Pelvic Health
CORE 3 Physical Therapy:
Leading the way in Pelvic Health
Pelvic Health. It’s more than incontinence. More than simply providing a service. To get the best care possible, you need dedicated, certified professionals who are committed to providing you with the knowledge and confidence you deserve. At CORE 3 Physical Therapy our therapists are certified according to the highest standards in the industry. You are in the hands of a healthcare professional who has spent countless hours earning specializations, attending credentialing programs, and has dedicated their lives to your care. We value your privacy, which is why your care takes place in a secluded room to allow for a more comfortable and confidential setting. Privacy, comfort, and confidentiality are the cornerstones of our approach.
What does a pelvic floor examination/treatment consist of?
You may be surprised to learn that often a pelvic floor exam and treatment begins with your spine. The pelvic floor is not an island and our approach is more whole body focused. There are multiple nerves exiting various regions of the spine that provide communication to your bladder, bowel, uterus, pelvic floor muscles, and pudendal nerve that can be affected by poor back mobility. After countless courses and patients, at CORE 3 PT we have developed a unique technique to evaluate your spine to see if it could be a contributing factor to your pelvic symptoms. In some cases, it can be also beneficial to directly assess the pelvic floor muscles as well, which involves an internal muscle exam. This differs from the exam most women are accustomed to at their gynecological visits; we do not use a speculum, and we focus on the evaluation of muscle strength and integrity. Exam and treatment options are presented to patients in a way that allows them to learn the benefits to each approach and choose what best fits their comfort level.
