Why New Journey?
We’re here to help you find relief from your pelvic floor issues. Many of our clients have been dismissed by other medical providers, told they need to live with their symptoms due to being pregnant, having children, or a multitude of other reasons. This leads to taking medications to mask symptoms, missing out on activities you love, or suffering unnecessarily. Without finding the root cause, lasting results remain out of reach. You are important and deserve to live a full life, and we’re here to help you do it.
We’re here to listen to you and your body. We take your story, your symptoms, and our findings into consideration to find your why! Our pelvic health experts specialize in treating these difficult conditions and finding the root cause.
At New Journey Physical Therapy, you can expect to receive compassionate and respectful care in our calm pelvic specialty clinic.
Are you ready to embark on your New Journey without symptoms?
If you’re looking for a physical therapy team that truly cares about your recovery and overall well-being, I highly recommend New Journey Physical Therapy!

What people are saying about New Journey Physical Therapy
The most 5-star reviews of any pelvic health clinic on the North Shore.
“At my first appointment, I felt like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders after describing the discomfort I felt during intercourse. Dr. Liz made me feel so comfortable and that there was a solution to my problems. Ongoing care with Dr. Liz was outstanding, she always listened to and helped me through whatever concerns I had that day.”
— Roya A.“Dr. Kate not only gave me personalized tips, exercises, and breathing techniques to ease my anxiety about childbirth, but she also supported me in my postpartum recovery. Her well-rounded approach helped me feel supported physically and emotionally for the transition into being a mom.”
— Sarah S.“Dr. Nadia Ori was wonderful! She was an asset for my perinatal care. I felt way more prepared and had better pain management during my pregnancy/labor as well as a well supported recovery postpartum. I owe much of that success to the work I did with Dr. Ori. Would absolutely recommend others to work with Dr. Ori!”
