Bianca Saad
PT, DPT, CAFS, CAPP-OB
Bianca received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in San Diego, and moved to Seattle in 2016. She specializes in pelvic health with an enthusiastic interest in the subspecialty of antepartum and postpartum care. Bianca’s passion lies in supporting people throughout their pregnancy and 4th trimester as their body undergoes unique biomechanical change. In addition to pelvic health, she enjoys treating other orthopaedic diagnoses and movement dysfunction, such as post-operative care, athletic injuries, the nagging ache or pain, and preventative care. She loves watching people get back to their jam and become equipped to manage their own movement health.
Bianca’s professional life is enhanced by her relationship with her family, food, travel, and her lifelong hobbies of running and skiing. She will also never refuse a hike or a yoga class, and aspires to be the swimmer her black labrador is. To her, life’s value is in doing what makes you come alive. Physical therapy restores the quality of a life, and she loves being able to help people get back to whatever that looks like for them. She feels blessed to say she absolutely loves her profession.
