danae!

Experiencia fantástica: I am so glad I took the plunge and started PT with Danae. I was able to finally work on some issues I’d been struggling with for years after giving birth to my daughter and learned so much while doing it! I’ve started recommending pelvic floor therapy to all of my friends and that is 100% due to my incredible experience with Danae.

Experiencia fantástica: I am so glad I decided to come here! My PT, Danae, was really great. She was very easy to talk to and I felt immediately comfortable with her. She really tried to understand my goals for return to sport postpartum and tailored my therapy and treatment plan. I noticed immediate results within the first few weeks. I feel so much more confident in my pelvic floor rehab postpartum and am planning on coming back after the next baby. Recovery from pregnancy is tough, both emotionally and physically, but after my sessions here I feel confident that everything can be fixed with a little dedication and work!

Experiencia fantástica: I contacted PHRC via an online contact form, and within a day or two I received a phone call from this office. I was offered an appointment with Danae Narvaza and was a little hesitant because I was more familiar with Jandra Mueller (due to Jandra's educational YouTube videos). But after reading the bio for Danae on the PHRC website, I sensed that I would be in good hands. During my first appointment, I was super nervous given the nature of the work we would be doing and due to having a history of being dismissed by doctors. Immediately I felt relaxed and calm in Danae's presence. She is the first medical professional to take my pelvic pain concerns seriously (which was such an incredibly healing experience after years of medical gas lighting and being told I couldn't be in pain / my pain was in my head / my pain was normal). Danae is a skilled PT who has educated me, advocated for me, and connected me with additional doctors who are helping me identify and address underlying conditions. I don't know where I'd be without Danae! She is incredibly compassionate, caring, trauma informed, and just an awesome human being! She helps me feel safe and heard. After years of feeling helpless, Danae has helped me feel hopeful again, and she has helped bring relief to my body. I still have a ways to go on my healing journey, but I'm so glad to have someone like Danae on my care team.

Experiencia fantástica: Jandra is amazing! She has been a huge help to me. I appreciate her knowledge and expertise so much!

Experiencia fantástica: Jandra is AWESOME! She was hands-down the best PT I've seen & was a great resource for all things pelvic floor/reproductive health! I saw her after I had an invasive surgery & she was so well-informed on my condition. I recommend all my friends & family to her!

Experiencia fantástica: I have worked with Jandra for several years now and there's no one better in the pelvic PT game. We have collaborated on a number of complex cases and she always finds a way to go the extra mile for our patients. In addition, she has an extensive background in nutrition and how that can affect the various hormonal and pelvic conditions we treat. Jandra is one of my most relied on colleagues and I don't know what I would do without her on my team. If you're in Encinitas or the San Diego area, she's the one you want as a physical therapist!

Experiencia fantástica: Jandra is the best! I totally recommend going to see her, she was always make me so comfortable and talks to me with as much respect as an adult! Thank you so much!

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely love doctor Jandra. She is so knowledgeable, professional but personal at the same time. I went to see her a few months after I gave birth and she helpt me so much. I was in so much back pain and I truly thought I would just live with that pain forever, but she helpt me and my pain decrease within a few sessions and the pain completely was gone after a few months (of course this will be different for everyone). She made me understand my own body with conversation and exercise. Her place is very private and it made me feel very safe. I would highly recommend going to her, especially if you have had just a baby!

Experiencia fantástica: Jandra is simply the best. I went to a few PT’s before seeing Jandra and she was hands down the most knowledgeable and helped me the most. Can’t thank her enough for all that she did to help me over the past year.

Experiencia fantástica: Jandra has been super helpful in finding relief from my endometriosis pain and finding new alignment in my body with this pregnancy. She is very personable and always on time with treatment!

