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. A pelvic health PT has advanced training in bowel/ bladder health, pregnancy and postpartum issues, sexual health, and orthopedics.

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.
WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING
“It is rare to find a new healthcare provider that listens and cares. But to find one who listens, cares, is competent, professional and achieves results is remarkable. In September 2018, I was referred to Dr. Mandy Roscow for pelvic floor physical therapy. A compassionate therapist, she has helped me gain significant improvement and live a more comfortable life.” – Katie Bird
“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
