Women's Health includes specific treatment for those patients experiencing pelvic dysfunction, including pain and incontinence issues. Proformance Rehab specializes in core strengthening and stabilization. The pelvic floor muscles are an extremely important component of "the core," however they are the only group of muscles that cannot be palpated and specifically assessed by other musculoskeletal therapists. Using palpation, specialized soft tissue techniques and biofeedback a women's health physical therapist will not only be able to help the patient strengthen the pelvic floor muscles but also treat an overactive painful pelvic floor when necessary. In addition, women's health physical therapy addresses pre and post pregnancy issues, including low back or sacroiliac pain, sciatica, carpel tunnel, diastasis recti and weakness.
