I came to Katie at the beginning of my second pregnancy because my first was extremely painful to the point where I could barely walk. Her expertise and knowledge has been instrumental in allowing my second pregnancy to be virtually pain-free and much more comfortable all around than my first. She has even relieved left side pain that I have suffered with for my entire life. Not only is she skilled in pelvic floor therapy, she is an absolute joy to be around. I highly recommend Katie for anyone that has pelvic floor issues or pain. Her care during my pregnancy has truly been life-changing.

I have been dealing with what I thought was a prostatitis issue for 18 years after being diagnosed with BPH. About 3 weeks ago I had been traveling, and my prostatitis flared up again, so I got antibiotics and started using them. It seemed no better as usual , so I stopped the meds, and hopped on the internet. Some background: I am 68 years old, and my PSA has gone up but not to the point of concern. I also am an avid runner and do some stretching. The more I researched the more I realized, there was a distinct possibility that I had a pelvic muscle issue, causing the pain. Sometimes I feel like I am sitting on a knot, and sometimes there is constant burning. . I came across Katie Beckham while I was doing my research. From all that I read, I thought maybe there is an alternative to 5mg of Cialis a day and antibiotics on a regular basis. I made an appointment. Katie was very responsive and helpful, and comfortable to work with. Her first question was if my cultures were clear when I did my urine test and I said yes. I presume this was her first indication that I could benefit from her regimen dealing w muscle imbalance. It has only been two weeks, and my life below the belt has taken a new direction. Through her regimen of breathing and specific self massaging, and stretching instructions , I have been able to find remarkable relief to the point that I am drug free and feeling almost percent. I used to get up 3 - 5 times a night to urinate, and now twice in the last 2 weeks, I slept through the night. I would say things are not perfect yet , but I am feeling much better and KNOW this stretching and massage therapy is working. Thank you, Katie, for being professional, easy to understand, and giving me the right tools . I’ve had only one appointment so far, and will probably return to make sure I am doing everything correctly. Again, Katie’s philosophy is to help clients become independent in self management, and significantly reduce pain.

If you are in Houston, you need to look up this amazing woman. I have had the pleasure to work with Katie for almost three years. She is the main reason why I ever got a proper diagnosis for my chronic pain issues I had dealt with since my daughter was born in 2018, and her intuitive way she practices has helped me so much. I have tried other pelvic floor therapists, and she blows them away with her incredible wisdom, knowledge, and skill set. She listens to what your issues are, and trusts her hands to lead her to navigating the issues. You can tell when you meet her this isn't just a job for her, but a calling and a gifting on her life. As a midwife in the Houston area for the last ten years, she is my number one referral to clients for any pelvic floor related issue. She is hands down the best, and Houston is blessed to have her, and I am blessed to know her and have been helped by her.

I used to be so athletic and mobile and after so many medical treatments, surgeries with loads of restrictions i felt like an 80 year old in a 30 something body. Pain and difficulty moving were a main part of my life. Treatment with Beckham Physical Therapy helped me achieve my goal of being able to return to exercise pain free and feel like myself again in just a few short weeks! This is for Pelvic floor but it's the most comprehensive and compassionate physical therapy I've ever received. 100% recommend!

I have suffered with IBD since being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at 22 followed by a complete colectomy and construction of a J-Pouch at 35 causing a lot of scaring and nerve damage. (I'm now about to turn 65 years old.) Following that surgery, I began experiencing general discomfort in my pelvic region then several years later this progressed to include nerve and muscle pain which radiated down the back of my legs and up into my abdomen. After having seen a few PF PT's, I wanted to try someone else. I found Katie in an online search, filled out the online information and set an appointment. Her intro to her background and treatment style, along with her relaxed personable approach, put me at ease right away. Katie sat and listened to me talk about what can be embarrassing to discuss in detail with someone you know much less someone you have just met. I am incredibly grateful to Katie for her professionalism in listening, answering what might seem silly questions about her actual method of treatment. With experience comes knowledge and a willingness to work to find solutions by trying different approaches. Katie brings this knowledge and experience. Due to the extent of my surgery, my pain may never completely go away but now after several treatment sessions, I can say I do feel more in control of my condition and better equipped to self-manage. Katie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table as well as her straightforward approach to male PT. I highly recommend Katie to anyone with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and all related issues. There is hope. Do not wait as I did due to stigma or embarrassment.

