success stories
“I knew I wasn’t prepared to give birth to my first baby so we invested in the OB program. Tanya helped me not only prepare my pelvic floor for labor but also my mindset. She gave us excellent resources to use in the labor process and really helped me feel confident, prepared, and best equipped for labor. I credit an easy and fast postpartum recovery to the prep work Tanya gave me beforehand. I would 10/10 recommend it. Knowledge is power and what I learned from Tanya is going to be knowledge and tools I use forever! ”

“I couldn’t recommend Tanya more! Not only does she give you undivided attention during your appointment, she truly cares about follow-up care. From emails checking in to problem-solving at later appointments, Tanya goes above and beyond. What I was most impressed by was her ability to pinpoint my area of pain and find stretches and exercises that I could continue to use on my own. When I first walked in her doors, I didn’t even know how to explain how I was feeling. Through the course of her thoughtful interview process, she nailed it! So thankful for the work Tanya does helping women feel empowered in their bodies!” – Emily G
“It was great to gain knowledge in how to recover from having my 4th child. Becoming familiar with breathing techniques, retraining my brain, and strengthening my pelvic floor was such a win. It was great to not feel alone, and well supported working through the postpartum beginning weeks.” – Mollie
“I am so thankful for the timing in finding Tanya at Refine Physical Therapy. I was expecting my first baby and did the OB package (virtually, I’m from Michigan!) I absolutely loved working with Tanya, she is kind, professional, and really easy to talk to. I was so impressed with what she could help me with even though I was in a different state! We went through how to workout safely while pregnant, what to expect for labor & delivery with exercises & positions to help me through, and then navigating postpartum. I felt so much more confident going into labor and I had the help I needed to recover my pelvic floor. I am thankful for her perspective on how amazing our bodies were created and I would work with her again in a heartbeat.” – Tabetha
“I appreciated my time with Tanya. As a newly pregnant woman, I wasn’t sure what all I needed to know/do when it came to making sure my body was taken care of to the best of my ability during my pregnancy. To be honest, I didn’t really think that going to a women’s PT was necessary; but I’ll be the first to say it is, before, during, and after labor and delivery. I had some “dribbling” when working out prior to getting pregnant which always worried me and made me feel like something was wrong. I knew that going to Tanya, someone with lots of knowledge and experience on the subject and someone I respect and trust was needed. Tanya gave me exercises to do during pregnancy as well as met with my husband and I to coach us through how to be the best team during my L&D. She also made me feel more knowledgeable on the subject and assured me of my rights and to always ask questions and only do what I was comfortable with. I had the best L&D experience…nothing like you see on the movies which I totally feared!!! I owe a lot of this to Tanya. I also met with Tanya post-partum and will say I now have ZERO leaking..even after having leaking before getting pregnant and have now given birth, and vaginally might I add. THANK YOU Tanya for investing in women and their bodies. I so appreciate you!”

“It was such a pleasure to work with Tanya. I chose her OB package + I’m so thankful I did! She helped me relearn how to breathe correctly and activate my pelvic floor muscles. I’m sure that one of the main reasons I didn’t suffer from major ab separation was because of her. Tanya gave me plenty of tips for getting back into working out postpartum as well which has been a huge lifesaver! The appointments were informative & she was always quick to answer any questions I had outside of the appointments as well. Overall, I would highly recommend the OB package with Tanya!”

