At Nesin Therapy, our approach to physical therapy is truly different. We are committed to one-on-one care by our licensed and highly skilled physical therapists and physical therapist assistants.
Throughout the history of Nesin Physical Therapy, it seems that circumstances come together to allow us to help our patients when they need us the most. Our start in pelvic health was no different.
From treating at one of the first pelvic health outpatient programs in California to fellowships with the Institute of Physical Art, both of the Nesins had experience in treating pelvic floor dysfunction prior to opening their first outpatient clinic in 1999. Although primarily an orthopedic clinic practicing manual techniques, the Nesins knew in order to fully understand an orthopedic condition, like low back pain, you needed to consider the pelvic floor!
Because of their expertise in manual therapy and ability to address complex pelvic health issues, Nesin began to quickly expand their referral base to include pelvic floor conditions from providers across Alabama. And thus, our reputation as a leader in pelvic health physical therapy in this region was born, and we have continued to pursue expertise in this specialty ever since.
As one clinic expanded to three clinics each with hefty pelvic caseloads, it was clear that it was time to expand again, this time to open a clinic devoted exclusively to the treatment of patients with pelvic health conditions.
Nesin Therapy values excellence, collaboration, life-long learning, integrity and nurturing. The company implements these values daily through it’s leadership team and staff in order to provide the highest quality physical therapy services.
Nesin’s vision is to set the standard of excellence for the world as a model physical therapy practice. The mission of the company is to improve the health and well-being of our clients and community while securing a stable business environment that nurtures professional and personal growth for our employees. Our leadership team plays a vital role in ensuring the success of the company and its employees.
What got you interested in pelvic health?
I became interested in pelvic health from my PT school years when we had a guest lecture talk about bladder and pregnancy conditions PT’s could treat. I was amazed by our profession’s role in pelvic healing and decided to explore further with a pelvic specialty internship before graduating. So down the rabbit hole I went and I haven’t looked back since!
What are some of your top favorite patient populations/conditions to treat?
I love working with chronic pelvic pain patients and providing tools for them to regain control of their lives. I also like treating male pelvic conditions as well. And I really like all things poop, but especially constipation. It’s so much more complex than “did you poop today?”
What’s your favorite comfort food?
Chocolate or lemon anything
Favorite TV binge?
The Walking Dead
Favorite indoor or outdoor activity?
I love running, even when I’m not loving it, I love it
What’s your guilty pleasure?Microwave popcorn, when done, poured immediately in a bowl, add M&Ms on top and shake gently to distribute. The chocolate inside the shell melts from the popcorn warmth. Eat as fast as you can so the chocolate doesn’t cool and harden. It is perfection.
What got you interested in pelvic health?
As an outpatient orthopedic physical therapist I expanded my knowledge of the pelvic floor’s role in core stabilization, low back, hip, or lower extremity pain and realized the pelvic floor can be the primary cause or at least a part of the puzzle to improve someones core/lower body strength or pain. Turns out there are a lot of people I can help. This goes back to the root reason I am a Physical Therapist, I want to help people. I want to enable people to live their life with less pain and be able to move their bodies through life with less obstacles and more ease.
What are some of your top favorite patient populations/conditions to treat?
This is a hard question. I feel like I have a lot of favorites. Some of my top favorite patient populations to treat are people with bladder incontinence or bowel constipation. Individuals who have low back pain, hip pain, or leg pain due to pelvic floor dysfunction. Women through the span of life stages, especially patients who are postpartum or women who have pain with intercourse (dysparenuria).

You mean in addition to chasing around a toddler? In addition to chasing around a toddler, I like cooking and meal prepping. Self care activities inside include yoga and journaling. Journaling sometimes turns into a songwriting and acoustic guitar session. I can play my guitar inside or outside! I love my daughter and love to spend time playing with my daughter outside. We go through a lot of sidewalk chalk and bubbles. I like to golf also - it’s a dose of outdoors, relaxing, and feeds my competitive side.

What got you interested in pelvic health?
I avoided pelvic health for the first several years of practicing. After a few years, I started noticing that my orthopedic patients had overlapping pelvic floor dysfunction that needed to be addressed. They started getting better! I began treating pelvic floor more extensively once I began at Nesin and love it! Turns out, I love to talk to people about their pee and poop.

Overall I had a great experience. I recently had a baby and was having some pelvic issues along with hip pain. I honestly did not know what to expect from pelvic therapy and was very nervous about the internal side of it all. The women were very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable during the process. During each session my therapist told me exactly what we were going to do and how it would be done which put my anxiety at ease. They provided me with great exercises and material that I can use at home to reach my goals with pain relief. The office was always willing to adjust my appointments to work around my busy schedule with work and a new baby. I appreciate all that these ladies did to help on my journey to pain relief.
After having bladder removal surgery and a bladder replaced with a neobladder, NESIN Pelvic Health Clinic has been a major part of me getting back to a “new” normal life by working with me to strengthen my core body and strengthening my pelvic floor. They listen to my needs and worked diligently to help me achieve my goals. I would highly recommend this group to anyone needing help to getting your physical health back!
The staff at Nesin Pelivc Health are absolutely amazing. They go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable in what could be a intimidated situation for some. They are fantastic at making sure you understand what’s going on and giving you the skills you need to build a good foundation to continue even after you’ve completed your course. 10/10 recommend.
Nesin Pelvic Health made a huge difference in my pregnancy. I experienced terrible back and pelvic pain from about 16 weeks. The treatment I received at Nesin was incredible. I was able to reduce my pain, learn strategies to function better, and prepare myself for labor and delivery. I feel so much stronger now than I did when I started treatment. Everyone on their staff is compassionate and knowledgeable. I recommend pelvic PT for any expecting mamas out there.
What an amazing experience! The ladies of Nesin Pelvic Health were instrumental in helping me heal and recover from a traumatic delivery and repair. Each of them made me feel so comfortable, and they equipped me with the knowledge to continue my therapy at home. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone, and I plan to return during my next pregnancy.
After I have seen Nesin Pelvic Health for few months, I have felt a lot better and almost recovered; my pain and frequent urination issues almost gone. Thank you very much Nesin Pelvic Health, especially Ms. Gloria Favor, Dr. Meredith Taylor , and Dr. Lisa English, for all your helps and professionalism to treat me. The staffs are professional, helpful and ready to help.
Nesin pelvic health is awesome. Every single person I saw wanted the best for me and my health. They are so personable and accommodating! If you are in need of pelvic floor pt this is the place to go!
