Raquel K. Perlis, B.S., P.T., was one of the first Boston-area physical therapists to embrace women’s health physical therapy and pelvic floor physical therapy. She launched her physical therapy practice in 1990 and began specializing in women’s health in 1993.  Since then, she has treated thousands of women and has lectured on pelvic floor physical therapy at hospitals, schools, and other facilities. Raquel holds bachelor’s degrees from the University of Chile and Boston University, and she received a Certificate of Achievement in Pelvic Physical Therapy from the Women’s Health Section of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). Fluent in English, Spanish, and Hebrew, Raquel is prized by her patients for her warmth, openness, and multicultural understanding.

Talya Keschner, OTR/L, discovered her passion for pelvic floor rehabilitation after experiencing the transformative benefits of pelvic floor therapy following the birth of her first child. She knew she wanted to bring attention and support to this vital area of women’s lives, helping them regain confidence and comfort in their pelvic health journey. Talya received her Bachelor of Science degree from Binghamton University and her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from SUNY Downstate. For six years she provided attentive, compassionate care to the adult and geriatric population in a short-term and long-term rehabilitation setting in Manhattan, NY, before transitioning to specialize in pelvic floor therapy. Committed to ongoing professional development, Talya continues to sharpen her knowledge with courses through the Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute and The Functional Pelvis (OT Pioneers). Having recently relocated from New York with her husband and two toddlers, Talya enjoys spending her free time exploring the outdoors with her children and traveling.
