Pelvic Floor Therapy
At St. Luke’s, we treat patients with pelvic floor dysfunctions,
which are problems that consist of pain and disruption of bladder, bowel
and/or sexual function due to restrictions of the muscles and nerves of
the pelvis. Through pelvic floor therapy, our goal is to minimize side
effects and to encourage patients to have the best quality of life possible.
Our Team
Our team of physical and occupational therapists treat patients with pelvic
floor dysfunctions through education, manual therapy, biofeedback, neuromuscular
stimulation as well as internal and external palpations and treatment.
