Your body experiences big changes, like pregnancy, postpartum recovery, menopause, surgery and others. We are here to help you through these times with expert women’s health physical therapy, useful tools and a care plan focused on your goals.
Conditions we treat
- Pelvic floor dysfunction
The pelvic floor muscles support the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus and rectum. These muscles can weaken or become tight, leading to urinary incontinence, pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction. Our physical therapists are trained in pelvic floor therapy, using exercises and techniques to strengthen or relax these muscles.
- Pregnancy-related pain
Pregnancy can cause a variety of aches, including chronic pain in the lower back, pelvic area and sciatic nerve. Our physical therapists help alleviate these symptoms through targeted exercises, manual therapy and other specialized techniques.
- Menopause-related issues
Menopause can bring changes that affect women’s health, such as vaginal dryness and osteoporosis. Our therapists guide women in managing these symptoms with exercise, training, creams, and referrals when needed.
- Breast cancer rehabilitation
Women who have undergone breast cancer treatment may face physical and emotional challenges, including lymphedema, fatigue, scar tissue adhesions, and limitations in shoulder and neck mobility. Our therapists help patients regain strength, mobility and confidence through specialized exercises and supportive therapies.
- Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures. Women, particularly after menopause, are more likely to develop this condition. Our physical therapists design exercise programs to maintain bone density, improve strength and reduce the risk of falls.
Pelvic floor physical therapy
Pelvic floor dysfunctions, such as urinary incontinence, can be a real problem for many people. If you’re experiencing this, you are not alone. More than 13 million Americans suffer from incontinence, and women are twice as likely as men to develop this condition. Urinary incontinence isn’t limited to older adults; it can affect younger people as well. This can be extremely embarrassing and may impact your daily activities. Many people experience incontinence while sneezing, laughing, weight lifting, running, or coughing.
Incontinence can result from various circumstances, including pregnancy, vaginal surgery or weak pelvic floor muscles. Whether you fall into one of these categories or another, pelvic floor physical therapy can help you manage this common condition.
How can pelvic floor physical therapy help? Our experienced therapists provide exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles and improve bladder control. By working with a specially trained therapist, you can decrease the frequency and urgency of incontinence and regain confidence in your daily activities.
Prenatal and postpartum physical therapy
We address lower back pain, pelvic discomfort and postural changes caused by pregnancy-related shifts. Many women assume they must endure pain throughout pregnancy or that it will resolve after delivery. Physical therapy can help manage symptoms safely and effectively during pregnancy and address any lingering postpartum discomfort.
Approximately 40% of women report low back pain six months after childbirth. Early intervention can reduce discomfort, improve function and support a safe return to activity.
