Pelvic health, on your terms.
Personalized pelvic floor physical therapy with Dr. Brandi Childs of Nest physical therapy, now inside the Long Core studio in Staten Island.
Prenatal, postpartum & every season in between.
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a focused, evidence-based form of care that supports the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue at the foundation of your core. But your pelvic floor doesn't work in isolation, and Brandi doesn't treat it that way.
At Nest, the approach is whole-body. Pelvic health is the focus, but every session looks at how your body is functioning as a connected system. The goal is care that helps you stay healthy, move freely, build strength, and function at your best.
Sessions are one-on-one, and private. Time to listen, time to assess, and time to build a plan that's actually yours.
Care That Treats the Body as a Whole.
- People preparing for birth who want their bodies ready
- People in postpartum recovery, whether last month or last decade
- People navigating perimenopause and the changes that come with it
- People healing from pelvic surgery or long-standing pelvic concerns
- People with hip, low back, or tailbone discomfort that hasn't resolved with traditional care
- People who want a provider who'll take the time to understand the full picture
- People ready for care that treats the body as a whole, not just a symptom
who brandi works with
Nest Physical Therapy is a Staten Island practice founded by Dr. Brandi Childs, DPT, dedicated to transforming access to pelvic floor physical therapy. Brandi built Nest to move beyond traditional practice settings, prioritizing comfort, privacy, and a genuine relationship between provider and patient.
Her philosophy is whole-body. Pelvic health is the focus, but the work treats your body as a unified, interconnected system. Strength, function, and freedom of movement are all part of the picture.
Our partnership exists because her values match ours. Rigorous, personal, and never one-size-fits-all. Bringing Brandi's care into our Staten Island studio means clients have another way to access her work, in a space that already feels like home.

what brandi's clients are saying
“Working with Brandi during the first few weeks after having my baby was such a blessing. I had four sessions with her, and they truly laid the foundation for a smoother recovery. She shared so much valuable knowledge about getting back into exercise post-pregnancy. Beyond that, she also supported me with other aspects of being a new mom, like breastfeeding and more, which was beyond what I initially sought help for. It was definitely an investment worth making.”

"Working with Brandi during the first few weeks after having my baby was such a blessing."
“Brandi is not only an expert in her field, she is kind, empathetic, and passionate. After giving birth to two children, my body confidence diminished and she has been able to give me the tools to heal my Diastasis Recti. We need more therapists like Brandi in the women’s health field. She is a rare find and true gem! You won’t be sorry.”
