Women's Health Program

You don't let much slow you down. Now and then though, your body can surprise you with sudden changes. At Advent Rehabilitation, we're trained to address these changes. We can help to keep you going strong.

For women only

At Advent Rehabilitation, we have therapists with special training in, and concentrate their practices on health issues unique to women.

• These issues include (but aren't limited to):
• Urinary incontinence
• Pregnancy-related pain (prenatal and postpartum)
• Problems after C-section, hysterectomy or other abdominal surgery
• Problems after mastectomy
• Pelvic Pain
• Pain during intercourse
• Back Pain
• Abdominal pain
• Osteoporosis

Conservative treatment options

We offer proven, conservative programs based on sound physical therapy principals. These programs can help patients reduce their pain and manage other symptoms - and sometimes even avoid surgery.

Some of the treatments we offer include:

• SEMG biofeedback to strengthen the pelvic floor
• Electric stimulation
• Internal vaginal or rectal trigger point release
• Fitting for maternity braces
• Prenatal/postpartum pool class
• Back education
• Modalities (i.e., ice, heat, ultrasound)

First things first: patient assessment

Before treatment begins, the therapist gives each patient a comprehensive evaluation. This helps determine the patient's current physical condition.

After the evaluation, the physical therapist works closely with the patient to meet the patient's individual needs. Treatment recommendations are discussed with the patient. (Most of our treatments are covered by insurance.)

It's amazing, what you can do

Many women are amazed to discover how much better they can feel, and how physical therapy can help address the special needs of a woman's body.

Women are often thrilled to discover what a difference body knowledge can make.

Women who suffer from incontinence can throw their pads away. Those in loving relationships can enjoy physical closeness again. Prenatal and postpartum women can experience pain relief. Post-operative patients can regain strength and mobility.

How to begin

Ask your doctor about a referral to the Women's Health Program at Advent Rehabilitation. Participation in our program requires a written referral from your physician. Ask him/her. It could mean a whole new beginning.
