Physical Therapy

Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized discipline within physical therapy focused on evaluating and treating dysfunctions of the pelvic floor muscles and related systems. It addresses conditions involving bladder and bowel function, sexual health and pain, pregnancy, postpartum, and core recovery, pelvic pain, prolapse and incontinence, and coordination of the pelvic floor with the hips, spine and diaphragm.

Pelvic floor physical therapists use evidence-based interventions such as: internal and external muscle assessment (when indicated and consented), manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, therapeutic exercise, and patient education.

Quality care

Have you ever been told “YOU CAN NEVER DO ____ AGAIN.”? Is it lifting 10 pounds? Is it a sport you love? Is it being intimate with your partner? That statement is more often than not a sign that your provider does not know how to fix you or help you fix yourself. At Inclusive, we want you to live your best life, full of activities that bring you joy. If you have been told to stop doing an activity, please call our office for a free consultation to see if P.T. is right for you.

Pelvic Health

Not just women’s health. Michelle has been specially trained to perform both external and internal (if necessary) pelvic floor muscle examinations on both male and female bodies. Whether your problems with bowel, bladder, sexual dysfunction or pain started today or 20 years ago, Michelle can help you reach your goals to better quality of life through a healthy pelvis.

It can be intimidating and scary to reach out for help when experiencing symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. Many times, patients have seen up to 8 other specialists before being referred for pelvic therapy, and it is common to feel like there is no hope for what you are experiencing. We want you to feel comfortable throughout your entire journey. In fact, YOU are in control throughout the entire evaluation process. We will ALWAYS ask for consent and explain the process of evaluation prior to beginning. We can also discuss specifics of what may happen in an evaluation during your 15 minute free consultation phone call.

Back Pain Michelle, as your physical therapist, can help ease your back pain by pinpointing what’s causing it—whether it’s tight muscles, weak support structures, or movement habits that put extra strain on your spine. She’ll design a personalized program just for you, using a combination of hands-on techniques, targeted exercises, and posture or movement coaching. With her guidance, you can reduce pain, build strength and mobility, and lower the chances of future flare-ups.

Pregnancy Our pregnancy pelvic floor PT package provides four focused sessions designed to support you through every stage of pregnancy and birth. You’ll work on pelvic floor strength training and coordination, learn effective labor and delivery techniques and positions, and receive guidance on how your support person can best assist you during labor. After your baby is born, you’ll return for one follow-up visit to address any early postpartum concerns. Additional visits can be purchased at the regular rate if you need continued support beyond the fourth session.
