Irvington, Alameda and Laurelhurst
Why Irvington, Alameda and Laurelhurst patients choose video.
These are big-porch, old-house neighborhoods full of young families: strollers along NE Broadway, laps around the pond in Laurelhurst Park, toddlers visiting the Ramona Quimby statue in Grant Park. Many parents juggle careers on top of all that and have little appetite for a cross-town drive and a waiting room. Pregnancy pain, recovery after a second or third baby, diastasis recti and leaking with jumping are common reasons people here book.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Oregon: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.

Questions
Questions from Irvington, Alameda and Laurelhurst
Can the baby stay on the mat during a postpartum visit?
Yes. Many postpartum visits happen with a baby in the room, and a session can pause for a feed whenever needed. The home program is planned around naps.
Are there visit times that work around school pickup in Northeast Portland?
Yes. Early morning, evening and weekend times are available, and follow-ups run 45 minutes, so a visit fits between drop-off and a work call or after the kids are asleep.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
