First off, let’s define what a Women’s Health Physical Therapist (PT) is and how she can help you! Also commonly referred to as a Pelvic Health PT. This is somebody who supports a woman’s physical health and wellness. They help her overcome physical body challenges, so she can maintain a healthy, happy and active body!
A woman’s body goes through a multitude of natural changes throughout her lifetime. Stop and take a moment to reflect on your own life journey for a second. From teenage puberty…to menstrual cycles …to sexual activity…to pregnancy…to postpartum…to perimenopause …to menopause…to post menopause.
Shall I go on?
Every woman’s journey and story is authentic and equally important. As our bodies adapt and change throughout our lives, we can become prone to inactivity, weakness, body image dissatisfaction, pain, injury or even chronic illness. NOT COOL!
A Woman’s Health PT helps women overcome obstacles that may be impacting her physical body’s health, so she can stay active, healthy and well!
