A No-BS Approach to Taking Back Control of Your Pain— No Gaslighting, and No Unsustainable Lifestyle Changes.
Dr. Mary found, both with herself and with her clients, that learning more about our bodies—how they work, our anatomy (especially pelvic floor anatomy), and noticing physical and emotional patterns—is key. The more we work with our psychological patterns, the more impactful the results become.
There is no magic pill. If someone tries to tell you otherwise, please run!
She wants to help guide you to understand your body in a way that feels right for you. The goal is to gain control over your symptoms rather than letting the symptoms control you.
About Dr. Mary
Dr. Mary Grimberg is an educator, podcaster, entrepreneur, and orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapist with over 13 years of experience. As a cancer survivor and someone who has worked through the challenges of complex PTSD, she blends clinical expertise with insights from both the clinical and patient perspectives.
After enduring 20 years of pelvic pain and chronic fatigue, Dr. Mary truly understands the toll that chronic stress, trauma, and pelvic floor dysfunction can take—not just on your body, but on your joy, your relationships, and your sense of self. She also had to work through deep layers of shame and guilt around sex due to religious trauma. Now, she’s on a mission to empower people to ditch the guesswork, understand their bodies, and take back control—because you deserve more than just surviving.
While the physical pain is real and must be addressed, Dr. Mary has seen that long-term relief happens when healing flows between the physical, emotional, and spiritual layers. Using principles from both modern science and Eastern medicine, she helps clients decode what their body is really asking for—guiding them toward deeper healing beyond symptom management.
Dr. Mary’s work is inspired by the groundbreaking contributions of Gabor Maté, Peter Levine, Brené Brown, Bessel van der Kolk, Lorimer Moseley, Florence Scovel Shinn and Eastern medicine principles which have been practiced for thousands of years. This has helped her bridge the gap between what she knew as a physical therapist and what she felt as a human who had lived through chronic pain and cPTSD. Even with the most up-to-date orthopedic knowledge, she saw that pain wasn’t fully explained by biomechanics alone—which led her to blend trauma-informed care, somatic awareness, and emotional healing into her physical therapy practice.
Dr. Mary is passionate about educating healthcare and rehab professionals on how to integrate this mind-body-spirit model into evidence-based care. She completed an orthopedic residency, served as faculty for a post-graduate orthopedic residency program, and has taught continuing education courses for years. She now runs a multi-clinician physical therapy and wellness practice that blends orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapy with functional nutrition and integrative healing tools.
Through humor, evidence-based care, and a no-BS, heart-led approach, Dr. Mary empowers people to break free from pain and shame, reconnect with their bodies, and reclaim their vitality.
