Are you an active mom that wants to return to running or working out after having a baby?

Our pelvic health physical therapists can help you address the unique musculoskeletal problems of the pelvic floor that can have a significant impact on your quality of life and your ability to return to running and working out.

Give us a call (503) 466-2254 to schedule an appointment with one of our pelvic health physical therapists.

Bethany offers a wide range of multidisciplinary treatments, including pelvic health physical therapy.

Pelvic health physical therapy addresses the unique musculoskeletal problems of the pelvic floor that can have a significant impact on quality of life. The pelvic floor refers to a group of muscles that lie at the bottom of the pelvis. This “sling” of muscles attaches from your p***c bone to your tailbone. Unfortunately, like any muscle in the body, the pelvic floor muscles can be injured or have dysfunction, leading to pain, weakness and loss of function.

Physical therapy can provide structured, effective and safe reconditioning of pelvic floor muscles. Our professional and caring staff have specialized training to meet the unique needs of all individuals throughout their lifespan. Through education, manual therapy, biofeedback, and exercise we assist our patients in learning how to decrease and manage their symptoms.

Our goal is to improve your function, decrease your pain, and guide you on your personal path to improved health and wellness.
We’ll also explain why you are experiencing symptoms and equip you with a detailed plan of care and a personalized home exercise program to help you reach your goals.

Give us a call (503) 466-2254 to schedule an appointment with one of our pelvic health physical therapists.
