Hi! I’m Kaite Ihlenfeldt, a Doctor of Physical Therapy graduate from the University of Florida and a pelvic floor specialist dedicated to helping women overcome pelvic pain and dysfunction, pregnancy discomfort, and postpartum challenges through specialized pelvic floor physical therapy.

I was born and raised in Florida and while doing my undergraduate degree in Biology with a focus on ecological sciences, I unintentionally developed a passion for exercise science and working out. What started as a college gym obsession turned into competing in powerlifting, joining a CrossFit gym, and becoming a coach and university gym group fitness instructor. I LOVED how empowering it felt to be strong and wanted to be able to help others feel that way too. I truly believe movement is medicine; that we can use movement and exercise not only to physically heal but to emotionally and mentally heal and grow. So, although I graduated with a biology degree, with the intention to be a marine biologist, I instead went on to get my doctorate in physical therapy.

I’ve always had a passion for treating the pelvic floor; I loved the complexity and importance of this specialty for women’s quality of life. Then after going through two pregnancies, the intensity of labor and delivery, and the transformative (and challenging) postpartum period, my understanding of pelvic health shifted. I experienced firsthand the questions that arise when your body feels different, the patience required for recovery, and the sheer strength it takes to navigate the physical and emotional demands of motherhood.

No matter where you are in your journey, whether you are preparing for birth, years into your postpartum life, or dealing with other pelvic health issues, I am here to support you with a steady hand and a heart that truly understands.
