Did You Know College Park Physical Therapy Offers Women’s Health Services?
Women’s health is an important part of what we treat at College Park Physical Therapy. Oftentimes, women are led to believe that they just have to “live with it”, or that the problems are normal and to be expected after delivering a baby. Others are ignored when discussing with medical providers or told their problem will resolve over time. At our Overland Park physical therapy clinic, we know there are many painful conditions that could impact the life of any woman, and that help is available to treat the problem.
Pain and additional issues surrounding the pelvic floor can occur for a number of reasons. It can be limiting and, for some people, even a bit embarrassing. It can hinder your daily life and prevent you from doing some of the daily tasks or activities you love.
Through our patient-focused programs, we can help reduce or eliminate the pain and symptoms you are experiencing. Contact College Park Physical Therapy today to schedule your consultation!
Will your Women’s Health services treat my condition?
If you are a woman suffering from occasional or chronic pelvic pain, physical therapy can help. Pelvic pain can occur for a vast number of reasons, and a certain pelvic therapy known as “pelvic floor rehabilitation” can help reduce or eliminate the pain and symptoms you are experiencing.
Typical patients who would be strong candidates for our pelvic floor rehabilitation treatments include:
- Pregnant women
- Postpartum women
- Postmenopausal women
- Women with pelvic organ prolapse
- Women dealing with urinary or fecal incontinence
- Women dealing with pain during intercourse
- Women dealing with pain during menstruation
- Women dealing with diastasis rectus
- Women dealing with chronic back and hip pain
- And more!
What does a Women’s Health treatment plan look like?
According to ChoosePT,
“Women’s health physical therapists have specialized education and expertise in the evaluation and treatment of both acute and chronic conditions that specifically affect women.”
At your initial appointment, you will undergo a thorough physical evaluation and review of your medical history. This will help your physical therapist determine the best course of treatment for your needs. At College Park Physical Therapy, our services include:
- Education (patient handouts and thorough information concerning your condition to take home).
- Bladder training (surrounding your bladder schedule).
- Neuro retraining (retrain your brain to incorporate your pelvic floor muscle activation during simulated daily activities).
- Biofeedback.
- Lifestyle modifications (diet, sleep, exercise, stress management)
- Pelvic floor muscle retraining
- And more, as needed.
