Why Choose the R.I.S.E. Method?
Dr. Ellsworth's extensive training in Movement System Impairment from Washington University in St. Louis, combined with her personal journey through pelvic floor challenges and her experience treating over 1,000 women, culminated in the creation of this unique method.

Personalized Care: Tailored strategies that address your specific movement impairments and health goals.
Holistic Approach: Focuses on restoring function across multiple body regions for comprehensive healing.
Proven Results: Clients have experienced significant improvements, such as reduced diastasis recti measurements and alleviation of pelvic pain.
What Is the R.I.S.E. Method?
The R.I.S.E. Method is a comprehensive treatment strategy that addresses pelvic floor dysfunction and diastasis recti by focusing on the entire body, including the shoulders, spine, hips, core, and pelvic floor. It encompasses four key phases:
Release: Alleviate tension in overactive muscles.
Isolate: Target and engage underactive or weakened muscles.
Strengthen: Build resilience and power in isolated muscles.
Evolve: Integrate newfound strength into daily movements and activities.
