Welcome to Numa Physical Therapy

Hi, I’m Dr. Cassidy Hing, PT, DPT.

Ever since high school, I knew I wanted to be a physical therapist. Growing up as a multi-sport athlete, I learned early on how deeply our sense of self and freedom are tied to how our bodies move. This drove me to earn a degree in psychology from UC Irvine before graduating with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Southern California in 2020. My background in psychology completely shapes how I practice today—reminding me that healing is just as much mental and emotional as it is physical.

I started out in an outpatient practice, treating a broad spectrum of conditions—from persistent back and neck pain to high-level sports injuries and complex movement dysfunctions with a splash of vestibular and balance therapy. But over time, my focus has shifted toward a clear mission: women’s health and pelvic floor physical therapy.

I have completed specialized clinical training on the pelvic floor which addresses specific conditions related to the reproductive, urinary and digestive systems, in addition to its critical role in core stability. As a pelvic floor physical therapist, I have a unique set of skills and knowledge that is nowhere else in healthcare: namely, the ability to directly address tissue manually and neurologically that is impacting systems throughout the body and, more importantly, everyday functions and needs.

But as I continue to dive deeper in working in this specialty, a frustrating reality has become clear: women’s healthcare is historically under-researched and far too often minimized. I constantly see women ignoring disruptive symptoms—leaking, pelvic instability, heaviness, or pain with daily movement—because they believe it’s "just normal after kids," have been dismissed by providers, or are simply too busy caring for everyone else.

I am here to change that narrative. Your discomfort is not a footnote, and you do not have to live with it.

What Recovery Looks Like Here

No two bodies are identical, and treating symptoms with unspecific protocols or online programs rarely solve the deeper issue. I work with my clients to consider their whole life and physical history to discover what has brought your body past the threshold of symptoms, what habits are keeping it there, and what obstacles are in the way of finding relief and living a full, uninhibited life.

I approach the body through an integrated lens, addressing both biomechanical efficiency and nervous system regulation with consideration for:

• The Four Foundational "Floors": True core stability relies on a dynamic interplay between the feet, pelvic floor, diaphragm, and head/neck/jaw axis. I believe addressing these structural pillars will provide your body with structural stability and dynamic mobility through your daily activities.

• Nervous System & Mindset: Pain and dysfunction alter how your brain and body communicate. By combining musculoskeletal mechanics with a biopsychosocial approach, your body works together with your mind instead of fighting it.

• Intentional Design & Restoration: I hold a deep belief that our bodies were created beautifully, intentionally, and systematically equipped to heal, recover, and thrive. My role is to help you listen to your body’s signals and coach it back to its original, intended way of functioning.
