Pelvic Health Physical Therapist focuses on bladder issues, incontinence, reproductive organs (pain with sex), chronic pain, postpartum moms, pregnancy, abdominal separation, endometriosis, pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse, tailbone pain, and muscle spasms. .
Dry Needling
Dry needling creates very small lesions into the soft tissue to help with dysfunction, decrease inflammation, decrease nerve sensitivity, decrease scar tissue formation, and decrease adhesions. It is called dry needling because nothing is on the needle and the needle is so tiny that no scar tissue is created.
