Women’s Health

Here at Premier Physical Therapy, our women’s health therapists have achieved specialty training to address many of the unique health needs women experience. Our highly trained staff treat women-specific symptoms and use research-supported techniques to reduce pain and restore function.

Women’s Health Conditions:

  • Pregnancy-related conditions – During pregnancy, extra stress on the musculoskeletal system can result in a variety of issues, including low back pain, sciatica, urine leakage, sacroiliac/pubic pain, thoracic/rib pain, abdominal muscle pain and separation (diastasis recti, carpal tunnel, and headaches.

  • Post-partum Conditions – After childbirth, some women experience conditions requiring treatment, including abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti) and pain; pelvic floor muscle weakness syndromes; C-section scar pain, and upper and lower back pain.

  • Post-surgical Conditions – Poorly healing incision sites or adherent surgical scars can result in pain and neuromuscular dysfunction, and abdominal weakness after surgery can lead to poor posture, low back pain, and excess strain on the pelvic floor muscles.

  • Osteoporosis

  • Fibromyalgia/Myofascial Pain Syndrome

  • Episiotomy Scarring

  • Painful intercourse

  • Incontinence Issues

  • Constipation

  • Pain related to tampon insertion and/or bowel movements
