Pelvic Health Physical Therapy
Pelvic physical therapy is the treatment for both female and male patents who are experiencing problems with their pelvic floor function. The pelvic floor encompass’s muscle groups that support reproductive, bladder, and bowel function, as well as regulating intr-abdominal pressure.
Treatment of these systems involve rehab of varying degrees for the muscles of the pelvis, abdominal wall, as well as postural muscles. Common populations who benefit most are people who are peri-menopausal, menopausal, recovering from abdominal surgery, pregnant, and or postpartum patients.
Some of the symptoms people will experience are incontinence while running/ jumping/ exercising/sneezing, people with pelvic pain, or pain with sex, people who have been diagnosed with endometriosis, testicular cancer or any other GI or pelvic related cancers and other surgeries that impact the abdomen, pelvic, lumbar spina, and genitals.
Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Detailed evaluation will be performed to find the “why” of your pain. Dr. Nina Lex will help to put the fire out and then give you tools to help manage your symptoms. Dr. Nina will use movement, manual therapy, and or functional dry needling as well as myofascial decompression to help you have decreased pain and improved function.
