I’m so glad you are here!
I’m Mbong and I help active adults just like you from all over the Triangle conquer persistent pelvic floor problems that hold you back from working out the way you want.
Whether you are experiencing-

Pelvic or Tailbone Pain
Genital Pain
Diastasis Recti

Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Seeking guidance for Pregnancy Wellness support
We work together using an integrative approach that is bespoke your unique body to get to the root of why your body signals are bothering you so that you can train harder, recover better, and keep up with life without distraction from of pelvic floor dysfunction slowing you down.
Many women experience lasting pelvic floor dysfunction or back pain after childbirth and while many pelvic floor issues are common, these issues are treatable and often preventable.
For active men under the age of 50, many can struggle for more than 7 years before finding treatments to resolve life disrupting genital pain.
At Radiance Physical Therapy, I take an integrative approach to pelvic health that goes beyond symptom management to address the root causes of pelvic pain, bladder issues, and core weakness so that you gain a deeper understanding of your body signals, eliminate discomfort that distracts you at work, and have a return to an active, confident life you deserve.
“Mbong is the best! I started working with her three years postpartum and she helped me heal an abdominal separation plus intense lower back pain. Now I feel strong in the places that used to hurt. I cannot say enough good things, she has taught me so much about my body. Sign up now, it’s never too late to heal and get your active lifestyle back.”
Where to?
Whether your baby is 6 months or 16 years old- You deserve to feel good!

You’re A Go Getter Committed to Caring for your Health—
Does this sound like you?
You are irritated by bladder urgency distracting you every 30-minutes when you need to be productive at work so that you can actually close your computer during your lunch break.Your bloating has you *feeling* pregnant and your bowel movements really hurt during *that time* of the monthYou find yourself saying “I’m fine” when your hubby winks at you, but you KNOW you are worried about vaginal pain with sex on top of your already busy schedule and you are exhausted because work is stressful, you forgot to eat your lunch and your toddler won’t sleep without you.IF THAT SOUNDS TOO FAMILIAR, YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE!
I SEE THIS ALL THE TIME!
Over the years
you have tried everything:
✔︎ Regular PT down the street 3x a week which was helpful to make sure you did the exercises for diastasis recti but you stopped doing them once they graduated you and your back still hurts.
✔︎ Pelvic PT where you got a lot of internal release treatment but tailbone pain and back still hurt with heavy weightlifting
✔︎ Tried your favorite chiropractor for quick manip, but you go back to wincing once you pick up your kids
YOU ARE THINKING TO YOURSELF,
There has got to be a better way!
You look around and see your neighbors happily chasing after their kids after dinner and you feel stuck because you aren’t able to plan the fun hiking and camping trips you’ve always dreamt of and making new memories while being active with your kids because your back pain and bladder that needs to stop every 30minutes gets in the way.
If this sounds too familiar — you’re not alone and it’s not your fault!
If you feel frustrated because you’ve tried everything without lasting relief and you don’t want to end up debilitated by back pain like your aging parents who can’t play with their grandkids in the way your have always dreamed of.
i want you to know, Healing is pOSsible!
The traditional medicine approach is doing the best it can, but it has it is limits. One of the biggest problem is that they are looking you as just your “back pain” or “pelvic pain” diagnosis and what you are missing is an integrative approach that can get to the root of why your pain signals and bladder issues keep talking to you in the first place!
The great news is, this is exactly what I help people just like you with!
At Radiance PT, working together with my clients I utilized my 3 phase signature framework which is bespoke to your unique body and goals so that you can go from feeling like you take 2 steps forward and 3 steps back with putting a heating pad on your back after a 1 hour of play with your toddler and too hurt to workout to-
Showing up to work energized and ready to sit through 90minute team meeting without running to the bathroom.
Navigating that time of the month without missing your gym routine
Enjoying initiating spontaneous sex with your partner without fear of vaginal pain taking up precious mental space.
Are you ready to start Feeling like yourself again?
You might be feeling guilty about spending time on yourself because we live in a go- go go society that has many people believing that a good parent cares for everyone else and prioritizes their own health needs last,
but the problem with that mentality is that it leads to burnout, EXHAUSTION, and Chronic pain.
Yet a lot of parents don't realize that the behaviors you model to your kids have a powerful effect on the actions your kids take in their own lives.
But the thing is, a lot of moms feel guilty about prioritizing time for themselves because of the demands of cleaning home and folding laundry after a busy work day when they barely even had time for lunch away from their computer.
If this hit too close to home, you aren’t alone!
What if instead of feeling guilty about making time for yourself-
what if pouring into your cup so that you are overfilled with joy from doing something you love and prioritizing your health means that what you are modeling to your kids SPILLS OVER into the way you are parenting
and this changes the way your kids view the world by creating a different narrative of their future that they deserve to feel good in their bodies and prioritize their own needs.
It would feel amazing, wouldn’t it?
I CAN HELP YOU!
This is why I am so passionate about helping Active people just like you—
✔︎ Get back to feeling GREAT & EMPOWERED on your morning run
✔︎ SMASH IT in your 9 to 5 without pelvic pain taking up space on your mind during sex.
✔︎ And have enough ENEGRY to happily roll around with your kiddos after a busy day without fear of your back going out.
How i can help
Phase 1 Clarity
A diagnosis of “pain” or “pelvic floor dysfunction” doesn’t tell us what is causing the bothersome symptoms that you are experiencing when you try to connect intimately with your partner or why you notice vaginal pain for 3 days after you deadlift heavy.
Together we’ll help you figure out the "why" of your body signals and together get to the root of the mechanisms causing your pelvic pain and bladder symptoms so that you go from feeling fearful of pain that holds you back from intimately connecting with your partner to instead crying tears of joy because your body feels so safe and feeling like a bad ass in the gym as you hit PRs again.
Phase 2 Calm
During this phase we calm symptoms down with continued targeted treatments from the trouble areas we found in the Clarity phase and introduce simple yet powerful tools allowing you to go from feeling fearful of injury to instead consistently working out harder in the gym so that you can keep up with your kids without fear of your back going out.
Phase 3 Resilience
Resilience is built as you add more movement challenges into your body and handle life stressors like work deadlines, sick kids, holiday travel with strategies you know will work to keep you pain free and avoiding crashing, hitting the wall and being burnt out again.
In this phase you will embody confidence with accountability and support from Dr Henry. You will learn strategies to test challenge exercises in the gym and navigate everything on your life plate all while having continued support to ensure long lasting relief which comes from delaying return of your bothersome bladder urgency symptoms that interfere with your ability to focus at work and join your friends for a long run on the weekends.
