It's hard to know where to begin when it comes to explaining the level of care and compassion I've been shown when receiving treatments with Oksana Silva. I started seeking treatment with her when I was just over 30 weeks pregnant and I wasn't exactly sure what to expect when it came to doing therapy while being pregnant, but she was extremely informative and welcoming! After my first visit with her I was so excited to start my treatments with her because I could see just how enthusiastic, knowledgeable and encouraging she was from the very beginning! There were times I was unsure of myself but everytime I left my appointments I always felt reassured and confident that I was capable of having my baby and I was doing the best I could! I was raving about her to all my pregnant friends and to my family because working with her really did make all the difference! She helped me on so many levels, not just physically! I stand by recommending her 100% and I plan to continue treatments with her once I'm able to get myself back on track!

I really couldn't be grateful enough and words really can't express my gratitude and appreciation! You can tell she loves her job and is passionate about what she does and it shows not just through her words but with her actions and work, as well! I could go on and on but I hope this shows even just a fraction of my experience with her, even for just the few weeks I was able to work with her!

Being 31 years old and having small kids, I never thought that I wouldn't get to play with my kids like I want because of bladder issues. I always said that I am too young for the issues that I am having but had no idea what to do about them. One of my kids' favorite things for us to do is jump on the trampoline. Since I have had kids, the trampoline has become a nuisance and avoidance due to my bladder leakage. My 3 year old would ask if I had to go potty every time I got on the trampoline because she was so used to me doing one good jump and having to run to the bathroom even if I peed just before getting on the trampoline. She knew that was the end of the fun mommy time. I thought this was just a "normal mommy thing" after having 2 vaginal births and would just have to live with it. After finally talking to my OB-GYN about it after 5 years, she mentioned pelvic floor therapy and also a non-surgical procedure that wouldn't be a permanent solution and that insurance would not cover. I looked into the pelvic floor therapy but just didn't think that I would have time for it. ELEVEN MONTHS LATER, I decided that I was tired of leaking all over myself when playing softball, jumping on the trampoline, sneezing, and coughing.

I have been seeing Oksana for Pelvic Floor Therapy for 8 sessions now. She has been so helpful! She is passionate and caring and truly takes in all the information that is given. She lets me know that this is not an abnormal problem to have which is comforting. She explains that this isn't an overnight fix and will take time. I had no idea that there are so many components of bladder function. As awkward as it could be getting a pelvic exam (let's be honest, it's awkward no matter how many paps you have had in your lifetime) I have never felt uncomfortable. She gives me exercises to do throughout the week between in-office sessions and really makes sure that I understand how to properly do the exercises prior to leaving the office. I have enjoyed being able to work on this with her. I cannot wait to be able to jump on the trampoline with my girls for longer than 3 bounces. I won't have to worry about wearing a pad when I play softball or if I want to go play with my kids. This woman is awesome!

I highly recommend Oksana. When I was cleared to exercise after delivering my 3rd baby, I am so thankful I went to see her first. I have 3 children 4 years old and younger, pelvic PT has gotten me back to running postpartum without any pelvic issues. Oksana met me where I was, and she helped me work from there…even if I was not able to do my exercises every day. I knew if childcare was an issue, she would be flexible for that, too. I am so thankful I finally took that time for me, and I wish I had started before delivering my first baby!

I came to Oksana with absolutely no idea what to expect. I had never heard of pelvic floor PT, but after years of issues my OB referred me to her and I decided to give it a shot. She took the time to listen to all of my concerns and let me know that I am not alone and that everything will get better. She made me feel so comfortable before and during our sessions and has been hyping me up since day one! She takes the time to explain what she’s doing and how I can maintain our progress on my own at home. Because of Oksana I’ve seen incredible improvement and would recommend anyone to her!

I truly love seeing Oksana for my pelvic floor therapy. She is extremely kind, personable while still holding a high standard of professionalism, and immensely passionate about helping her clients achieve their best selves within their body.

For the past almost 2 years, she has been along side me, pushing me and fighting for my health in order to help me have better control over my weakened pelvic floor after childbirth. It's still a work- in- progress, but Oksana is the best at working with you and trying to find the best treatment plan for your body.

A few months ago I started Seeing Oksana. What brought me to her was that not only does she specialize in ortho she also specializes in pelvic floor therapy which was amazing to hear given that I DESPERATELY needed to see a PFT due to postpartum as well as other issues. My husband recommended me to her and although I was nervous and hesitant due to being scared, I made the jump and made an appointment to see her. The appointment process was super easy. When I initially saw her, she made sure that I felt safe and most importantly she made sure I felt comfortable not only by talking to her about my history but also performing the exam. she talked me through each step before and during the exam. She instructed me on how to breath and move through the exercises and how to align the mind to the muscle. I didn’t know about this until I was in that situation. It’s mind blowing to understand how the mind and body work and connect. Any question (which I had ALOT) I had she knew the answer to and she explained it to where I fully understood and if I did feel that I wasn’t grasping it, she would explain it again until I understood. I must say Her bedside manner is incredible. she will absolutely make you feel at home. Oksana is the most profound, professional, caring, respectful and intelligent pelvic physical therapist I have ever met. She is so passionate about spreading awareness about her field of career and hopefully more women will hear about her and not feel like all hope is lost. Because, that is exactly how I felt in the beginning and now that I have graduated, I do believe that there is hope and a light at the end of the tunnel. Oksana made me feel whole again and allowed me to grow and feel like a woman again: by that I mean i have gained a lot more confidence. I hope other women seeing this understand that YOU ARE NOT ALONE, yes , although things feel weird or not normal, rest assured it can be fixed with with an awesome therapist, TIME & PATIENCE. I 10000x would recommend her to anyone struggling with anything ortho or pelvic related.

Oksana has been a blessing! I had almost given up hope that I would ever be 'normal' again. But Oksana showed me that I have the power to control my life/ body. I have the tools and the power! Thank you Oksana!”

I started physical therapy with Oksana about 4 months postpartum. After a serious complication during delivery, I became dependent on a walker and couldn’t move without feeling pain and discomfort. Before my first session of PT with Oksana started, I wasn’t feeling very optimistic about ever being able to feel “normal” again. As soon as I met Oksana, she greeted me with so much compassion and enthusiasm. For the first time in 4 months, I felt like I had hope - hope of regaining my strength, body, and old self back. Every session was carefully thought out. Oksana does an amazing job of helping you achieve your session goals while also making sure you feel supported and comfortable. 2-3 months after starting my sessions with Oksana and I can walk again (without a walker or pain)! I can now participate in other exercises that I was scared of due to my delivery complications such as planks and squats.

I HIGHLY recommend Oksana to anyone who is looking for a physical therapist! She is encouraging, fun, caring, compassionate, creative, and beyond amazing at what she does. Her sessions are never tedious, her exercises are well thought out and fun! As soon as you meet her, you will see how much she truly cares and loves what she does! Oksana, thank you SO much for all of your help! Thank you for helping me gain my confidence, strength, and positivity back.
