Specialized Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Serving Maryland, DC & Virginia
Meet the Owner
Dr. Uju O, DPT (she/her), is a licensed Physical Therapist and owner of Solace PT & Pelvic Wellness. Her primary foundation for treatment is deeply holistic — addressing the body as an interconnected system rather than isolating symptoms. She begins by regulating the nervous system to create safety within the body, allowing space for true homeostasis. From there, pelvic floor dysfunction can be treated with greater ease, efficiency, and lasting results. This whole-body, root-cause approach sets the tone for every session.With nearly a decade of advanced training in pelvic health, chronic pain management, and integrative care across the lifespan, Dr. Uju blends clinical excellence with deep compassion.
As a mom to an infant and someone who has walked her own fertility and healing journey, Dr. Uju brings personal insight, empathy, and lived experience into every session. Clients often describe her as warm, intuitive, and empowering — someone who truly sees, hears, and supports them.
