Dinah has a special focused lens through which to evaluate patient motor patterns by combining orthopedic and pelvic floor assessment skills for full muscular patterning. She has found adding pelvic floor training for pediatric enuresis in addition to men’s health and women’s health, from pregnancy through menopause, to be clinically rewarding. Through the Pivot She and Pivot Fit programming, Dinah is embracing new treatment opportunities.
