Did You Know Bridge Physical Therapy Offers Women’s Health Services?
Women’s health is an important part of what we treat at Bridge Physical Therapy. We offer women’s health physical therapy at our South Ogden, UT and Ogden Athletic Club physical therapy clinics to address the many painful conditions that can affect any woman’s life.
Pain and additional issues surrounding the pelvic floor can occur for a number of reasons. It can be limiting and, for some people, even a bit embarrassing. It can hinder your daily life, preventing you from completing tasks or participating in activities you love.
Fortunately, our targeted programs can help reduce or eliminate the pain and symptoms you are experiencing. Contact Bridge Physical Therapy in South Ogden, UT or Ogden Athletic Club today to schedule your consultation!
Will Your Women’s Health Services Treat My Condition?
At Bridge Physical Therapy, we recognize that women have unique health concerns that are often overlooked or ignored, even as they affect daily comfort, mobility, and overall function. Our women’s health physical therapists have specialized training to help address these concerns. Here are some of the common ones we see at our clinic:
Pelvic Pain
Pelvic pain may include discomfort in the low back, sacroiliac joints, abdomen, or pelvic floor, and it can interfere with daily activities or make intercourse painful. Physical therapy focuses on addressing the underlying causes by reducing muscle tension, minimizing scar tissue, and strengthening surrounding muscles to improve function and reduce pain.
Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence can occur due to pelvic floor weakness, often related to pregnancy, childbirth, or aging. There are multiple types of urinary incontinence, but most can be treated effectively with physical therapy, which helps strengthen the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles while teaching behavioral strategies that support better bladder control and function.
Pregnancy and Postpartum Care
Many women experience pain during or after pregnancy as their bodies adapt to physical changes. One particularly common but challenging condition is diastasis recti, which causes the abdominal muscles to separate, affecting overall strength. Regardless of what issues you’re experiencing, our team can help relieve discomfort, improve body mechanics, and address conditions such as diastasis recti to restore strength and function after childbirth.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures, particularly in adults over 50. We can guide you through safe, targeted exercises to help maintain bone density, strengthen postural muscles, and reduce the risk of falls and resulting bone fractures.
Bowel Dysfunction
Bowel dysfunction may include symptoms such as constipation, difficulty with bowel movements, fecal incontinence, bloating, or pain. Women’s health physical therapy can address these issues by improving pelvic floor muscle coordination, reducing tension, and teaching strategies that promote healthy bowel habits.
What Does A Women’s Health Treatment Plan Look Like?
Women’s health physical therapy focuses on musculoskeletal conditions that specifically affect women. Treatment focuses on identifying the underlying causes of symptoms and restoring proper strength, coordination, and function.
