Women’s Health
Rehab Dynamics is a woman owned practice and we know how important it is for women to take care of themselves. There are several treatments specific to Women’s Health that our PTs specialize in including: pre/post partum, diastatsis recti, scar treatment of mastectomy or cesarean section, low back/sciatic pain pre/post partum, incontinence problems and more.
Pre/Post Partum
If you are pregnant ask your OBGYN for a referral to start physical therapy. After an extensive initial evaluation, your physical therapist will develop a plan that addresses your specific needs.
If you are pregnant, therapy at RD may include manual therapy techniques along with an exercise and stretching program. Manual therapy can help to relieve low back pain or any other discomfort you may be experiencing during or after pregnancy. We also offer massage therapy.
Postpartum treatment can include breakdown of scar tissue around the c-section. The scar tissue can adhere to internal organs causing pain or problems with the bladder.
Scar Treatment and Care
As a clinic with lymphedema therapists, we see a large number of women undergoing treatment for various cancers, including breast cancer. At times, painful scar tissue can form around the mastectomy scar, limiting shoulder range of motion. Our therapists are skilled at breaking down this tissue in order to relieve pain and increasing range of motion.
