A Functional Medicine Approach to Pelvic Health
Dr. Tara Moore, PT, DPT, M.Ed, NTP, IFMCP
As a physical therapist specializing in pelvic health, I look beyond the immediate symptom to understand how movement, lifestyle, and whole-body health may be connected.

Care that sees the whole person
Obsidian Insight is a physical therapist-led practice focused on women's pelvic and musculoskeletal health.
We look beyond a single symptom or body part to understand how movement, pelvic health, recovery, lifestyle, and other factors may be influencing how you feel and function.
Whether you're working through a specific concern or looking for ongoing support for your health and physical function, care is individualized to where you are now, and where you want to go next.
A Different Kind of Care
Healthcare doesn't always fit neatly into a series of appointments.
At Obsidian, care can begin with a specific concern and evolve as your needs change. Your plan may include physical therapy, movement and physical-function assessment, education, preventive or maintenance care, and ongoing support.
The goal isn't simply to treat what's bothering you today. It's to understand your body, build your capacity, and help you stay connected to your health over time.
Pelvic Wellness & Functional Health: Serving the Greater Cleveland and Akron Areas and virtually nationwide
I Believe …
I believe that healthcare shouldn’t start with a diagnosis; it should start with curiosity. Wellness shouldn’t be the last step in recovery; it should be the first step in prevention. And women deserve more than rushed appointments and disconnected care. They deserve time, context, and connection.
Tara Moore, PT, DPT
Ongoing Care When You Need It
For women who want an ongoing relationship with their physical therapist, Obsidian offers a membership model designed around continuity rather than isolated visits.
Membership provides an ongoing framework for assessment, individualized care, education, communication, and support as your needs evolve.
Some members come to Obsidian with a specific problem they want to address. Others want ongoing support for maintaining function, preventing problems, navigating changes in their bodies, or continuing to work toward their health goals.

Meet Your Guide
I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in women's pelvic health and movement.
My clinical work is grounded in physical therapy, biomechanics, and the relationship between how we move and how we feel. Over time, I've found that the most meaningful care often requires looking beyond the immediate complaint and considering the broader factors influencing someone's physical function, recovery, and health.
That's the foundation of Obsidian Insight.

Patient-centered care: Promoting health as a positive vitality, beyond just the absence of disease.
An Integrative, science-based healthcare approach: Considers the unique, complex web of interactions of the patient’s physiology and lifestyle along with both internal and external factors that affect total functioning.
A combination of best practices: Integration of a variety of support strategies focusing on restorative care, and prevention through nutrition, diet, and exercise for optimal wellness.

Food is energy. At the most basic level, food is a fuel source necessary for the body to function.
Food is information. Byproducts of food assist with various bodily processes: metabolism, hormones, detoxification, etc., and convey messages about your functioning.
Food is a connection. Food brings people together, often as a central focus of social gatherings and celebratory events. The reasons behind food choices, cravings, and aversions aren’t always logical or rational, and these reasons can often be tied back to our relationships with food.
Food is medicine. We are what we eat. Foods and food behaviors influence the body and can contribute to underlying symptoms. These factors can be adjusted to move an individual toward health and healing. Choosing nutrient-dense foods that send support (not destruction) to the body is critical for optimal health.
-
Movement is vital: We know more than ever how important movement is for our overall health. The key is creating safe movement strategies that allow your body to move effectively in your current state.
Movement is Specific: Learn how posture, breath, and body mechanics influence how you feel and move through life.
Movement is limited: Through guided awareness and simple movements, reconnect with your body’s natural rhythms and restore a sense of ease in your daily routine.
