PELVIC FLOOR PHYSICAL THERAPY

The pelvic floor physical therapy department at Urologic Specialists is dedicated to treating conditions related to pelvic floor dysfunction (i.e, urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, fecal incontinence, constipation, and pelvic organ prolapse). Our physical therapist is specifically trained in pelvic floor rehabilitation and will develop an individualized treatment plan to meet your needs. Physical therapy is a non-invasive treatment option with no side effects and it is recognized as the first line of treatment for many pelvic floor conditions.