"I've been suffering from CPPS and other issues after my vasectomy. I found Katie online and made an appointment to meet with her. Nervous, excitement and doubt had filled my mind before the appointment. I quickly became comfortable and knew right away I was at the right place. She's been a huge support physically and emotionally throughout the process Shes highly skilled and very knowledgeable when it comes to pelvic floor function/dysfunction. Katie incorporates various techniques to manipulate your trigger points and teaches you exercises to improve your condition on your own. This experience has been life changing and I highly recommend Katie to anyone suffering from chronic pelvic pain syndrome."

"Two words: WOW and AMAZING describes the knowledge and skill Katie Beckham has in treating male pelvic floor issues! For 3 plus years I suffered from annoying groin pain and urinary issues. Went to 5 different DR's, had numerous tests done, (all test's were normal) took several rounds of medications and antibiotics and the answer was always "Your Fine" but I was still in pain….something was not right! Was very, very frustrated! All types of scenarios start to run through your mind! Finally, I was referred for Pelvic Floor Therapy and my quality of life changed almost overnight. My pelvic floor was tight (tense muscles) and that was causing the groin pain and urinary dribble/frequency issues. The groin pain disappeared almost overnight and the urinary issues improved in the later weeks. I cannot emphasize enough to try pelvic floor therapy if you believe that modern medicine is not helping you! Wish that I would have found her 3 years ago! Katie is top notch in her field and I highly recommend her for your therapy needs."

Diagnosed over ten years ago with chronic pelvic pain my journey for effective treatment has ended with Katie Beckhan. Like many men with pelvic floor disorders my symptoms were initially misdiagnosed and treated as prostatitis with months of extensive prescriptions of antibiotics. Frustrated with no relief of the symptoms and concerned of the affects the antibiotics were having on my bod, I began to research other alternatives. Contacting Dr. Wise at the PelvicPainHelp group, he was able to provide insight to what I was experiencing and put me in contact with a doctor and physical therapy group in Austin. For months I travelled from Houston to Austin to receive treatment, It was slow progress but with each visit there was a noticeable improvement. After three months I was in a place where no treatment was necessary. I have come to learn that my pelvic floor issues are a byproduct of stress and come and go periodically. Over the years I have been treated at the Woman’s Hospital of Texas and Memorial Hermann with varying degrees of success. Continuously seeking treatment alternatives I ran across Beckhan Physical Therapy and Wellness and reached out to Katie when my pelvic pain paid me its next visit. What I found was the most knowledgeable therapist I have met in this very specialized field, an individual that is very open and easy to talk to about the issue, and knows how to find and fix the problem quickly. Because my condition is intermittent, each time the pain returned and I started therapy with either of the hospital facilities the protocols started over. In some cases this meant starting over with a new therapist and with the first visit consisting of a mere consultation. I appreciate the need for processes and protocols however it only extended my misery by weeks if not longer. Not the case with Katie. On the first visit we discussed the history of the issue with Katie asking very specific and focused questions and then got to work. Her techniques are unparalleled with any experience I have had but most importantly they result in extremely quick relief. What has taken months of weekly visits at other facilities Katie has been able to achieve in two one hour sessions. What I have viewed as a very disruptive condition in the past I now consider a temporary inconvenience that can be resolved within a few visits with Katie.

I have suffered from painful intercourse for over 15 years. It got to the point that i stopped having intercourse altogether. Doctors prescribed various hormonal creams and recommended numerous lubricants but nothing worked. I had two rounds of Mona Lisa treatments, about a year apart, but even that was too painful to continue. A couple of months ago I received a referral to see Katie. She actually called me the same day to schedule my appointment. I knew then that she was special. I didn't even know this type of therapy existed. I was a little apprehensive and very nervous at first but Katie made me feel so comfortable that I lost all my inhibitions in the first 5 minutes of my appointment. She was top notch; very professional, informative, extremely knowledgeable and most of all personable. She managed to not make me feel awkward while we discussed the most intimate details! She provided me with all kinds of samples and recommended several products for me to try at home as part of my therapy. She provided targeted manual therapy to tight involved muscles and coached me through helpful breathing techniques, all aimed at calming my pelvic floor. She encouraged me along the way, was determined to put an end to my misery, and on top of that she made me laugh a lot. But best of all, my therapy was successful! I cannot believe after so many years I actually have a solution to my problem. I highly recommend Katie if you are looking for a physical therapy and wellness advocate who specializes in pelvic therapy. Life changing results!

"As a male in his thirties, core weakness and rectal pain is a very sensitive subject. After years of going undiagnosed by primary care physicians, orthopedic doctors, and pain-management specialists, I found Katie. I found that her knowledge and experience coupled with her nurturing personality helped me feel very comfortable discussing the most sensitive of subjects. After a few sessions, I feel confident my issues are behind me."
