Pelvic Health
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.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy involves soft tissue or joint mobilizations. It can be done using the therapist's hands or using tools to reduce tension, improve mobility, assist in tissue healing and reduce inflammation. This includes cupping, IASTM, myofascial release and trigger point release.
