Your therapist understands this and will be familiar with your condition and how to best help you to meet your goals. You can feel at ease in our comforting treatment areas where we provide private and individualized one-on-one care. Together, you and your therapist will develop an appropriate plan of care that will empower you and provide you with skills to improve your pelvic health.
