Pelvic Floor Therapy
Specialized treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction, addressing incontinence, pelvic pain, and sexual dysfunction through manual therapy, biofeedback, and targeted exercises. Our therapists use evidence-based techniques to strengthen or relax pelvic muscles, improving bladder and bowel control while enhancing quality of life for both men and women.
Biofeedback Therapy
Advanced biofeedback technology helps patients gain control over pelvic floor muscles using real-time data. This non-invasive treatment addresses urinary and fecal incontinence by teaching proper muscle engagement, reducing pain, and restoring normal function through personalized training sessions and home exercise programs.
Manual Therapy
Skilled manual techniques alleviate musculoskeletal pain and improve mobility through soft tissue mobilization and joint manipulation. Our therapists address back pain, postural issues, and pelvic floor tension with customized sessions that reduce inflammation, enhance circulation, and restore natural movement patterns for long-term recovery.
Postpartum Physical Therapy
Comprehensive rehabilitation for postpartum women, treating diastasis recti, pelvic pain, and incontinence. Our programs combine core strengthening, scar tissue mobilization, and posture correction to restore physical function, alleviate discomfort, and support new mothers in resuming daily activities with confidence.
Back Pain Treatment
Targeted interventions for acute and chronic back pain, including therapeutic exercises, TENS units, and posture education. Our approach strengthens supporting muscles, improves flexibility, and prevents recurrence through individualized plans that address underlying causes like muscle strain, disc issues, or poor ergonomics.
