Richa Rehan PT 

 Richa Rehan founded Harmony Physiotherapy and The Pelvic Experts in 2010 to fill the many gaps in care for people suffering from pelvic health conditions. As a past national-level basketball player, she understood the negative impact of muscle injuries and pelvic health conditions firsthand. She saw too many women being told that their symptoms (i.e. bladder leakage, pelvic pain, pain with sex, etc.) were normal or that there was nothing that they could do about them. The only solutions these women were told were to take pain medication, undergo invasive procedures, or just live with it. Richa made it her mission to educate people about their pelvic health issues, which may be common, but are definitely not normal! She strives to help people make the best decisions about their pelvic health while creating a positive healing experience.
She is a mother, a scholar, and an athlete. As a mother, Richa knows how difficult it can be to prioritize health and fitness. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, yoga, running, traveling, volunteering, and spending time with her husband, daughter, and their golden retriever.
