Mahez's passion lies in pelvic health. After her own frustrations from personal experiences of pelvic pain, bladder and bowel issues which magnified postpartum, Mahez has since been drawn to pelvic health physical therapy as an extension of her dedication and commitment to helping individuals silently suffering from pelvic floor dysfunction. She feels that there's a lack of awareness and guidance following any pelvic related ailments among both patients and practitioners. Her own experiences have shaped a better understanding and compassion for this population.

After being introduced to Low Pressure Fitness Hypopressives during her struggle with pelvic issues, Mahez became even more interested in learning about pelvic health and has since become a certified practitioner teaching her patients this amazing technique. She approaches the person holistically by interconnecting each segment of the body to provide a customized, tailored approach to each individual through her extensive background in pelvic health, orthopedics and manual therapy.
