Community Highlights: Meet Carly Oberbeck of Pelvic Health Foundations

Today we’d like to introduce you to Carly Oberbeck

Hi Carly, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My name is Carly Oberbeck. I am a Pelvic Health Physical Therapist and Founder of Pelvic Health Foundations located in East Nashville, TN. With a decade of experience as a physical therapist and the joy of being a mom to a wonderful little girl, my journey has been both deeply personal and professionally transformative.

I have always been very active and consider myself an athlete. I have dabbled in almost every type on exercise you can think of from marathons to yoga to crossfit. After having my daughter my eyes were open to the incredible demands our bodies face and the vital need for a comprehensive approach to rebuilding foundational strength in order to thrive in motherhood.

I have always understood the power of pelvic floor physical therapy but the combination of pelvic health and strength training is the magic medicine. It is this blend of expertise that inspired me to create Pelvic Health Foundations—where individuals in Nashville can explore the intricacies of the pelvic floor, address and rehabilitate pelvic floor dysfunction, and receive holistic support for childbirth and recovery, all under one roof.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Creating this space has been a labor of love and often referred to as my second child. The path hasn’t always been smooth; balancing my roles as a business owner and a mother has been one of my significant challenges. Just as with raising two children, finding the right balance of time and energy for each commitment requires constant attention and adjustment.

Fortunately, I have a wonderfully supportive husband who has helped out tremendously with his time, expertise, and offering words of encouragement. Additionally, the warmth and camaraderie of the Nashville community have made a world of difference. Connecting with like-minded individuals who share my passion for pelvic and perinatal health has been invaluable. We’ve supported and uplifted each other, which has been instrumental in navigating the startup hurdles.

As you know, we’re big fans of Pelvic Health Foundations. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Pelvic Health Foundations is a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy studio located in East Nashville, TN. We pride ourselves on our holistic approach to perinatal pelvic health, which seamlessly integrates pelvic floor rehabilitation with comprehensive strength training programs. Our goal is to empower moms by preparing them for the physical demands of motherhood and enhancing their overall well-being.

What truly sets us apart is our unique blend of group training classes and prenatal support groups. Among our offerings, our signature program is the 6-week foundational strength training course tailored specifically for postpartum women. This program not only provides individualized guidance from a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist but also fosters a supportive community where women can connect and uplift one another during a particularly vulnerable period.

I am particularly proud of the strong sense of community we have cultivated at Pelvic Health Foundations. The collaborative spirit among local perinatal providers has been incredible. We actively engage with and promote the services of other professionals in this space, striving to enhance access to pelvic health education and support within our community. Our mission is to make these essential resources more accessible and to build a network of support that truly makes a difference in the lives of our clients.

How do you think about happiness?
It my be cliche but my daughter brings my so much happiness in my life. The smile on her face, watching her grow and learn, and holding her hand will bring me joy no matter how I am feeling.
