You Don't Have to Suffer with Pelvic Pain or Incontinence

Every Woman Can Benefit From Pelvic Health Therapy!

Patterson Physical Therapy has developed a team of specialty trained therapists to treat pelvic floor dysfunction and a variety of women’s health concerns. We treat pelvic floor dysfunction in children, adults, and geriatric populations. Our team will treat bowel, bladder, and sexual function disorders and works closely with the client to meet their needs. If you are uncertain if this therapy will help your needs, then we offer free consultations with one of our pelvi health specialist team members.

During pelvic floor therapy, we use modalities such as biofeedback, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, yoga therapy, myofascial release techniques, manual joint mobilization and therapeutic exercises for overall pain control, bladder retraining, and pelvic girdle strengthening.

“I have been to several doctors and even had surgery, but nothing helped my pelvic pain. Beth Patterson was able to find the cause of the pain and help teach me how to reduce the pain and control the symptoms. I am grateful that my doctor referred me to her.”
