Tasha Mulligan
Tasha Mulligan: Physical Therapist and Personal Trainer
Tasha is an experienced physical therapist and athletic trainer as well as a mother of three. She has both personal and professional familiarity with the symptoms of a weakened pelvic floor, so she knows firsthand the confusion, fear, and frustration you may be facing. She found that good information is not easily accessible to people at large and therefore many women are willing to accept the changes occurring with their body and the restraints on their activity level. This DVD, designed as she would conduct a physical therapy session, is her effort to educate the millions of women who deserve to know more about their bodies and to give them the tools to resolve those issues.

Liz Michaels, is a co-founder of and Vaiva Vaisnys is a partner in PT Partners, LLC. Both Liz and Vaiva experienced, first-hand, how hard it to effectively complete physical therapy exercises at home after sustaining several orthopedic injuries.

As such, the both play a key role in ensuring that the DVDs that the company develops are developed with the Patient’s point of view and experience in mind. In addition to lending the “patient perspective,”
