Physical Therapy for Women's Health
What is Women's Health Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy can ease a number of women’s health problems, including urinary incontinence, pelvic pain and pre- and postpartum discomfort. At the Cherry Creek Wellness Center, we thoroughly assess each patient’s low-back and pelvic muscles, flexibility and tone. Our physical therapists use muscle re-education, soft-tissue work, joint mobilization, biofeedback and more in patient-specific programs to eliminate pain and improve function. We aim to make our patients partners in their health and rehabilitation, encouraging them to take an active role in managing their health.
