What does pelvic health physical therapy entail?
Sierra’s assessment will address more than a few systems. She will begin by asking you questions about how symptoms have started and progressed, any medical/surgical history, and anything else that may be relevant for your health and goals.
Then she will conduct a movement screen of spine, hip, knee, and ankle mobility, visceral/abdominal mobility, balance, leg and core strength. She will analyze any findings and discuss pertinent anatomy. She will go over the details of a pelvic floor assessment, what nerves, muscles, and ligaments are assessed and how these may be implicated in your history.
After completing the assessment she will address any tissue or movement restrictions, establish a home program of exercises or stretching specific to your limitations, and educate you on any life style changes that may be recommended to reach your goals. You will work together to design a plan tailored to you.
