TARA JOHNSTON, PT, DPT
Tara was born and raised in Washington State. She graduated from Eastern Washington University in 2006 with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Tara has practiced Physical Therapy in a variety of settings including outpatient orthopedics, outpatient neurology, acute rehabilitation, pelvic health, and women’s health. She has a special interest in supporting women and is a certified Post-Partum Doula through Childbirth International. She has also taken extensive continuing education on treatment of pelvic health conditions for all ages and genders and is now a Teaching Assistant for the Herman and Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute.
Tara played collegiate soccer at Eastern Washington University and then went on to explore the limits of her endurance with distance running and Ironman Triathlons. Her fitness goals have shifted since having kids and she is now more interested in finding a healthy life balance through movement to achieve optimal physical and emotional wellbeing. Tara takes a whole-body approach, looking at much more than just your pelvis. Our bodies are an integrated system that must function together to work efficiently and Tara’s passion is to help people fine tune their already amazing bodies.
Tara would love to help you with issues related to pelvic health such as incontinence, urgency/frequency, diastasis recti, pelvic organ prolapse, painful intercourse, pelvic pain, pregnancy & post-partum, peri-menopausal changes, constipation, encopresis, and much more.
