Meet Dr. Yael Hecht

Here to Help

I am a qualified and experienced pelvic health professional who has been helping patients regain their health and wellness. I use a hollisitic, whole-body approach and an individualized treatmentment plan to solve my patients' health problems. Contact me today to learn how my unique services can help make you feel like yourself once more.

I studied Biology at York University in Toronto to receive a Bachelors of Science degree and from there, moved to New York City to achieve a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Touro College (and decided to stay for good!). My career started in Sports Orthopedics but soon I found my love and passion in helping others restore their pelvic health. I was trained in Pelvic Health by Herman and Wallace Rehabilitation Institute and also qualified as a Level 2 trainer for the Hypopressives Technique.

Conditions Treated

Pelvic Pain

Is pain stopping you from doing the things you love? Is intercourse painful? Pelvic floor PT can address this problem and create lasting results to facilitate pleaure in all that you do.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Are you a new mother and feeling like your bladder or uterus is going to fall out? Heaviness at your pelvic floor at the end of a long day? Kegels are not the end all solution - a thorough exam by a pelvic floor PT is necessary!

Pregnancy Health

Prepare your body for labor. Pain during pregnancy does not need to be tolerated and can be helped with physical therapy.

Diastasis Recti

Control of the pressure systems in the abdomen by re-training the pelvic floor, diaphragm, and core muscles. Getting rid of the lower belly pooch is possible.

Orthopedic Care

Do you have discomfort or pain in your hip, groin or low back which was not resolved with standard PT care? Pelvic floor dysfunction could be underlying issue and can be addressed.

Bladder Leaking

Urine incontinence can happen to anyone - from the athlete, new mothers, and the elderly. This occurs most commonly due to pelvic floor dysfunction and can be remedied with physical therapy. You can stop the leaking!

"Yael was extremely helpful for me in so many ways! She taught me all about my pelvic floor muscles and the way they work. As a woman it felt so empowering to be aware of these muscles as it made drastic changes for me with regard to intimacy! Everyone has the right to learn about their bodies and get the help they need in this area. Yael was super patient and understanding during our sessions, and we saw major improvement after having only ONE session together! I would recommend her a million times over."

R. G.

Thank you so much for all your help while we were neighbors and wishing you all the best on your move. The discussions we had about pelvic floor care and improving the strength of those muscles were very helpful, and I appreciate some of the additional suggestions that you gave me about practices I can do at home. You yourself are extremely pleasant to work with, and I am sure that, considering your expertise and gentle manner, you will do well in that wonderful community of Passaic."
