Women’s Pelvic Health

Prenatal & Postpartum Recovery —> The primary goal of prenatal and postpartum treatment is to support the musculoskeletal health, pelvic floor function, and overall well-being of individuals during and after pregnancy. This specialized care addresses the physical changes and demands placed on the body throughout the perinatal period. Pelvic floor physical therapy during the prenatal and postpartum periods is tailored to each individual’s needs, promoting long-term pelvic health and quality of life.

Prenatal (During Pregnancy) Goals:

• Prevent or manage pain and dysfunction

• Improve pelvic floor awareness 

• Optimize pelvic floor muscle function 

• Prepare for the birthing process

• Educate on posture, body mechanics, and safe movement

• Prevent or reduce incontinence

Postpartum (After Delivery) Goals:

• Rehabilitate the pelvic floor and core muscles

• Treat common postpartum concerns

• Restore musculoskeletal strength, stability, and function

• Support safe return to daily activities and exercise

• Provide emotional support and education 

Manual Therapy Techniques

Manual Visceral Mobilization —> A specialized hands-on therapy technique used by trained physical therapists to gently mobilize the internal organs (viscera) and surrounding connective tissues. The primary purpose of this technique is to improve the mobility, motility, and overall function of the internal organs, as well as to address restrictions in the fascial system that may be contributing to pain, dysfunction, or postural imbalances. This technique is often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, especially for patients with chronic pain, post-surgical adhesions, pelvic floor dysfunction, or unresolved musculoskeletal issues.

Key purposes include:

  • Restore Mobility and Alignment

  • Reduce Pain and Dysfunction

  • Enhance Circulation and Lymphatic Flow

  • Support Digestive and Organ Function

  • Integrate Whole-Body Function

Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) —> A gentle, hands-on technique aimed at evaluating and improving the function of the craniosacral system, comprising the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. A physical therapist uses CST as part of a holistic approach to address physical, emotional, and neurological factors contributing to a patient’s dysfunction or pain.

Key purposes of CST include:

• Reducing pain and tension

• Promoting relaxation and nervous system regulation

• Enhancing whole-body healing

• Supporting treatment of specific conditions

Myofascial Mobilization —> A hands-on manual therapy technique performed by physical therapists to address restrictions in the myofascial system, the connective tissue (fascia) that surrounds and supports muscles throughout the body. The goal is to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function by releasing tight or adhered fascia, which may be contributing to musculoskeletal dysfunction.

How It’s Done:

• The therapist uses gentle, sustained pressure and stretching techniques on the skin and underlying tissues.

• Unlike massage, it targets the fascia specifically, not just muscles.

• Movements are typically slow and deliberate to allow the fascia to release gradually.

• May be applied to localized areas of restriction or as part of a broader treatment approach.

Benefits:

• Decreases pain and tenderness

• Improves tissue flexibility and joint range of motion

• Enhances blood flow and lymphatic drainage

• Reduces muscular tension and compensatory patterns

Cancer Rehabilitation

Cancer Rehabilitation Physical Therapy —> Cancer rehabilitation physical therapy focuses on restoring function, reducing pain, and improving quality of life for individuals during and after cancer treatment. This specialized care may include:

• Manual therapy to improve tissue and joint mobility, address post-surgical restrictions, and reduce pain.

• Manual lymphatic drainage to assist with management of lymphedema and post-treatment swelling.

• Individualized therapeutic exercise programs designed to safely support recovery, rebuild strength and endurance, and promote a gradual return to daily activities and function.

Treatment is tailored to the unique needs of each patient and may address side effects such as fatigue, weakness, scar tissue restrictions, and balance impairments.