Experiencia fantástica: Jandra is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cares about her patients. She has always been willing to answer any questions I have, and I truly look forward to seeing her as I have seen a significant improvement in my symptoms since she started working with me.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been working with Jandra for integrative nutrition support for over a year now, and it has been one of the best decisions I have made for my health. She has recommended testing tools that helped give a clear picture what was going on with my body, and give us a starting point. If she doesn't know the answer to something, or it's outside her wheelhouse, she has been willing to reach out to her contacts or refer me to others for support. It means a lot how much Jandra has gone above and beyond to help me, and I appreciate her patience and support!

Experiencia fantástica: This is not just a woman’s rehabilitation, so many men suffer from Pelvic Floor pain and this place is an absolute game changer. Changed my life

Experiencia fantástica: After having three children in five years I knew I needed some post partum support. This is the place to go! Jandra helped me strengthen my pelvic floor and helped me work towards healing and wellness with nutrition visits and supplements. Jandra listened to every single one of my concerns. I felt heard, understood and cared for at every visit. Jandra is skilled, intelligent and wise. Our conversations were insightful. I am always impressed with the wealth of knowledge she has and how she continues to study and educate herself with the latest research. I’ve learned so much and feel successful in my treatment and would recommend to anyone looking for pelvic floor therapy, post partum health or nutrition assistance. She is the best of the best! I’m a better wife, mother and friend because I feel well! Thank you, Jandra!

Experiencia fantástica: Jandra is top notch and whole-hearted. This practice is full of experts who I would trust to treat any family member or patient of mine. I am grateful for all of them, and the care they put forward to help all their patients. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Pelvic Health and Rehabilitation Center in Encinitas, and more specifically Dr. Jandra Mueller, are head and shoulders above what a comprehensive approach to healthcare looks like today. I don't know where to begin other than to say I have been struggling with a litany of bizarre, unexplained and unusual symptoms for close to 2 years now and despite what I thought were my best efforts, I continued to hit brick wall after brick wall. Back in July of 2021 my healthcare organization in San Diego suffered a ransomware attack and I lost the ability to communicate with my PCP along with several other doctors and so I took to the internet to try and see if there was someone else locally who could help me with the pelvic floor component of my otherwise undiagnosed issues. With clarity and confidence I can say Jandra has single handedly assessed, diagnosed, recommended other healthcare professionals get involved and together, as a team, we are now in the process of treating what turns out to be a very complex diagnosis. I kid you not, when I first saw Jandra, I left thinking, "gosh, I must sound like an absolute crazy lady. There is no way she can make sense of the jumbled alphabet soup I just fed her." She assured me I was not crazy and we got busy going body system by body system, trying to look for core drivers that could tie some of my issues together. Here I sit three months later, and we have made MAJOR strides and I am confident Jandra will continue to help me until I conquer this crazy and many times unnerving roller coaster ride. The words that come to mind when I think about my time with Jandra include, highly knowledgeable, thoughtful, intuitive, savvy, innovative, responsive, smart, reliable, well connected, funny, relatable and genuinely interested and invested in my well being, just to name a few. I have learned that healthcare practitioners/therapists like Jandra are very few and far between and I don't know how I will ever be able to adequately articulate my appreciation for her extremely comprehensive and unique skillset. It is my great pleasure to give PHRC and Jandra the highest recommendation ever. In this case, Google's 5 stars are simply not enough. They are more in the 20 star arena!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I went to Jandra desperate for help with my pelvic organ prolapse after months of physical therapy at another location. Her comprehensive approach has been life-changing for me. I am back to daily runs thanks to the exercise/strength program Jandra designed for me. If you are looking for help with any pelvic floor issues look no further!

Experiencia fantástica: Jandra is so knowledgeable and supportive. Her approach is holistic and comprehensive. She has offered me support in ways other health care providers have not for my health challenges and I am profoundly grateful. If you are looking for a caring and innovative practitioner to support your pelvic health, Jandra is it!

