My name is Chelsea OโNeill. I am a pelvic floor physical therapist and the owner of Connected Core Physical Therapy and Wellness. I provide mobile services, treating patients in the comfort of their own homes. I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY, and recently moved to South Carolina in July 2024 with my husband and our two dogs.โฃ

I chose to work with women during pregnancy and postpartum because this season of life is incredibly powerfulโbut often underserved. I genuinely love working with this population. Women deserve to feel strong, supported, and confident not just during pregnancy, but long after. Too many are told their symptoms are โnormalโ or that they just have to live with them, and I want to change that. My passion is helping women feel good in their bodies so they can move, play, and fully enjoy life with their childrenโboth now and in all the years to come.โฃ

My favorite part of my business is connecting with other small businesses in our communityโsupporting one another, collaborating, and growing together to better serve local families. I also truly love working one-on-one with my clients. Helping women feel better in their bodies, regain confidence, and get back to the activities they love is the most rewarding part of what I do.โฃ

In five years, I see my business continuing to grow into a thriving pelvic health resource for our community. I would love to eventually open a brick-and-mortar clinic where women can receive comprehensive, high-quality care in a supportive environment. Expanding is definitely on the tableโwhether that means adding more services, bringing on additional providers, or creating a space where collaboration and whole-body wellness can flourish.โฃ

I wish someone had told me to start sooner and to trust myself more. Building a business can feel intimidating, but Iโve learned that itโs absolutely possible to create the life and career you envision. Stepping into your passion, even before you feel โready,โ is often the most powerful thing you can do.โฃ

I highly recommend getting into the pelvic health field. It can be challenging at times, but the reward of seeing patients improve, feel empowered, and get their lives back is truly the best part. If someone is interested, I always suggest starting by taking continuing education courses, keep learning, seek out mentors, get hands-on experience, and just go for it. The field needs passionate providers, and thereโs so much opportunity to make a real impact.
