Marina Youssef

(PT, DPT, RYT)

Marina is passionate about creating access to the knowledge she has about pelvic and women’s health in order to help individuals find healing and joy through their bodies. Marina feels that in all realms of life, but especially in physical therapy, knowledge is power. By understanding how our bodies work, individuals can independently maintain long term therapeutic gains in remaining pain free, strong, and mobile.

Marina treats female pelvic floor dysfunctions that include pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunctions and is especially passionate about serving the pre, peri, and postpartum individual. She supports new mothers and parents by meeting them where they are at and utilizing manual interventions, therapeutic exercise, breath work, and yoga to restore optimal function of your pelvic floor.

When she is not treating patients, Marina can be found either teaching or practicing yoga, riding her peloton, spending time with her sisters and cat, reading, and traveling.
