Hello everyone!
Bethany Vitko here. I’m an occupational therapist (OT) specializing in all things women’s health.
My love for the specialty started during clinical rotations at a women’s health and healing center, where I was introduced to pelvic floor, breast cancer, and lymphedema rehabilitation. Before graduation, I became certified in lymphatic therapy and soon after pursued pelvic floor education.
I’m passionate about helping women navigate the changes that occur throughout our life stages. Regarding rehabilitation, I’m especially passionate about core rehab and manual therapies including visceral manipulation, manual lymph drain, and myofascial release to decrease symptoms like diastasis recti or pain, maximize outcomes post-surgery, and improve people’s movement/quality of life. I always try to pair this with teaching you how daily activities, sleep, exercise, stress, and movement patterns impact pain and progress, and how to modify them to decrease symptoms-that’s “OT”!
I obtained my Master’s of Occupational Therapy from College of Saint Mary. My continuing education includes Certified Lymphatic Therapist, Visceral Manipulation, Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation, Prenatal Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist, Universal Design, Functional Nutrition for Optimal Fertility through the Integrative Women’s Health Institute, and much more.
