Our People

Chisako Sugiyama-Murray, PT, DPT, PCES

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist

Chisako is the founder of Built Strong Pelvic Health & Physical Therapy, and collaborates with Jennifer Layne to provide pelvic floor physical therapy in our Rutherford office.

Chisako works with women through pregnancy, postpartum recovery and every stage beyond, treating concerns including pelvic pain, leaking, pelvic pressure, core weakness, diastasis recti
and difficulty returning comfortably to exercise. Her approach is one-on-one and highly individualized, with a focus on helping patients understand what’s going on with their bodies and feel strong and confident again.

She also treats men’s pelvic floor conditions, an area that doesn’t get talked about nearly
enough. This can include pelvic or groin pain, urinary urgency or frequency, and symptoms associated with chronic prostatitis or chronic pelvic pain.

Through our collaboration with Built Strong PT, Chisako’s pelvic floor expertise fits naturally alongside the acupuncture and other care available at Jennifer Layne.
