How We Help
Our pelvic floor physical therapists address these issues through targeted, compassionate care. We support safe binding, tucking, and packing practices to prevent pain, muscle dysfunction, and posture issues. Post-surgical therapy includes scar management, facilitating neovaginal penetration, enhancing sexual function, restoring urinary health, and alleviating pain. Therapy typically begins around eight weeks post-surgery, adjusted according to specific procedures.
What to Expect
Your initial appointment includes reviewing your medical history and performing a detailed pelvic assessment to evaluate posture, joint alignment, muscle health, and strength. An optional internal exam, conducted respectfully and comfortably, helps identify specific muscle issues. Immediate manual therapy treatments provide prompt relief, and personalized care plans ensure continued improvement. Most patients experience noticeable improvement within the first few sessions.
