Shelley Bitner, PT earned her B.S. in Physical Therapy from Temple University. She has many years of experience in pelvic floor therapy. She developed an early interest in manual therapy, including craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and strain counter strain. She gradually added to her manual therapy skills including visceral mobilization, neural tissue tension techniques, muscle energy techniques, and a variety of joint mobilization. Shelley enjoys using these skills on a variety of chronic pain conditions, an area of health that Shelley feels is underserved and often mishandled regarding rehabilitation efforts. She has attended several pelvic health courses and has found that combining the knowledge of pelvic anatomy and function, along with a variety of manual therapy techniques, has been an effective and rewarding way to help patients improve their quality of life and pelvic function.​
