However, many people aren&#8217;t aware of the important role physical therapy plays in helping those who are medically or surgically transitioning. Having a physical therapist on your team allows patients to prepare for surgery and more safely embody their gender, such as with better chest binding practices or tucking techniques.<\/p>\n\t<p>Dr. Darshana Naik of @pelvicptgyan interviewed Dr. Katie McGee of B3 Physical Therapy to help patients understand how a physical therapist can help with their medical journey, what to look for in a medical provider, what to expect when meeting with a physical therapist, and learn more about physical therapy for trans and gender diverse people. This is a great watch whether you are trans or gender diverse yourself, or looking to help a friend or family member.<\/p>\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7F_ylqOV-60\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<h4>\n\t\tAbout B3 Physical Therapy\n\t<\/h4>\n\t<p>B3 Physical Therapy was founded to provide comprehensive and inclusive care for very personal struggles where you feel most comfortable; your own home.
