Hunt Valley, Sparks and Monkton
Why northern Baltimore County patients choose video.
Northern Baltimore County is horse country: steeplechase races each spring, fox hunting over rolling farmland, and the Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail following the Gunpowder Falls through Sparks and Monkton. Hunt Valley adds offices, shopping and the I-83 commute. Riding, mucking stalls and long trail runs are hard on backs, hips and pelvic floors. Hip and back pain, leaking with riding or running, and prolapse are the reasons people here most often book.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Maryland: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
