Women’s health
Women’s Health Physical Therapy is a form of physical rehabilitation designed specifically to help women’s bodies function most effectively and pain free. Many women’s health issues stem from malfunctioning of pelvic floor muscles. When these muscles become weak or carry excess tension, they produce a variety of uncomfortable and often painful symptoms. These symptoms can be embarrassing for many women. Here at Ultra Physical Therapy & Hand Center we understand; our physical therapists are specially trained to assist in a sensitive caring environment.
Women’s Health Physical Therapists are trained to know the most efficient methods to restore, strengthen and correct functioning of a woman’s core and pelvic floor. Maybe you pee when you laugh or sneeze, this is not normal! These are things we’ve been led to believe are just what we must live with, as a normal part of aging or our postpartum bodies. In many countries women’s health therapy is the norm after childbirth to help prevent the onset of these often-embarrassing issues.
