Dr. Girlinghouse has been practicing as a PT for over 13 years. In that time she has obtained her Fellow Status under AAOMPT, the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy and become an expert Pelvic Health PT.

In addition to mentoring pelvic PTs, she has also created Ortho-Pelvic Institute with a colleague. They teach in-person manual therapy courses to pelvic PTs to blend the pelvic floor and the rest of the body.

Dr. Girlinghouse has built a multi-clinician practice with 2 locations in McKinney and Dallas Texas in which she trained her team to be premier PTs. She now treats in her second clinic, a Pelvic Pain PT practice focused on intensive therapy with quick outcomes. This clinic moves from state to state as Dr. Girlinghouse travels with her family in their RV full-time.
