Meet The Team 

Dr. Ijeoma Nwankpa , PT, DPT, WCS , CLT at COPE PT

“I’ve always been amazed by the resilience of the human body. My journey into pelvic health began in my early 20s after being diagnosed with endometriosis. Despite undergoing surgeries and treatment, I continued to experience pelvic and lower abdominal pain due to lingering scar tissue. It wasn’t until I worked with a pelvic health physical therapist that everything changed. I was introduced to effective, personalized self care strategies and for the first time my symptoms truly improved.

That experience shaped my path and solidified my passion for pelvic health. I love empowering patients through education and helping them reconnect with their bodies, whether they are navigating urinary or bowel concerns, pregnancy and postpartum changes, or chronic pain. My goal is to be the provider who reassures you that your symptoms are real, valid, and treatable and that healing is possible.”
