Buffy Stinchfield
PT, MPT
Buffy became a passionate advocate for women’s and pelvic health after experiencing years of silent suffering with pelvic pain. Her journey into this specialty began after the birth of her first child in 2008, a labor and recovery that were anything but simple. As she delved deeper into pelvic health, she was shocked by the staggering statistics showing just how common these issues are. Realizing that no one should have to feel alone in their struggles, Buffy committed herself to transforming how women understand and address their pelvic health.
With nearly two decades of experience as a physical therapist, Buffy helps women of all ages resolve complex issues such as pelvic pain, endometriosis, pelvic organ prolapse, urinary and bowel leakage, constipation, tailbone injuries, postpartum recovery, back and hip pain, and other orthopedic and core conditions. Her approach is rooted in identifying the underlying patterns that keep clients stuck and empowering them to create healthier ways of moving and living in their bodies.
“Your body is amazing and designed to HEAL.”
Buffy believes deeply in addressing the whole person—not just the symptoms. She integrates her expertise in pelvic health, mindfully guided strength training, holistic nutrition, and nervous system regulation to help her patients achieve long-lasting results. By combining hands-on techniques with personalized restorative exercises, she helps clients heal from the inside out. Her approach is always practical and realistic, understanding the demands of a busy life and ensuring her recommendations are sustainable for every patient.
A staunch advocate for empowering women during pregnancy, Buffy encourages all expecting mothers to optimize their preparation for labor and delivery. She equips them with tools to recover from vaginal or cesarean births and addresses critical aspects of pelvic floor muscle coordination, pain, and even the mechanics of pushing during labor.
Buffy holds a Master of Physical Therapy degree from California State University, Northridge. Since graduating, she has pursued advanced training through the Herman and Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute and numerous additional courses in women’s health, holistic healing, and functional nutrition. She incorporates this wealth of knowledge into her practice, understanding that the nervous system plays an integral role in every aspect of the healing process. A lifelong learner, Buffy considers health research both a passion and a hobby, continuously seeking ways to deepen her knowledge and serve her patients better.
Buffy and her husband are busy raising their three school-aged children and enjoy the full life that comes with their activities and interests. A former dancer, she now supports her children’s love of dance while enjoying mindful strength training, hiking, and planning family vacations.
“Before my pelvic surgery, I had no idea there was a need for pelvic therapy. I was apprehensive, but Buffy was awesome! She took time to explain the therapy help make me comfortable. She knew just when to move forward with each step. Buffy, my husband and I can’t thank you enough.”
“If you are even remotely considering seeing a pelvic floor PT, look no further, just GO! Buffy is a leader in her field, passionate about the work, a consummate professional, and most importantly, she is incredibly empathic. I was nervous, emotional and very hesitant about my first visit, but Buffy put me at ease immediately, and throughout the appointment. She showed compassion, concern, and provided me hope when I felt pretty low about injuries I had suffered during child birth. She can help a woman at any stage in her life, and she is just truly incredible. I feel so confident in Buffy, that even though my insurance will cover me 100% somewhere else, I gladly pay out of pocket to see her because there is no one else I would trust as much as her to help me recover. You are in the best of hands to not only improve a specific condition, but to also improve your overall total health. Buffy is such an asset to women in our community! ”
“Buffy is amazing! So knowledgeable, skilled, and understanding. She was able to find the missing puzzle piece in my rehab journey with diastasis recti and identify other medical issues that no other PT or doctor had. If you struggle with diastasis, pelvic floor issues, etc, please visit her!”
