Are within your control!
Many women live with pain, incontinence, and the reduced ability to carry out daily activities, work, and recreation. They believe these impairments are the consequence of life changes such as pregnancy, menopause, or aging, and that little can be done.

Pelvic Floor Pain & Dysfunction
Incontinence & Constipation
Pregnancy & Postpartum Rehabilitation
Low Back, Sacroiliac Joint, & Coccyx Pain
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Core Weakness
Fibromyalgia
Osteoporosis
Breast Health Rehabilitation
A personalized program
You will receive a comprehensive physical therapy evaluation, which includes postural analysis, flexibility and strength testing, muscle and joint mobility assessment, functional performance testing, and identification of pain sources. The evaluation might also include testing the strength, coordination, and integrity of your pelvic floor muscles. An individualized plan of care will be developed based on these findings, and goals will be established by you and your therapist. Treatment interventions may include:
Muscle re-education using biofeedback
Therapuetic exercise for improved strength
and flexibility
Myofascial release and soft tissue and
joint mobilization
Postural education
Spinal and pelvic malalignment corrections
Bladder retraining
Modalities for pain control
What to expect…
Improved function & confidence!
At the completion of your treatment, you will better understand your condition, pain will be reduced or eliminated, and you will be equipped with a home program of therapeutic exercise and symptom management techniques. As a result you will be able to more confidently return to activities of daily living, work, and recreation.
Additional resources include a series of dietary counseling classes from a registered dietitian, as well as emotional support from affiliated clinical psychologists and marriage and family therapists.
