At Whole Health Center you can receive physical therapy for chronic back pain and pelvic disorders. Physical therapy maximizes musculoskeletal health and involves evaluation of the way the body is moving and activating its muscles. Additionally, assessment of tightness or laxity in the body and how it can be influencing pain and dysfunction is performed. The physical therapist then develops a treatment plan that is individualized for each patient and their specific goals.
Studies have shown that physical therapy for pelvic disorders should be a first-line treatment and can provide conservative management for various pelvic floor issues. Multiple studies have also shown that addressing chronic back and sacroiliac joint pain through a stabilization program addressing the local core muscles of the transverse abdominis, lumbar multifidus, and pelvic floor muscles can improve outcomes and quality of life.
