Symptoms & Issues

Below are common issues that may affect a woman’s health at some juncture in their life. Many women are uncomfortable or embarrassed to discuss these issues with their family doctor or specialist. Perhaps you or someone you know may have discussed these issues and dismissed them as something that just naturally happens and must be tolerated.

Physical therapy can help to reduce or resolve these issues. An evaluation will determine your problem areas and then an individualized treatment program will be designed to improve your function, decrease pain and enable you to manage your symptoms more effectively.
