“We love being able to bring our clients the best of both worlds,” Huston said. They’ll also find a mix of cutting-edge medical technology and time-honored, low-tech movement, wellness and hands-on therapies. Now, patients can choose a mix of office visits, online videos and individual instruction. Huston is a natural teacher (in one video she uses a rubber chicken to illustrate how the pelvic muscles work) and she clearly enjoys it. “So much of this is education,” she said. When Covid precautions became necessary, she was curious about how a remote practice would work, and was happy to discover her patients really liked it. She found that many of her clients (as well as the world in general) don’t realize the importance of the pelvic muscles in supporting all bodily systems, and the necessity of preserving their strength, while reducing tension as they age. Huston was determined to make her practice as welcoming as possible, both for women and men. Pat Salin Huston and Cara Hall of Passages Physical Therapy demonstrate some balance and core work. Many believed there was not much to be done about sensitive issues like pelvic separation, pain, or incontinence, but were pleased to find that anatomical education, training, targeted exercise and biofeedback can often correct even chronic difficulties without drugs or surgery. After instructing a number of patients with pelvic muscle difficulties, she saw that many of them were going through normal life transitions or passages: adolescence, pregnancy, childbirth and aging. She’s joined by physical therapist Laura Panzarella and administrator and PT Tech Cara Hall.Īlthough Passages offers a wide array of physical therapy services, it gets its name from the specialty Huston selected after helping countless clients with problems they believed were embarrassing, uncommon, or somehow their fault. She also helps clients virtually from her home in White Hall. Her Crozet office is on the second floor of the west office compound, which houses Bacio Mediterranean Grill and Haynes Law Office. After commuting to Charlottesville for 16 years, she’s now located in new offices in Clover Lawn. Pat Salin Huston, MSPT, BCB-PMD, long-time physical therapist and owner of Passages Physical Therapy and Wellness, has gone through a recent passage herself, one that’s been a dream for a while. Passages Physical Therapy Opens in Clover Lawn Pat Salin Huston shows how images on a sonogram can help a patient (here, represented by Cara Hall) understand how how muscle groups perform in certain movements, and how different groups work together.
