Severna Park and Arnold
Why Severna Park and Arnold patients choose video.
Severna Park and Arnold sit between the Magothy and Severn rivers, with creekside neighborhoods, community piers and the B&A Trail running down the middle. Families juggle rec sports, swim team and summer weekends on the water, and every appointment in Annapolis or Baltimore adds another drive on I-97 or Route 50. People here tend to book for pregnancy aches, postpartum recovery, prolapse symptoms after a second or third baby, and knee pain from running the trail.
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 Severna Park and Arnold
Can prolapse after several pregnancies be treated by video?
Yes. Pelvic organ prolapse symptoms are treated one-on-one by video with pressure management, breathing and strength work for lifting children, groceries and gear for the boat.
Can visits continue from a summer rental in Ocean City?
Yes, because Ocean City is in Maryland. The patient must be physically in the state at the time of each visit, so a beach rental in Delaware would not work. A phone with a camera and a private room are enough.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
