Welcome to Beckham Physical Therapy and Wellness

There are not words sufficient to explain how THOROUGH and effective Katie is nor how incredibly COMFORTABLE she helps you feel.   The vibe of her home-based office is "old friend meets modern medicine".

She helped me understand my issues and correct them.  I had positive results and significant improvement of symptoms from the first visit and while pelvic health can be a sensitive or embarrassing subject, Katie puts you instantly at ease and gently encourages you to really improve your health to drastically improve your quality of life.

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.

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.
