I received therapy at Desert Physical Therapy and Pelvic Health due to trying to avoid surgery on my Pelvic Floor. I saw Erika Townsend for 3 months and I am so glad took the chance on therapy. Not only did the issues with my Pelvic Floor correct naturally but I was able to learn valuable information on how to maintain a healthy Pelvic Floor and pass this down to my family and friends.
All in all, I am so thankful for Erika and the entire team at Desert Physical Therapy. If you have any doubts about Pelvic Floor Therapy, just know that Desert Physical Therapy will provide amazing customer service and correct the root cause of any issues that brought you to them to the best of their abilities!

Cassidy is the absolute best .!!! I struggled for 6 months with pain and was misdiagnosed over and over again . My very 1st appointment Cassidy was able to pin point my true source of pain and gave me answers and direction that I had so desperately been looking for . Her bedside manner is impeccable, she made me feel comfortable from the very beginning . I never felt rushed during my appointments , each visit I left feeling better than when I walked in . Her text messages in between appointments almost brought me to tears ... just showing she truly cares and wanted to see how I was holding up . 3 sessions later I was able to practice techniques at home as needed and no longer needed to be seen . She truly brought me out of a dark depressing time in my life and I will forever be grateful !

I came to see Cassidy Cutter PT @ Dessert Physical Therapy with a years-long history of severe pelvic pain. So severe that I needed morphine to ease my pain. I had to visit the emergency room twice and running all types of test to find the root of my symptoms with no results, very frustrated because no body (GI, Gynecologist, family Dr and hospital) was able to diagnose my health problem. After paying thousands of dollars and being referred to Cassidy by my gynecologist as the last option before surgery, Cassidy was able to find the spot where the pain originated and treat it with her "magic hands". After weeks of therapy and exercises she recently released me because my symptoms have disappeared. Cassidy also provided me with exercises to do at home to prevent pain in the future.
I am very happy with the results of the therapy and Cassidy's professionalism.

I had a tailbone injury years ago that came back for an encore recently, and this time I went straight to the specialist...Tara Beran. Not only does she seriously KNOW her field of expertise, she has a way of making anyone feel comfortable through whatever treatment process is best suited to their condition. You'll have a true partner in helping you through your recovery. For how serious/challenging some of these conditions can be, Tara's humor and positivity is a real bonus. You'll get feeling better and you'll laugh a bit along the way. Also, the office is always clean, peaceful and run like a smooth machine (that's Debbie!) Highly recommended!!

I reached out to Desert PT and scheduled an appt with Cassidy to deal with endometriosis issues with my pelvic floor. I unfortunately had to cancel due to personal financial issues. Cassidy called me directly and provided me several referrals to other PT’s who could work with my insurance. It blew me away that she took her own time to help me and actually cared about patients even those who will end up seeing another doctor. Having dealt with endometriosis issues my whole adult life I can tell you that does not happen with most medical professionals! I would refer anyone to Cassidy and Desert PT!

Due to living nearly 3 hours away, I only saw Tara twice. I knew from the first visit that Tara's priority is helping people to the best of her ability. She was concerned with how far I had to travel to see her and quickly referred me to a fellow PT who is much closer to my location. I was uncomfortable going in to my first appointment. Tara is very good at putting you at ease with the way she carries herself and explains everything. She clearly knows what she is doing and her heart is in the right place. I just couldn't NOT come back and give her a glowing review. Best wishes

Tara has been incredibly helpful while I navigate my first pregnancy! Her knowledge in the pelvic health field is something you just don't get without her years of experience. I always leave my appointments feeling educated and taken care of. Thankfully I have not personally dealt with pelvic floor dysfunction. However, I know that I have her as a resource for if that day comes. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with her throughout the extent of my pregnancy and as I journey into postpartum recovery. Desert Physical Therapy and Pelvic Health is one of the best in the valley!

I relatively recently starting to have significant tightness and discomfort in my pelvic floor.. I had multiple MRI's, an ultrasound, and thought I had to have an injury. It turns out that I was experiencing pelvic floor issues. I've been seeing Tara over the last year or so and she has educated me on the pelvic floor and different techniques to relax it. I've seen tremendous results and am back to working out at full capacity and feeling great. Tara has been professional and supportive throughout the entire process. I recommend this to any male experiencing similar issues!

I have been seeing Tara for approximately a year. She has got to be the most caring compassionate and knowledgeable physical therapist that I’ve ever worked with. But it’s not just that, she’s also one of the nicest people you will ever meet.She has a great sense of humor which I really think is important in that business. She has unbelievable skills. Within an hours time I can go from feeling awful to feeling pretty good and getting better as I go the rest of the day. I would recommend her to others but she’s already overbooked and the rest of us don’t need that conflict.

Cassidy is wonderful physical therapist! She has helped me move through pain management with simple assessments in office, and moved to strengthening so that I can be the strongest I can be! Our goal is to balance strength and mobility, and I feel we have made great progress since coming to her in the spring. She has been extremely flexible with my schedule and I appreciate the chance to use the video conferencing when I can't make an in-office appointment.
The office itself is easy to get to, clean, and welcoming. Can't recommend this place enough, for ladies of all ages!

