Evidenced Based Therapy

The pelvic floor is a complex system. It has both ANS & PNS components. So while yes, it is muscular, it is also affected by emotions, nervous system, trauma, etc. Most dysfunction has been present for a LONG time. We are committed to taking a total system approach: including orthopedic, neurophysiological, and psychosocial. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of pelvic floor health, we address not only the physical but also the emotional and neurological aspects. In our dedicated time with each patient, we encourage collaborative efforts for improved patient outcomes and overall higher standard of care.

We have attached a few articles for your viewing pleasure: HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
