A word from one of our patients:
Dr. Jenn Perna PT, DPT, OCS, PCES
Owner, Pelvic floor therapist
As a woman who recovered from four childbirths, Dr. Jenn has experienced how little support and guidance there is regarding postpartum recovery. After experiencing both orthopedic and pelvic pain after recovering from her second pregnancy, she realized the need for a quiet and private physical therapy clinic that specialized solely specializes in women's pelvic health concerns.
Dr. Jenn founded Vivid in response to firsthand experience of being brushed off after a challenging postpartum recovery and frustration with how patients are cared for in the traditional physical therapy setting. She wanted to spend time getting to know her patients and partnering with them to design treatment plans that were individualized and effective.
Creating a private space that values one-on-one time with patients was non-negotiable. She has proudly grown Vivid to a group of likeminded clinicians that are equally passionate about women’s health and delivering quality care to patients.
