Physical Therapy for Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Overview

We are pleased to offer physical therapy treatments tailored especially to women’s health. Members of our physical therapy staff have received specialized training designed to address the symptoms of pelvic floor and pelvic girdle dysfunction. The pelvic floor includes a group of muscles, tissues and ligaments that support the organs in your pelvis, including the uterus, bladder and rectum. Certain conditions, injury, childbirth and other factors can cause the muscles of the pelvic floor to not work properly.

Physical therapy can help to effectively treat and alleviate these symptoms, which may include:
• urinary incontinence
• urinary urgency, frequency, hesitancy and other voiding dysfunctions
• pelvic organ prolapse
• pelvic muscle dysfunction
• vulvar pain
• pelvic floor pain
• chronic pelvic pain
• other pain disorders including abdominal pain, tailbone pain, pain with sexual activity, nerve pain syndromes, interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome, and pain or weakness before or after childbirth

Simply ask your gynecologist or primary care provider for a referral to Day Kimball Healthcare Physical Medicine. Please note that specialty physical therapy for pelvic floor dysfunction is currently only available at our Physical Medicine office in Danielson.

During the initial evaluation, your therapist will ask questions relating to the onset and nature of your condition, previous and current functional level, the nature of any past and current medical history, and your goals for treatment. These questions, and others, will enable us to plan and coordinate your treatment for optimal results.
