Dr. Julia Salazar
FOUNDER, BOARD CERTIFIED PHYSICAL
THERAPISTJulia received her undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Great Falls Montana and went on to receive her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Eastern Washington University. Julia worked for several years in Outpatient Orthopedics before finding a clinic in California where she was able to focus on Pelvic Floor Therapy. It was here that Julia found a passion for working with pelvic floor dysfunction. Julia returned to the Spokane area and is excited to be opening a clinic specializing in pelvic floor therapy, as this is an area that she feels is under-served.

She does this by reducing or eliminating pain, improving quality of life, promoting dryness, relieving constipation, and getting you back to an enjoyable sex life. Julia has been treating pelvic floor dysfunction since 2010 and she uses the most current techniques, methods, and modern equipment to help you recover from any pelvis injury or pain. Julia is very passionate about her job and tailors her treatments to address each client’s individual needs.
Julia became Board Certified in Women’s Health/ Pelvic floor in 2017. She is one of 22 providers in the State of WA and one of 422 nationally. Julia continues to educate herself on pelvic floor dysfunction so she can provide the best possible care for her clients.
