#154 Therapy on the Go & Therapy Down Below: Mary & Lis Talk Mobile PT & Pelvic Health
This week on Brews & Banter, hosts Roman and Frank crack open a couple of cold ones with two standout guests: Mary Batchelor MSPT, the mobile physical therapist behind Vitality PT of CNY who brings outpatient PT right to your home, and Dr. Elisabeth “Lis” Auburn, PT, DPT, the founder of Blue Pelvic Physical Therapy PLLC whose practice specializes in pelvic-floor therapy with a whole-body, person-centered approach. Over beers and banter, Mary shares how she started her mobile PT business to break down the barriers of traditional clinic care—traveling to clients and treating them in their homes to keep them active and moving. Meanwhile Lis walks us through the world of pelvic health, why this often-overlooked field matters, and how her one-on-one sessions at Blue Pelvic give clients clarity, confidence and control over their bodies. From the practical (“How do you fit workouts into a road-warrior schedule?”) to the personal (“What’s the weirdest home-visit moment you’ve had?”), we dive into the hustle, heart, and humor behind what they do. It’s a smart, fun conversation about movement, mindset, and mechanics—just the way we like it. Grab your favorite brew, press play, and enjoy the ride. 🍻
