Caring for Women
Women have special needs. When it comes to women's health, most women are unaware that physical therapy can help them with such issues as low back pain and incontinence. These and other problems can have a significant impact on a woman's general health and well-being.
We can help.

We offer specialized training and a wealth of experience treating women's health conditions.

Contrary to popular belief, urinary incontinence is not a natural part of aging and it can happen at any age. Often caused by physical conditions, urinary incontinence is often temporary and can be managed with simple treatments.
Post-Surgical After you've had a hysterectomy or related-type surgery, we'll be with you, side-by-side, giving you one-on-one care and encouragement every step of the way. Our goal is to complete your treatment in a timely manner so that you can return to an active lifestyle with less pain and better mobility.
We offer customized therapy for all of your changing health needs. Osteoporosis, menopause and other conditions that can affect women as they age can be addressed with physical therapy.
