PELVIC HEALTHPHYSICAL THERAPY
Pelvic health physical therapy focuses on issues related to the core of the body. This includes structures connected to the bony pelvis (lumbar spine, sacrum, SI joint, and tailbone). In addition, all of the vital functions that occur in the abdominopelvic region, such as digestion and sexual health, are addressed with this type of therapy. A pelvic health PT has advanced training in bowel/ bladder health, pregnancy and postpartum issues, sexual health, and orthopedics.

Meet our Pelvic Health Physical Therapist: Dr. Mandy Roscow, DPT
Mandy has been practicing in the field of physical therapy for over 18 years. Early in her career, she discovered her passion for treating women's health issues. Eventually, she also expanded her knowledge base into men's pelvic health as well. She has taken extensive education in manual therapy skills for the abdominopelvic region. She has worked in various clinical settings, all with a focus on pelvic health. In addition to clinical care, Dr. Roscow has participated in research publications and is adjunct faculty at Santa Fe College. With extensive experience in the treatment of patients with pelvic health issues, she recognizes the importance of all functions of this region for your quality of life.

Although this type of physical therapy focuses on the abdominopelvic region, the body is evaluated as a whole. Dr. Roscow uses her skills as a musculoskeletal expert to look at all components of the core. Connections exist between the respiratory diaphragm, abdominal muscles, low back and the pelvic floor. These are all examined during your 90 minute one-on-one comprehensive evaluation.
