Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is a subspecialty of physical therapy in which therapists address the muscles, nerves and connective tissue of the pelvic floor, or pelvic diaphragm, to assist patients with a variety of diagnoses and conditions. The pelvic floor is the base to the body’s core and performs many functions throughout one’s day and life. Pelvic floor therapy may be a part of a larger recovery or addressing a dysfunction all on its own.
While pelvic floor problems are common, they are not normal problems, and they do not have to be a part of your life.
The Pelvic Health Physical Therapy program offered through Rehabilitation Services at Aspen Valley Health focuses on treatment of conditions that affect the low back, pelvic floor and the hips. Our rehab experts offer a complete evaluation with an individualized tailored approach, including a biomechanical movement screening, functional strength evaluation and, if appropriate, an internal examination for a complete pelvic floor strength, endurance and coordination assessment. At Aspen Valley Health, we will always create an individualized treatment plan to address each patient’s specific goals.
