Meet Your PT: Dr. Raichura on Creating a More Compassionate Path to Pelvic Health

July 8, 2025

At Bloom, care is not one-size-fits-all. And that’s intentional.

At the heart of Bloom Wellness Physical Therapy is Dr. Janvi Raichura, whose approach to care is grounded in empathy, education, and empowerment. Dr. Raichura has created a practice that feels more like a partnership than a prescription. 


And that’s no accident.


“I take the time to understand each patient’s unique goals, routines, and lifestyle,” she says. “Our plan of care should feel realistic, sustainable, and meaningful to them. I aim to meet people where they are and build from there.”


Her approach is deeply personal and it comes from years of listening, learning, and living out what it means to care for the whole person, not just their symptoms.


A Lightbulb Moment That Sparked a Calling

Dr. Raichura’s path to pelvic floor therapy began during her first year in PT school at the University of Southern California. It was a lecture comparing childbirth to running a marathon that stopped her in her tracks.


“We would never tell someone to gain 40 pounds, not train, and then expect them to run a marathon,” she recalls. “But that’s how we talk to women sometimes. That moment introduced me to pelvic health, and the more I learned, the more I was sure it’s what I wanted to do.”


With a mother who worked as an occupational therapist, healthcare had always been on her radar. But what drew her in was the opportunity to make a tangible, lasting difference in people’s lives.


“PT gives you the flexibility to be creative in how you treat,” she says. “It’s not as rigid as other medical disciplines, and that sparked a lot of joy and intrigue for me.”


Building Bloom: From Experience to Empowerment

After graduating, Dr. Raichura spent time at two very different clinics: a boutique practice where she had the freedom to provide highly individualized care, and a hospital-based system that offered mentorship and structure.


“I loved the creativity of the boutique clinic,” she explains. “But I was the only pelvic floor therapist there, and as a new grad, I really needed someone to bounce ideas off of.”


At the hospital, she found that professional growth, but also the limits of an insurance-based model. “It became harder and harder to treat patients holistically,” she says. “That’s when I knew I needed to create something different.”


With a strong foundation under her belt and a clear vision of what patient care should feel like, she launched Bloom Wellness: a space where every patient’s story is heard, and every treatment plan is built to fit into real life.


Who Pelvic Floor PT Is Really For

“One of the biggest misconceptions is that pelvic floor physical therapy is only for women—specifically pregnant or postpartum women,” says Dr. Raichura. “But the truth is, everyone has a pelvic floor, which means anyone can potentially benefit from this kind of care.”


At Bloom, she treats people of all genders for a wide range of concerns: urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, chronic constipation, and even low back or hip pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments. What they often have in common is simple: they didn’t know help was available.


By providing thoughtful education and individualized care, Dr. Raichura helps her patients move beyond temporary fixes and toward a deeper understanding of their own bodies.


“One of the most meaningful changes I see is how much better people understand themselves. That awareness leads to real lifestyle shifts – around movement, posture, stress, and self-care – that support long-term healing.”


What Makes Bloom Different

At Bloom, care is not one-size-fits-all. And that’s intentional.


“Many of my patients are juggling careers, families, and full lives,” Dr. Raichura says. “The last thing they need is a rigid treatment plan that adds more stress.”

Her philosophy is simple: care should meet people where they are. 


Whether someone’s recovering from birth, preparing for pregnancy, managing pelvic pain, or simply wants to feel stronger and more connected to their body, Bloom offers a space to heal without judgment.


“Empowerment isn’t about doing everything perfectly,” she explains. “It’s about helping people feel capable, supported, and heard as they make progress on their own terms.”


Advice for Anyone Who’s Unsure

If you’ve been struggling for a long time but feel nervous to seek help, Dr. Raichura gets it.


“It can feel really daunting, even embarrassing, to talk about something so personal,” she says. “A lot of people wonder if their issue is ‘bad enough’ to get help, or they’ve been told it’s just something they have to live with.”


Her response is always the same: you deserve to feel good in your body. “You don’t have to wait until things are unbearable. Even small symptoms matter.” She points to common signs people often ignore — leaking when sneezing or running, peeing “just in case,” constipation, discomfort during sex, or lingering hip and back pain — as examples of issues that often trace back to the pelvic floor.


“These might seem minor, but they’re your body’s way of asking for support. Addressing them early can prevent more serious problems later.”
