Practice Description
Bodywise is a private physical therapy practice in Durango, Colorado offering specialized pelvic health PT, orthopedic physical therapy, and clinical Pilates. Care is one-on-one, unhurried, and whole-person — every session with Rupal Patel, PT, DPT, PhD.
Pelvic health services address urinary leakage, urgency, pelvic pain, painful sex, prolapse, postpartum recovery, and perimenopause-related pelvic floor changes. Treatment is grounded in a thorough movement-based assessment and an understanding of how the pelvic floor connects to breathing, hip mechanics, and whole-body movement patterns.
Rupal brings 15+ years of clinical experience in pelvic health and orthopedic PT, a doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Miami, and a PhD in Health Behavior from UT Austin. Her approach integrates behavioral science and motivational interviewing alongside manual therapy and Pilates-based rehabilitation — addressing not just what the body is doing, but how to create lasting change.
Bodywise serves active adults, women navigating pelvic health across the lifespan, and anyone looking for care that goes beyond a generic protocol.