I received therapy here for about three months and it absolutely helped my pelvic muscle issues, got me back to a normal base level, and improved my quality of life.
My therapist Erika was wonderful.
She customized an individual plan for me, slowly adding more exercises, educating me through what was happening, and checking in each week to make necessary adjustments.
I met my goals within three months and now have the tools I need to maintain this at home. I would recommend this to anyone experiencing pelvic issues that affect your quality of life.

Cassidy has been monumental for me in my healing journey. She’s helped me recover from a stubborn coccyx injury and has been coaching me on strengthening my muscles and core. She’s incredibly empathetic and genuinely cares about the well being of her patients. She has a calming presence and makes you feel comfortable during sessions. She easily answers questions and gives in depth explanations. I’m no longer living in pain and discomfort thanks to her. I’m so thankful I was referred to Cassidy, she has improved my quality of life physically, mentally and emotionally! :)

Tara Beran is the best there is in this highly specialized field. Pelvic floor pain is unique, debilitating and mentally overwhelming. Tara’s truly genuine concern and empathy for her patients, combined with her high level of knowledge and her tenacity and drive to resolve her patients pain is like nothing I’ve ever experienced, ever! She is the best diagnostician I have ever seen! I could not have gotten through this without her positive attitude and support, she is a true professional and should my pain return, I would absolutely go back to Tara for treatment.

I recently was recommended to Desert Physical Therapy by my PCP. As some women age urinary issues arise. I was experiencing this troublesome and embarrassing problem. I worked with Dr. Erika. Erika is amazing!
She was beyond kind and understanding. She assessed the cause of the issues, helped me to understand what was happening with my body, and taught me exercises to do at home to strengthen my pelvic floor.
As I told her - it has been life changing! I cannot express enough gratitude to her for her knowledge and understanding.
~ Sally W
I had the honor of working with Cassidy for several months after having a baby. She has excellent bedside manner, is very easy to talk to, and is always encouraging. I learned so much from her and she truly helped me a lot. Every time I had an appointment it was like I was visiting a friend. You definitely don't get that with many healthcare providers. I learned techniques from her that I can continue to use in the future. I highly recommend Cassidy. You will not be disappointed. She's an absolute gem and such a pleasure to work with.
~ Sadie N
Cass is a phenomenal physical therapist! She is thorough and inquisitive. She asks a lot of questions so she can get to the root of the issue. She doesn’t just treat the symptom, she finds and treats the cause. Her background in fitness complements her training as a therapist, through her treatment plan and showing you modifications to your existing exercise plan. She is well rounded, knowledgable and personable. I would highly recommended Cass to anyone in need of physical therapy!

I’ve been a patient at Desert physical therapy and pelvic health for a few years now and see Tara. Tara is the best at what she does. Always professional, compassionate, and caring with her patients. She truly listens and treats to the utmost best of her abilities. She is extremely knowledgeable and cutting edge. I especially appreciate the exercises and techniques she has taught me for in between visits. Look no further for a wonderful PT! Highly recommend!!
~ Jamie C
I highly recommend Cassidy as your next pelvic therapist! After exhaustively exploring various options, I was fortunate to discover her expertise where she developed exercises and a pelvic floor plan that brought me much-needed relief. Cassidy's profound knowledge and unwavering commitment to her patients truly set her apart. Not only is she a great therapist, but she is also so fun to have conversation with. I will definitely miss being her patient!
~ Kelcie F
Tara knows pelvic floors and people. She takes the time to get to know you and designs a program for each client. Definitely not a cookie cutter practice. More like a customized experience based on years of education and experience. Also, she has a way of offering realistic hope. For eight years I lived with pain and not knowing the reason. I still have a ways to go and at least can begin to see the light.
~ Tony M
I had two session of pelvic floor Physio with Cassidy. I was having severe sciatic pain and bowel problems. After the first session I had a significant improvement in all my symptoms. She was extremely friendly and helped me feel comfortable during the treatment. She also gave me the tools I manage my issues going forward.
I would 10/10 recommend Cassidy for pelvic Physio. She was professional, knowledgeable and truly helped me.

~ Nettie R
Cassidy is a pelvic floor physical therapist and she is the literal best! She made me feel so comfortable right away. I was dealing with several post partum issues and she helped me gain my strength and confidence back! She was able to address all of my concerns and I am forever grateful.I would 10000% recommend Cassidy and anyone at this clinic!! If you need a pelvic floor specialist this is your place!
~ Jaimie B
Tara is truly professional, but most importantly she cares for her patients. I met her while I was in excruciating pain and feeling hopeless not knowing what was wrong with me. I also wasn't able to do the things I used to do prior to becoming inflicted with Pelvic Pain. She treated me with care and compassion and am now able to run and do all the things I enjoy once again!
~ Cristina E
I found Cassidy at Desert PT and Pelvic Health and it changed my life! I was struggling with adhesion issues after a hysterectomy/abdominal surgery and didn't think I would ever be pain-free again. Cassidy took the time to listen and find therapies that worked for my particular issues. She is patient, kind, incredibly knowledgeable and I cannot recommend her, and Desert PT enough.
