Women’s Health – Incontinence
Physical Therapists are Health Care Professionals trained to evaluate and treat muscles, joints and movement of the body. Urinary incontinence, in many cases, is the result of weak muscles or dysfunction through the pelvis. With appropriate physical therapy treatment you can return to activities you enjoy, without the anxiety of incontinence.
Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain can occur at anytime in a woman’s life, frequently causing significant physical and emotional distress and adversely affect her quality of life. Physical Therapists that are specially trained in Women’s Health can safely and effectively help women who suffer from pelvic pain.
Mastectomy
Breast surgery can irritate the soft tissues of the shoulder girdle and the surrounding soft tissues.
