Meet Lacy Santana

Lacy Santana is passionate about helping people regain the quality of life they deserve by listening to their concerns and getting to the root cause of the problem. Her love for holistic medicine lends itself to helping patients find natural alternatives to questionable medications, injections, and avoidable surgeries. 

She doesn’t just treat a problem and then stop there. Lacy feels strongly about giving patients the education and tools they need to feel in control of their “embarrassing” symptoms. When our patients graduate, they will feel empowered to tackle any pelvic related problem and become confident about their general health and fitness. 

Lacy’s passion for pelvic floor physical therapy was sparked by her own birth story. There was so much she wished she would’ve known before she went into labor for the first time. After speaking with so many mothers that were in her same situation, she felt called to make a meaningful change in the lives of others. With three kids of her own, Lacy understands pelvic floor issues on a very personal level, experiencing hip and lower back pain whenever her stress level is high. Because of this, she is passionate about exploring the impact emotional triggers can have on her patient’s symptoms. “You are so much more than your floor. There is a whole brain attached to that body of yours.”

Lacy lives in Covington and is married with three beautiful children. She had her first two kiddos while simultaneously earning her undergraduate degree in kinesiology from Southeastern and her third just a week before graduating with her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from William Carey University. She was a physical therapy tech for four years before she embarked on PT school where she later went on to earn the 2021 Excellence in Research Award. Call it tenacity or stubbornness, either way, she is a go-getter.
