PELVIC FLOOR REHABILITATION New Jersey

What is the rehabilitation of the pelvic floor?

Do I have pelvic floor pain?

Everyone has a pelvic floor! According to the National Health and Nutritional Exam Survey, 1 in 3 US women reported at least one pelvic floor disorder in the last decade. These dysfunctions can be both debilitating and embarrassing. With increasing awareness and education, conservative treatment can help alleviate pelvic floor dysfunction, including urinary incontinence, organ prolapse, and sexual dysfunction. Plan your assessment to see how the pelvic floor can help you!

WOMEN HEALTH AND REHABILITATION OF FLOOR

About Our Therapist:

Too often, women are ashamed to deal with pelvic pain or even say that it is merely "normal" with age or after childbirth. Bottom line - pain is the way our body tells us that something is NOT working correctly. Carly was inspired by the experiences of her patients, family, and friends and recognized the lack of conservative care options for this population.

Carly expands her knowledge about the rehabilitation of women's health and the pelvic floor thanks to the well-known Herman and Wallace Institute. She is a proud member of the Women's Health Section of the American Association of Physical Therapy, the International Society of Continuation and the International Association of Urogynaecology. Carly is a certified specialist for exercises before and after birth, thanks to the Fit for Birth method.

Carly provides a safe and non-appreciative environment and is passionate about helping patients live a happier, healthier life!

Treatment

Like other muscles, the pelvic floor may be weak, overactive, uncoordinated, or have trigger points. Treatment may include myofascial release, reinforcement, down-training techniques, motor control, and biomechanical training. Biofeedback is a tool that we can use to retrain the muscles and motor control - remember that the pelvic floor may be weak, but also overactive!

What to Expect ?

The initial assessment usually takes about 60 minutes with a Physical Therapist. You will review your past medical history as well as the history leading to the primary complaint. The condition of the skin, reflexes, strength, muscle tone and PF function will be assessed: these tests and measures are necessary to obtain the correct diagnosis and prognosis.

Our goal and approach is to provide patients with the best functional treatment plans tailored to your individual needs - with emphasis on personal attention and commitment to excellence that distinguish Bergenfield Physical Therapy as one of the primary providers of physical therapy and rehabilitation in Bergen County, New Jersey.
