Pelvic Floor Therapy
Samaritan Medical Center’s pelvic floor therapy program focuses on providing individualized treatment to decrease pain, restoring normal function, and get you back to doing what you love. Our pelvic floor physical therapists have received extensive training to specialize in the muscles and function of the pelvic floor and surrounding structures to give you the highest level of care.
What is the Pelvic Floor?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and ligaments that support organs, help with bowel and bladder control, stabilize the low back and hips, and play a part in sexual function. When these muscles aren’t working correctly, they can cause a variety of issues or pain.
How Can Pelvic Floor Therapy Help Me?
At Samaritan Medical Center, our pelvic floor physical therapists will help address your pelvic dysfunction. A comprehensive muscle examination (external and internal if indicated) will be performed to assess your pelvic floor function. Next, an individualized treatment plan will be created between you and your therapist to help improve symptoms and improve your quality of life. All pelvic health sessions will be one-on-one with your trained physical therapist in a private room to meet your specific needs and comfort. We look forward to treating you!
