Questions
Questions from Culver City and Playa Vista
Can I do a visit from the office?
Yes, from any private room with a door that closes. Home is easiest for the first visit, which uses a little floor space.
Do you treat diastasis recti?
Yes. Abdominal separation after pregnancy is evaluated by video, and the plan rebuilds core strength and pressure management step by step.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