Experiencia fantástica: When I began looking for a Physical Therapist, I consulted my niece who is a Pelvic Health PT in Arizona. She recommended PHRC and said that the practice was the best of the best. I was fortunate that there was an office in Encinitas and even more fortunate when I met Jandra Mueller. Jandra is one of the most knowledgeable practitioners I have met. Her approach to my sacral and back pain, which stems from several issues including a fall, a fracture, and structural aging issues, has been instrumental in relieving the majority of my pain. Not only has she provided stellar PT but has incorporated her vast knowledge of nutrition into my recovery. Equally important are her great communication skills and bedside manner which immediately put me at ease.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot express how much this practice has been a life saver for me. I started having pelvic pain issues in college and had seen countless urologists and obgyns, none of whom could quite figure out why I was experiencing so much chronic pain. At one point I could not imagine life without being in pain everyday. I found PHRC and was immediately diagnosed and thrown into a physical therapy program. I quickly improved and was able to get my life back after having to quit sports, stop running and training, and participating in various activities. I am beyond grateful to the therapists at this clinic, Jandra and Malinda in particular. Whenever I experience a flare, which are now few and far between, I know I am in good hands. I love the safe, friendly, and professional environment. And I appreciate the therapists and practice as a whole for truly caring about each aspect of their patients' health. I am now working with Jandra on nutrition and lifestyle changes to help manage my auto-inflammatory condition. She has been absolutely amazing, taking in all of my concerns and working with me to find the best treatment plans. You can tell how knowledgeable and dedicated she is to solving the problems her client's face. More than anything, I appreciate her dedication to researching every complicated detail whether it be for supplements, food, or lab testing. This has been something I have struggled to find in past practitioners. I feel very grateful to have her on my team and am confident she can help me get to a healthier and happier lifestyle managing my chronic illness.

Experiencia fantástica: Jandra Mueller at PHRC in Encinitas is your personal DR. HOUSE from TV fame. In other words, she will go further than any doctor or PT to figure out the actual source of your physical issues. She is an expert in nutrition, inflammation, spine, recovery, muscle conditioning and medication and knows how to ferret out what is really causing physical problems. I have met hundreds of people in the medical community but have never had a doctor or PT so interested in actually curing complex problems. If you have something that other doctors or PT's are not figuring out then you have 3 choices, 1. suffer, 2. watch House on TV and dream of having a healthcare practitioner of that caliber ... or 3. get in touch with Jandra. I had a complex surgery with a long recovery cycle and Jandra figured out the correct combination of PT, nutrition, rehab and exercise that put me back in the Game.

Experiencia fantástica: I started seeing Jandra after my first baby was born- she made my postpartum recovery so much easier! She is a wealth of knowledge and really explains everything in depth. I recently went back after my 2nd baby was born knowing how helpful she was after the first - she is an integral part of my postpartum recovery. Pelvic floor therapy should be more of the norm after giving birth. Highly recommend her!!

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred to Jandra after suffering from suspected endometriosis for over seven years. She has truly changed my life; I couldn't have understood what a difference the right treatment would make until after getting it. Within only a couple sessions, my pain was significantly reduced. Jandra also helped me make nutritional changes to get my extensive GI issues under control. However, it became clear that my endo was severe enough that I would require excision surgery. Jandra referred me to a surgeon who did a wonderful job, and 2 months post-op, I have just restarted physical therapy and I am doing fantastic. Jandra has been actively involved every step of the way. It is apparent how much she cares for her patients and facilitates the best outcome for every one of us. She takes the time to get to know her patients' conditions and tailor her care to what each individual needs. She and her entire team have taken amazing care of me, and I know I am in good hands with her.

