- UltrasoundIt can help by teaching you how to strengthen and improve coordination of weakened pelvic floor and abdominal muscles using biofeedback equipment and real-time rehabilitative ultrasound imaging.
- OrthopedicsI currently balance my practice between traditional orthopedics and pelvic floor conditions. I am just as comfortable and happy to treat you for spinal pain, shoulder problems, difficulty walking, post surgical rehab or deconditioning. Although I have chosen to specialize in what is traditionally referred to as “women's health” physical therapy, countless men struggle silently with significant urological and colorectal conditions as well. And though the general public may not be aware of physical therapy's role in this region, there is a constantly growing database of research proving the effectiveness of physical therapy.

- Physical TherapyMillions of women and men suffer with incontinence. Weakened pelvic floor muscles, which support the internal organs of the pelvis and prevent leakage, are a major cause of incontinence. Pelvic floor muscles in spasm can contribute to incontinence and can cause pain in the rectal and pelvic region. Physical Therapy offers muscle re-education and bladder retraining, so that each individual can learn how to effectively use these muscles to reduce their symptoms.
