Pelvic Health Physical Therapy is defined as rehabilitation for your pelvic floor. Your pelvic floor is part of the core of your body. This area is in the center of your body connected to your hips and low back. It holds several vital organs including your rectum, vagina, uterus, and bladder. It is responsible for so many functions in your body. Which is why when there is a pelvic floor issue, dysfunction can arise in several areas of the body. Pelvic PT can help reduce pain, and regain function of bowels and bladder.
It should be standard after birth to have a 6 week PT evaluation. But it’s not. So I offer this to you!
The evaluation will include:
- movement assessment
- full history review
- Interventions including lifestyle changes and pain management
- holistic medicine including yoni steam, belly binding, massage, affirmations, nutrition (snacks may be included 😉)
- exercise prescription
- birth story debrief
I treat several conditions including:
- Urinary incontinence
- Postpartum return to exercise
- Back pain
- caesarean scar massage
- pelvic organ prolapse
- diastasis recti
- preparing for birth
- postpartum weakness and core strengthening
- and more!
Interventions can include education, exercises, movement analysis, self massages , relaxation techniques, breathing techniques . I lot of what I do is education based and well as home programs of life style changes to help you get better!
- My private practice is CASH based only. No insurance is taken. If you have questions please ask! Depending on the plan of care we establish, will depend on how many visits you will need. After the evaluation, the subsequent visits will be booked together in a package.
- If I find that you would benefit from other like minded professionals, I will be happy to refer you to those in the community!
What to expect at your first visit!?:
First, we will talk. You will have the opportunity to share your history and concerns. Through discussion, history, movement assessment etc. I can determine a plan of action unique to you. Sessions tend to gear toward education, exercises, and feedback so you are performing techniques correctly.
We will work on :
- breathwork
- core strengthening
- surrounding muscle strengthening
- education
- mindset
- emotional release
- posture
- relaxation
- positioning and more!
Here is an example of a timeline of when to schedule your visits!