Experiencia fantástica: I started with Jandra when I was about 20 weeks pregnant and decided I wanted to prioritize continuing my care throughout my pregnancy and oh my goodness, I am beyond thankful for her. We start every appointment with a check in and she asks detailed questions then makes care decisions based off of my needs. I have never once felt like she had an agenda for me. I love that I am involved in my care and it’s always a conversation. She is so flexible and throughout my pregnancy there have been weeks where I’ve expressed pain on certain areas like my hip or lower back and she’s addressed it immediately on top of showing me how I can continue that support for my body at home. I love Jandra’s passion for education. On top of all of this she is so encouraging, warm and kind. I honestly feel one of the factors towards having such an incredible pregnancy is due to how Jandra has supported my body and educated me in the process about so many things.

Experiencia fantástica: I’m incredibly grateful to Jandra and PHRC for helping me navigate a diagnosis of endometriosis as well as several other pelvic health concerns. Jandra has been so helpful, not only providing me with excellent physical therapy care and nutrition guidance, but also referring me to several providers in the area to help build my health care support team. I’m already seeing great improvements in my symptoms and I feel hopeful that I will continue to heal. For the first time in many years, I finally feel listened to and reassured that I am in excellent hands with my health care team. I would highly recommend Jandra and PHRC for anyone who is looking for a skilled, empathetic provider who also will support your overall health and wellness!

Experiencia fantástica: Jandra is so knowledgeable and supportive. Her approach is holistic and comprehensive. She has offered me support in ways other health care providers have not for my health challenges and I am profoundly grateful. If you are looking for a caring and innovative practitioner to support your pelvic health, Jandra is it!

Experiencia fantástica: I found Dr. Jandra Mueller at PHRC, Encinitas after 2 years of seeing clinician after clinician for my symptoms. She was able to diagnose my problem within our first two visits and come up with a comprehensive treatment plan. With providers in the past I've always felt rushed and left in the dark with my treatment. Jandra made sure that I understood what was going on, spent time with me, and was involved every step of the way. It is very rare to find the kind of patient care Jandra provides - she is caring, she listens, and she is invested in your health and recovery. It is obvious she is highly educated in her field and has consistently impressed me with the amount of knowledge she has every time I have questions. Jandra takes an innovative, holistic approach to healthcare. I came to her with the last hope intention of reducing my pelvic floor pain, but got so much more! She ended up connecting the dots of various health symptoms I’ve had for years that I wasn’t even expecting to work on with her. She completely changed my health and life and I’m so thankful. I have referred multiple people to Jandra and every one of them has had nothing but amazing things to say about her.

Experiencia fantástica: I started seeing Jandra prior to my surgery to remove Endometriosis & Adenomyosis over 2 years ago and I wish I would have met her sooner! I had no idea what pelvic floor PT was and I have learned so much from Jandra. She is so knowledgeable and has helped me go from living with daily pain to finally being pain free. Her recommendations on supplements and nutrition have been extremely helpful. She is so sweet and makes you feel comfortable from your first appointment. I can't express how much Jandra has changed my life for the better and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a caring physical therapist who will listen and help you achieve your goals.

Experiencia fantástica: Words cannot express how much PHRC has helped give me my life back! I was diagnosed with a rectal fissure in 2016. The fissure was not healing with treatment, so I got surgery for it. While the surgery helped with the fissure, I began to have horrible rectal spasms and sitting pains soon after that surgery. I went from doctor to doctor with no answers or treatment plan to help with the horrible pain I was having. After doing some online research on the possible causes of my pain, I came across PHRC. At the time I knew nothing about pelvic PT, so I thought I’d give it a try. That’s when I met Jandra Mueller. After telling her my symptoms, I assumed she would pass me on like other doctors had. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. Jandra was thorough, asked the right questions, and through her extensive physical examination was able to create a treatment plan to help with my symptoms. In addition to this, Jandra worked on setting me up for referrals to a qualified neurologist who quickly diagnosed my condition as pudendal neuralgia. With Jandra’s treatment plan and diagnosis, she was not only able to get me the right help and the right medical interventions. She also helped bring my pain down from a constant 5 to a 1 on most days. Since then, I have been able to sit longer, do more of the things I love, and enjoy life. If you are struggling with a pelvic health issue like mine or if you need someone who is knowledgeable, diligent, and proactive with treatment, seek out Jandra! I will always be grateful to her for helping me navigate such a complex medical condition. I would recommend PHRC and Jandra a thousand times over. You won’t find anyone else more qualified!

