🩵 A NEW KIND OF PHYSICAL THERAPY 🩵
What if physical therapy felt less like appointments and more like reclaiming your body?
I treat women holistically—not part by part, but as the whole, capable human you are.
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy with training in massage and dance, I understand how bodies move, where they hold tension, and how to help you feel strong and free again.
Especially for women in perimenopause and beyond.
I specialize in the musculoskeletal changes that come with hormonal shifts, combining manual therapy, movement education, and deep tissue work to help you feel like yourself again.
Built around your life:
Flexible scheduling—once a week or more. Evenings and weekends. Virtual options so you never have to choose between work and your health.
🩵 You deserve care that sees all of you. 🩵
Dr. Erin Calandra, DPT
I'm Dr. Erin Calandra, a Doctor of Physical Therapy with specialized training in massage therapy and movement. I combine hands-on manual therapy, deep tissue work, and functional movement training to help you feel strong, mobile, and confident in your body again
What if physical therapy felt more like reclaiming your body?
You deserve care that sees all of you.
Why holistic care?
Traditional PT often treats one body part at a time, rushing through appointments dictated by insurance protocols. Here, we take a different approach. By operating outside the insurance system, I'm free to treat your body the way it deserves—as an interconnected whole, with the time and attention needed to address the root cause of your pain and movement limitations.
Specialized in women’s orthopedic wellness
I work with women across the lifespan, with particular expertise in peri to post-menopause. Hormonal changes affect your joints, fascia, muscle strength, and pain response in profound ways. I understand the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause and know how to help you navigate it with strength and resilience.
Care that fits your life
Flexible scheduling designed around you—once a week or more frequently, evenings and weekends available, with virtual options so you never have to choose between work and your health

As estrogen and progesterone decline, your body changes. Joints become more vulnerable to breakdown, muscle mass decreases, bone density declines, and inflammation increases. But this isn't inevitable decline—it's a transition that requires intelligent, targeted movement. This class focuses on protecting and strengthening the joints most at risk during menopause: hips, knees, shoulders, and spine. Using evidence-based exercises, we build supportive strength, improve joint stability, enhance bone density, and teach movement patterns that keep you strong and mobile for decades to come.

Belly dance is more than beautiful movement. It's a practice that enhances hip and spinal mobility, develops core strength and shoulder stability, and helps prevent common issues like frozen shoulder and loss of balance. You'll move your body in novel, fluid ways that feel both challenging and freeing. Connect with a supportive community of women who are on the same journey. Together, we laugh, we learn, we move, and we celebrate what our bodies can do. Come reconnect with your body, embrace your sensual side, and fall in love with movement again

Shuffle Dance is a high-energy, hip-hop-inspired dance class built on fast footwork, jumps, and rhythmic patterns that will challenge your coordination and elevate your heart rate. This isn't just dance—it's a powerful workout for women. The jumping and dynamic footwork stimulate bone growth, helping build and maintain bone density that's critical for long-term health. The quick direction changes and weight shifts improve balance and proprioception, while the cardiovascular intensity delivers a serious calorie burn without feeling like traditional exercise.
