Dr. Kathy Pesavento

Dr. Pesavento has been in practice for over 25 years, graduating with high academic honors and a Masters of Science in Physical Therapy from University of Miami School of Medicine, Dept of Physical Therapy and then a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Shenandoah University. Her undergraduate degree was a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology from Lehigh University. For many years Dr. Pesavento has exclusively worked on pelvic, low back, hip and abdominal issues, although her early roots were in orthopedics and biomechanics. Her specialty training has included: pelvic floor dysfunction, incontinence (urinary and fecal), pelvic organ prolapse, constipation, chronic pelvic pain, interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome, overactive bladder, levator ani syndrome, pudendal nerve entrapment and neuralgia, coccydynia, dyspareunia (pain with intercourse), vaginismus, post-operative pain and scarring (hysterectomy, oopherectomy, episiotomy, cesarean or c-section, etc.), pregnancy/postpartum management, and vulvovaginal disease (ie. vulvodynia, lichen sclerosis/ planus, vestibulodynia). Her background in biomechanics and orthopedics has proven to be a perfect complement to these women’s health conditions as most, if not all of them, coexist with other musculoskeletal issues, such as low back and hip pain and dysfunction, and improper pelvic alignment.
