Meet Your Therapist

Care for the whole person — never just a symptom.

Hi, I'm Dr. Corrine Macchi, PT, DPT. I'm a Doctor of Physical Therapy and certified yoga instructor who built Modern Core Health around a basic belief: your body is connected, your story matters, and you deserve to be heard — not hurried.

My Story

From the yoga mat to the pelvic floor

My path to pelvic health didn't start in a clinic — it started on a yoga mat. Years before I became a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I was teaching yoga and noticing how breath, posture, and the deep core all worked together. When I dove into pelvic rehab, the parallels were impossible to ignore: the pelvic floor isn't an isolated set of muscles to "fix." It's part of a whole system — breath, ribs, hips, mindset, and life stage all included.

That whole-body lens shapes everything I do. I don't treat a diagnosis on a chart; I treat the person in front of me. Pelvic health is one of the most common — and most misunderstood and stigmatized — areas of care. Too many people are told to "just do your Kegels," or that leaking and pain are simply part of getting older, having a baby, or being a woman. I'm here to change that conversation, gently and for good.

"I always team up with the patient. This is your body and your pace. If something doesn't feel comfortable, we don't do it — there's always another way to get you where you want to go."— Dr. Corrine Macchi, PT, DPT

Care here is collaborative and consent-forward, every single visit. I'll explain what I'm thinking, why I'm recommending something, and what your options are — and then we decide together. Whether you're a new parent rebuilding your core, an athlete chasing comfort, or someone who's finally ready to take pelvic pain seriously, you'll be met with curiosity and zero judgment. All genders are welcome here, because every body deserves this kind of care.