Experiencia negativa: The posted phone number does not connect you to the clinic…

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Jandra has changed my life. I have struggled with not only pelvic floor issues, but Thyroid and GI health as well. I have seen many doctors and practitioners over the years; all of which have given me no insight and often left me feeling hopeless. I trust Jandra so much more with my health than any doctor I have ever met. Her education on nutrition as well as pelvic health have been invaluable to me and she is a true asset to the PT community. She is passionate about her work and uses an integrative and holistic approach to healing. I encourage anyone who might be out there struggling to know that there are people who can help you begin the road to recovery.

Experiencia fantástica: I have pudendal neuralgia caused by a surgical procedure. When it first started I did not know how I could live through all the pain. Thankfully, after a lot of Drs and mistreatment I found a Dr who helped me, and then sent me to Stephanie Prendergast. Over the last 10 years Stephanie has helped me get out and mostly stay out of pain. If you are suffering, please go to get help here. It changed my life and it can change yours. Thank God for this care!!

Experiencia fantástica: PHRC has highly trained knowledgeable staff who helped me when I was out of other options. I highly recommend them for the unusual and/or embarrassing condition.

Experiencia fantástica: It is not hyperbole to state that Stephanie Prendergast/PHRC changed my life! I had been from pillar to post, seen numerous doctors and health care practitioners, and had been down many blind alleys over the course of several years -- all without success. Stephanie and her referrals got me to the root of my issue. It was worth every minute of the many drives to Los Angeles over the course of six months. I cannot praise Stephanie enough and am forever indebted and am thrilled to learn that PHRC is opening in Encinitas.

Experiencia fantástica: Pelvic Health and Rehabilitation has really changed my life! I’ve lived with a diagnosis of sciatica for 20 years. I’ve had lots of ortho PT, which helped minimally. My daughter has similar pain and was referred to a pelvic PT. She felt so much better, that she suggested I try it. I’m so glad I listened to her! I see improvement after every session. Katie, my PT, is fantastic! She zeroed in on my problem quickly, explains everything clearly, and has a great way of helping me visualize how to do my home exercises.

Experiencia fantástica: While I have not been a patient at the Encinitas clinic, I have been seen in San Francisco for many years. Not only has this special form of pelvic PT helped me climb out of the occasional pain relapse, it has helped me maintain a relatively pain-free life. Over the years I have seen several PTs, and without exception they are highly skilled and highly caring.

Experiencia fantástica: So grateful i found these people! Although my pelvic pain is an ongoing battle i made significant progress during my time with them, and learned so much in terms of techniques and exercises that i still use today. They’re highly skilled and knowledgeable!

Experiencia fantástica: I was reluctant to try physical therapy after having pain and bladder issues for several years. Beginning at the first appointment with PHRC my therapist made me feel at ease. My recovery look time but the therapists I saw were all kind, patient, and made me feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. Best if all I saw results and am living pain free now. I would recommend to anyone who is having pelvic issues.

Experiencia fantástica: I haven’t had the opportunity of actually using this facility however the information they have made available has been very relevant to my circumstances. In the past I experienced, A very stressful event, a head on collision, and a UTI . Any combination of which eventually created debilitating pain in my groin. I experienced this pain at various levels for over 20 years without any real relief or explanation. Finally through self research I found Cleveland Clinic. This facility explained all about trigger points in the pelvic floor and how it can be felt in other areas of the male body all below the belt. I was fortunate to find a pelvic floor specialist in my area who has been using a soften, lengthen, and loosen strategy for the last few years. This site has given me valuable information with its postings that reinforce what my physical therapist has brought to mind
