Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic floor muscles affect bowel and bladder function, pelvic organ support, hip/back stability and sexual health. Pelvic floor physical therapists evaluate the pelvic floor, back, hip and abdominal muscles for weakness, tension and coordination with an aim to help restore optimal function through pelvic floor therapy, exercise and education. Laura treats the pelvic floor health for adult patients along the gender spectrum who have had an initial pelvic examination.

Understand Pelvic Floor Health
What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pelvic floor therapy begins with a comprehensive assessment which includes collecting your medical history and a physical examination. A full physical exam includes an evaluation of your spine, pelvis, hips, abdomen, and the musculature of your pelvic floor both internally and externally. As a patient, you may consent to any level of examination, however, a full examination is strongly encouraged for the most comprehensive assessment and results.
After completing the assessment, Dr. Laura will craft a thorough pelvic floor therapy plan of care custom to your specific needs, medical conditions, comfort level, and goals. The plan of care often includes a combination of hands-on therapies, education, exercise, and specialized training to support your healing journey to wellness.
