Ellicott City, Clarksville and Glenelg
Why Ellicott City, Clarksville and Glenelg patients choose video.
Ellicott City pairs an old mill-town Main Street, rebuilt after the 2016 and 2018 floods, with cul-de-sacs off Route 40 and horse farms west of Route 32 in Glenelg and Glenwood. Families move here for the schools, and evenings fill with travel soccer, swim meets and homework, with Patapsco Valley State Park trails saved for weekends. Video visits fit between all of it. Pregnancy pelvic pain, postpartum recovery, leaking with exercise and ongoing pelvic pain round out the usual reasons people here book.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Maryland: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.

Questions
Questions from Ellicott City, Clarksville and Glenelg
Will video work from a farmhouse in western Howard County?
Usually. Cellular data often works when the home connection is slow, and a phone or laptop with a camera is enough. A private room and floor space for a mat complete the setup.
Can pregnancy pelvic pain be treated by video from Ellicott City?
Yes. Pelvic girdle pain, pubic bone pain and low back pain during pregnancy are treated one-on-one by video, with positions and exercises adjusted as the pregnancy progresses.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
