Pelvic Health

Our Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation program was developed in order to help patients that are faced with painful and/or bothersome symptoms which interfere with their daily lives.

We understand that these issues are complex and may include urinary, colorectal and musculoskeletal components.

Whether you are having issues with leakage of urine or experiencing pelvic pain; we have tools to help you navigate your next step. There are an alarming number of people that are affected by pelvic pain/dysfunction and incontinence, yet many are not aware that help is out there. Physical therapy for pelvic health and incontinence can help you develop the tools to manage your symptoms.

Please feel free to contact our participating clinics with additional questions regarding physical therapy treatments for men and women with pelvic floor dysfunction.

What to expect at your first appointment:

A Pelvic Health physical therapist will sit down with you, one-on-one, and discuss what’s going on, your medical history, and overall lifestyle. We are trained to treat all ranges of pelvic floor dysfunction and know how personal an intimate this can be. We will evaluate your posture, hips, back, and pelvic floor to determine the best plan for YOU to get back where you want to be.

A typical initial evaluation also includes:

  • Review of bowel and bladder diary
  • Internal examination of muscle tone and scarring
  • Assessment of pelvic floor strength, coordination, and endurance

Further information may be gathered with the use of biofeedback of the pelvic floor muscles and abdominal muscles. Your treatment will be individualized to your particular needs and may include manual therapy, education regarding your condition, biofeedback enhanced pelvic floor muscle training, instruction in a home program, core strengthening, and use of modalities as needed.

Patients will leave with a personalized treatment plan and the confidence that their personal therapist will work alongside them to help reach their goals and improve their pelvic health.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If we are asking you to do something that is hurting too much, let us know! Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.

  • We recommend budgeting 40-60 minutes for a typical therapy session. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 10-15 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.

  • A typical order for physical therapy will ask for 2-3 visits per week for 4-6 weeks. Sometimes the order will specify something different. What generally happens is for the first 2-3 weeks, we recommend 3x per week. This is because it will be the most intensive portion of your treatment. After that, it is common to taper to 2x weekly, based on your level of function and progress.

  • Yes. Physical therapy works based on the science of how the body rebuilds and heals. The biggest killer of progress is inconsistency. We recommend adhering to your prescribed sessions agreed upon in your PT Eval to achieve desired results.

Hear from patients that reclaimed their lives.

Michelle has been amazing to work with. She quickly diagnosed the root cause of the issues that continued to plague me after recovering from hip replacement surgery that other PT's (different companies) could not. She listens, is creative, resourceful, and very knowledgeable. Everyone at the clinic is always very professional and interested in our progress.

I saw Anne at 7 weeks post ulnar nerve transposition. I’ve made more progress in 1 week with her than I did in those first 7.  She is extremely knowledgeable and up to date on current research.  I'd feel very good about sending my family and friends her way!

I started PT after a car accident. The staff was extremely helpful not just with injuries from the accident, but also other issues that had been bothering me. They are very good at communicating problems and solutions and are friendly to boot. Can’t recommend enough.

I have been going to Summit Therapy for a shoulder problem. I've made steady progress and have gotten much pain relief. The staff is very friendly and great to work with. I recently had a sudden problem of vertigo. My therapist knew exactly what to do and performed a treatment that stopped the dizziness.
