Peak Sports and Spine Physical Therapy, and our specialty trained physical therapists, strive to bring compassion and care to women of all ages, from the young athlete to the child-bearing woman, and peri-menopausal to the elderly woman. Our goal is to improve your function and decrease your pain, guiding you on your personal path to improved health and wellness.
Common Health Problems:
At your first visit, a physical therapist trained in pelvic floor muscle dysfunction will do an in-depth evaluation. This will include a general medical history, a history related to your current condition, and questions about your eating, drinking, and voiding habits. Your posture and your hip and abdominal musculature will be checked for contributing factors such as tightness and weakness. The muscles of your pelvis (the pelvic floor) will be evaluated to determine any weakness and incoordination that may be present and contributing to your incontinence. This may include an external assessment to determine if you can isolate this muscle group, and may include an internal assessment to determine your strength of these muscles, as well as the anatomical position of your muscles and the organs they support.
You will leave your visit with a better understanding of your current symptoms and condition, along with a detailed plan of care and home exercise program.
Treatment is specialized and focused on the individual needs of each of our patients and can include various specialized techniques. Prior to treatment, we recommend the following to get started:
Mom’s Vitality Program: Borne from necessity this program evolved because of how many moms we saw as patients who were all getting hurt for the same reason: Spending their entire waking day caring for everyone and everything except themselves. This program blends in body mechanics and ergonomics with exercises and wisdom from therapist who are parents too.
