She has been treating people during and after their pregnancies ever since obtaining her license to practice physical therapy, as well as people of all ages and genders with pelvic floor conditions such as pain and incontinence. She became board certified in women\u2019s health physical therapy in 2019, which requires additional training and demonstrates extensive practice and study in treating pelvic floor dysfunction and women\u2019s health issues. Colleen teaches pelvic health content to the doctoral physical therapy students at Northern Arizona University and has taught Biomechanics in the Biology department there as well. Colleen believes treatment of pelvic floor issues and musculoskeletal health conditions during and after pregnancy is a valuable and under-served area of healthcare. She recognizes the importance of the intersection of pelvic and pre and post-natal health with race, financial health, gender, and many other factors and strives to provide equality in pelvic physical therapy treatment for all. Colleen opened Foundations Physical Therapy in June of 2021 to help people with pelvic health conditions live their best lives. Colleen joined the Flagstaff Birth Collective in December of 2021 and is honored to begin working alongside the Collective\u2019s talented members in a holistic healthcare model.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-843c753 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"843c753\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-344c80b\" data-id=\"344c80b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26aeb92 elementor-position-right elementor-vertical-align-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"26aeb92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/flagbirthcollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fbc_colleen_gest.jpeg?fit=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-1127\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/flagbirthcollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fbc_colleen_gest.jpeg?w=1386&amp;ssl=1 1386w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/flagbirthcollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fbc_colleen_gest.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/flagbirthcollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fbc_colleen_gest.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/flagbirthcollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fbc_colleen_gest.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/flagbirthcollective.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fbc_colleen_gest.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"elementor-image-box-content\"><p class=\"elementor-image-box-description\">Colleen currently offers treatment for prenatal and postnatal conditions as well as pelvic floor issues Tuesdays-Fridays at her main office location.
