Stevensville, Florence and Lolo
Why Stevensville, Florence and Lolo patients choose video.
The north end of the Bitterroot has turned into Missoula's commuter belt: new houses on old pasture around Florence, Stevensville's historic Main Street, horse properties and hay fields along the Eastside Highway, and the Lee Metcalf refuge along the river. Highway 93 is packed at both ends of the day, so a midday appointment in town can eat half a workday. Many households have a toddler and another baby on the way. The usual reasons to book from here are postpartum recovery, ab separation, bladder leaking and low back pain.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Montana: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.

Questions
Questions from Stevensville, Florence and Lolo
When can postpartum pelvic floor therapy start after a birth in Missoula?
Many people start around six weeks after birth, once the postpartum check is done. Earlier visits for education and gentle exercise are possible, and the baby can be in the room, with breaks for a feed.
Do you treat ab separation after a second or third baby?
Yes. Diastasis recti is treated by video with breathing, core and pelvic floor work built around lifting toddlers and car seats. Treatment can start months or years after the birth.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
