Pelvic Health PT
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.

Although this type of physical therapy focuses on the abdominopelvic region, the body is evaluated as a whole. Our pelvic health therapists use their 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.
Our therapists recognize the importance of all functions of the pelvic region for your quality of life. They will address your concerns with respect and kindness, and want to assist you in meeting all of your health goals.
WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING
“My experience with pelvic rehab started with seeing Mandy Roscow. I never realized how incredible she was until I experienced other therapists. Mandy is a master at her work. Her expertise is evident in the success that I have experienced as her patient. I entered therapy with pain, restriction, and a lack of energy. I am experiencing less pain, energy has increased and am I returning to exercise and physical activity. Equal to her therapy skills is her compassion and empathy. Often, she will text or email me asking how I am doing after therapy. It is great to know that I am not a number in her weekly quota but a patient who is striving for better health.” – Susan Kurner
“I came to Rachel after I hit a wall with my pelvic floor and lower back health and she educated me on how stabilizing muscles work and gave me simple exercises to work on. After just a couple months I saw huge improvements and met all of the goals that I had shared with her at the beginning (which had felt impossible)! On our last visit, she gave me some more exercises to keep working on by myself, so even though I’ve been “discharged”, I know I have the tools I need to continue improving.” – Gabrielle Register
