Women's Physical Therapy

We offer a full range of physical therapy services that address the unique health issues of women. We provide a professional approach to treatment in surroundings that are both comfortable and private.

For women with physical limitations, we offer physical therapy and rehabilitative programs tailored to meet their individual needs and fitness goals. Specific treatment regimens are determined after a thorough evaluation and may include a combination of the latest manual techniques or exercise. We also offer a variety of targeted therapies to help women improve their health and fitness at every stage of life.

Pregnancy and postpartum

Safe exercise and techniques can improve mobility and help keep expectant moms healthy, while providing relief for neck and lower-back pain, carpal-tunnel pain and foot problems. After delivery, we can help moms recover abdominal muscle control and relieve postpartum discomfort, as well as provide instruction on how to minimize Cesarean-section scarring.

Pelvic pain

Our thorough evaluation helps pinpoint areas of discomfort for effective pain relief. Treatments may include soft-tissue and joint mobilization, biofeedback, electrical stimulation and exercise.

Urinary or fecal continence

By targeting specific pelvic-floor muscle problems with treatment that includes electrical stimulation, biofeedback and exercises, we can help you to retrain muscles and minimize that leaking or "falling out" sensation.

Osteoporosis

Patients work one-to-one with a therapist on a personalized exercise program designed to increase bone mass, strength, balance and mobility.

Sports medicine and conditioning

Female athletes who are recovering from a sports-related injury or who need conditioning can benefit from advances in sports medicine and customized athletic training, including functional testing and biomechanical and isokinetic evaluations. Our staff is trained to address the sports-specific requirements of the female athlete at any age to help her reach her full potential.
