About me

Hi, I'm Erica Bermudez, OTR/L.

Pelvic floor occupational therapist, founder of The Pelvic Floor OT, and the person who will never make you feel weird for saying the word "leaking" out loud.

Why I do this

I used to be a clinical director at an insurance-based practice, seeing 20 patients a day. I was burnt out, and worse — I hated the care I was able to give. Fifteen rushed minutes per person isn't therapy. It's triage.

So I left and built the practice I actually believe in: fewer clients, real relationships, and enough time and access to change how someone's body works — not just hand them a sheet of Kegels and hope for the best.

I chose occupational therapy specifically because of its mental health lens. Your pelvic floor isn't separate from your stress, your sleep, your habits, or your life. Treating it like it is separate is exactly why so many people bounce between providers without getting better.

What I treat

I'm qualified to treat all genders and ages (pediatric 3+) for anything affecting the pelvic musculature, including:

  • Leaking with exercise, laughing, or sneezing
  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Pelvic pain, in men and women
  • Pain with sex
  • Low back and hip pain
  • Core dysfunction and bracing problems
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Bed wetting in kids
