Services
Pelvic Physical Therapy
Specialized treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction addresses conditions like pelvic pain and urinary incontinence through manual therapy and biofeedback. Our board-certified therapists use both external and internal techniques to release trigger points and improve muscle function. This therapy benefits patients experiencing painful sex, bowel dysfunction, and post-surgical recovery.
Pregnancy and Postpartum Issues
We treat pregnancy-related conditions including lower back pain, pelvic instability, and postpartum recovery from childbirth. Our approach addresses perineal pain, bladder issues, and pelvic organ prolapse through targeted exercises and manual therapy. Treatment continues post-delivery to restore core strength and address diastasis recti.
Back and Neck Pain
Our specialists address cervical and lumbar spine pain caused by herniated discs, poor posture, or muscle imbalances. Treatment combines manual therapy, myofascial release, and therapeutic exercise to improve mobility and reduce nerve compression. We also treat sacroiliac joint disorders contributing to chronic back pain.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
We provide conservative management for pelvic organ prolapse through pelvic floor strengthening and lifestyle modifications. Our therapists address bladder, uterine, and rectal prolapse caused by pregnancy, chronic constipation, or obesity using non-surgical interventions to improve support structures and reduce symptoms.
Diastasis Recti
Specialized treatment for abdominal muscle separation focuses on core stabilization and progressive strengthening. We employ Pilates-based exercises and manual therapy to restore midline integrity and improve trunk stability, particularly for postpartum women experiencing weakened abdominal walls.