Before this program I was overwhelmed by the size and extent of my diastasis. It seemed like something that I could never fix so I should just learn to live with it. While it didn’t limit my daily activities or function, I wasn’t doing it any favors with what I was doing. I didn’t know how to perform daily activities and exercises safely. Since taking this course, I feel much less overwhelmed by healing my diastasis. I have the tools I need to safely perform daily movements so not only am I not making my diastasis worse but also improving it every day. Tanya is amazing at explaining things in a way that are understandable and manageable. I took Tanya’s Pelvic Core class and loved the results, I was so excited when she offered this program so I could improve and learn even more. I loved how practical the exercises are for daily movements. My core has been something I have struggled with since having four c-sections and after this program, I feel my core is the strongest it has been since before kids. I have less back pain and my posture has improved. I am so thankful for Tanya and this program! – Jodi
I had the opportunity to be under the care of Tanya. I was very impressed with her knowledge of my condition and the type of physical therapy she recommended has been extremely beneficial. She did not require more visits than were necessary and the results have been amazing for me in a short period of time. I highly recommend Tanya and would not hesitate to see her again. – D.
“The OB package was the best decision I ever made in regards to pelvic floor and abdominal health during and after pregnancy! I was skeptical at first because of how bad a tear I had with my first delivery and how uncomfortable recovery was for me. However, I gave it a try and was SHOCKED at the results. Dr. Rowenhorst worked with my specific body type and my specific concerns to help heal me from my first delivery and go into my second delivery with confidence that I can recover. The exercises were so easy and not at all time-consuming given I have a two-year-old and newborn to run after! I had a third-degree tear with my first, only a first-degree with my second. My pushing time went from two hours with my first to two pushes total on my second! The gap between my abdominal muscles went from 2.5 cm to 1 and is still shrinking! A plus was that she was completely comfortable with me bringing my babies to the appointments given I have no one to help watch them. I highly, highly recommend her programs. She cares so much about the individual and their concerns and she won’t stop until you’re functioning the way God made you to function!”

“Working with Tanya for the OB package gave me the tools to experience minimal discomfort throughout my pregnancy and postpartum period. She helped me feel confident in my recovery and healing from an unexpected c-section. With my previous pregnancy, I struggled with back pain and experienced pelvic floor issues postpartum. With Tanya’s guidance, I was able to remain active during this pregnancy while protecting and strengthening my pelvic floor and core which helped to prevent any symptoms of prolapse and pelvic floor weakness postpartum. Tanya was attentive to details and answered any questions I had. She always spoke truth and encouragement over me as a mama, as well!”

Tanya, I was so impressed with all the knowledge and information you gave us verbally while we were there. I am a person who loves to understand the why of what we do and you were so thorough in explaining everything. I was so thankful for the follow-up visit summary email you sent which we could refer to when we didn’t remember everything you had told us at the appointment. You were so thorough that we didn’t even need to return for more appointments! Great service and a great value!! – Rachel
When my teen daughter started experiencing knee pain and our local doctor recommended PT, we decided to make an appointment with Tanya. I’m so thankful we did! She immediately made my daughter feel welcome and we were impressed with how thorough her assessment was. My daughter appreciated that Tanya took her time making sure she was comfortable with each exercise and knew how to do them correctly. We never felt rushed, which was so nice! Tanya truly cares for everyone she treats and is a blessing to have in our community! – Sarah
“It’s not easy for me to spend money on myself, but after having three pregnancies close together, I knew I needed some help and the OB package (and an add-on appointment the week of Christmas she squeezed in for me) was exactly what I needed! Tanya was able to treat and instruct on some pain I have dealt with during each pregnancy. I am so thankful to have found the problem and relief! The labor prep appointment with my husband was a great review of techniques we’d used before and put my husband at ease to review them in person with someone before the big day! During my postpartum appointments, Tanya was so patient as I nursed my two-week-old baby and really took the time to listen to my questions or concerns. It was so great to work with someone who could really spend some time with me! When I would say something less than loving toward my body, she gently reminded me of the work my good body had just done and empathized because she’s been there too. I really appreciated her boldness to speak God’s Truth to me and always walked out of my appointment encouraged – with a renewed perspective about my body and practical ways to care for it. She made me feel comfortable and not ashamed of my postpartum body as she watched to make sure I was doing the exercises correctly. I thoroughly enjoyed my appointments with Tanya and absolutely recommend any of her services!”

