Kailua
Why Kailua patients choose video.
Kailua is active: paddling, running, surfing, lifting. Pelvic floor symptoms are common among athletic women and men and are often treated as something to live with. Video visits make it easy to start, and the program is built around the sports patients actually do.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Hawaii: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
