Treatments
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Pelvic floor physical therapy addresses pain, weakness, or dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles function well and allow blood to flow to connective tissue and muscle tissue. This improves mobility.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is a great first-line treatment for most muscle and joint problems. Clinically proven to reduce pain and dysfunction, physical therapy also saves you time and money too.
Cupping
Cupping is not a comfortable treatment generally speaking. Fortunately, it can be administered in varying amounts of pressure which makes it manageable for most of our patients who need this helpful treatment.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a safe, effective and non-invasive treatment method that is used by pelvic therapists, massage therapists, and athletic trainers. Typically, patients visit a manual therapist when they are experiencing musculoskeletal pain.
Lactation Counseling
Lactation counseling is a crucial aspect of postpartum care, and it can be especially important for women seeking pelvic floor physical therapy. Women who have recently given birth often face a range of physical and emotional challenges