“I originally started the OB package with Tanya to get pain management during pregnancy with my ribs and lower back. She was so attentive and intentional about designing a program that fit my needs for pain management and what we hoped for during labor and delivery. During my prenatal visits, Tanya thoroughly explained how and why each exercise and manipulation were important. My husband and I highly appreciated the information she gave us during our second prenatal visit. When it came time for labor and delivery of our little girl, we were able to use the manual techniques Tanya provided us with ease. As a result, our daughter was safely brought into the world in 1/3 of the time that our firstborn had been. In addition, labor was more comfortable because we were able to help babe get into the correct positioning for delivery using Tanya’s manual techniques. I also did not experience as much tearing during this delivery as I had with my first. Through her whole package and visits, Tanya was a blessing to work with. We appreciated her genuine care and prayer over our pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum experiences. I would strongly recommend Tanya’s services in meeting your prenatal and postpartum needs and goals.”

“Tanya’s pelvic core class was beneficial on many levels. She walks you through a few exercises each week, building each week to strengthen and build your focus on using the correct muscles. Tanya also gives a lot of additional information on the Facebook group page. You can tell she is very passionate about helping women. I personally noticed changes/strengthening within the first week! As a chiropractor and a mom, this is a class that I will recommend to my patients as well as my mom friends! Thanks, Tanya!”

“Incontinence is something that I thought I was just going to have to live with and that it was just “something that happened” to all women after having children. Then I started seeing and reading Tanya’s posts on social media and I was interested in learning how to help the incontinence issues I was experiencing as well as the lower back pain and some other things she would mention. That’s when I knew that these issues were not things that women just had to deal with. They were issues that could be resolved and fixed! So I invested in and trusted in Tanya’s professional advice and signed up for her online course! I am so glad that I did! I am almost 7 months postpartum with my third baby in less than five years and I can say that I rarely have low back pain anymore and I can tell that my muscles are getting stronger! Mamas, these things aren’t things that you HAVE to deal with forever. In fact, gaining knowledge and understanding of how our bodies work during the miracle of pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond is something, I think, every woman should do!”

“Tanya was a great asset to me during my pregnancy and after. She used muscle mobilization to help relieve pain that I was having during my pregnancy plus exercises to help build strength. I didn’t think it was possible while pregnant to fix issues I was having, but she made them much easier to deal with. After having my 2nd boy, she was also there to get me moving in the way I wanted to. I was skeptical about online therapy, but it met more of my expectations. Tanya was there throughout the whole process and was easy to access. I no way did you ever feel alone and just as another client. Thank you Tanya for making me feel strong and capable!”

“Tanya was an incredible resource for us during our pregnancy. All of our friends and family told us that dealing with pain and discomfort in pregnancy was viewed as the “norm”. Tanya dedicated her time and talents to educate me on how to improve my levels of pain throughout my pregnancy! She assisted my husband with hands-on learning so that he could better support me during labor and delivery with comfort techniques, as well as detailed explanations of how pregnancy and birth affect my body. She took the time to work through any questions that I or my husband had.
Because we purchased the OB Package that Tanya offers, I was able to not only get assistance through my pregnancy, but also during my postpartum time! Tanya helped me while I was pregnant with exercises to strengthen my core and pelvic floor, and then we added more on after delivery. I am extremely thankful for Tanya and all she did to help me have the best pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience possible! I recommend Tanya’s services for any woman in their pregnancy, even if they aren’t experiencing any difficulties. Tanya’s care is positive, preventative, and informative!”

“I experienced a 28 hour, somewhat traumatic labor with my first son that ended with an emergency c-section. When I became pregnant with my second son 18 months later, I was thrilled to discover Dr. Tanya’s OB package. During our prenatal visits, Tanya helped my husband and me prepare to attempt to have a vaginal birth after cesarian (VBAC). She was extremely encouraging and provided us with tools to feel empowered during the labor of our second son. We were able to have a successful VBAC, and Tanya followed-up with postpartum visits that were personally designed for me to move and feel my best. I truly recommend Refine Physical Therapy to any expecting or postpartum mom; Tanya’s values shine through her work and she will genuinely design a program that best fits you.”
