Pelvic health physical therapy is an advanced specialization within the physical therapy field requiring additional training and certification. This type of physical therapy care specifically addresses symptoms related to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, which include pelvic and abdominal pain, bowel and bladder symptoms, pelvic organ prolapse, sexual health symptoms, as well as pregnancy and postpartum conditions. 

Dry needling is an adjunctive therapy that addresses pain-generating tissues in the muscles, commonly referred to as trigger points.  Trigger points typically develop as a result of overuse, muscular imbalances, or injury.  A thin, monofilament acupuncture needle is used to treat these trigger points resulting in decreased pain and improved mobility which are further enhanced when followed by a tailored exercise program. 

Health and Wellness Services are designed to optimize overall physical health, improve athletic performance, and prevent injury. A intake visit will include testing of posture, mobility, strength, and movement patterns to establish your fitness baseline. Based on that assessment, a wellness and exercise plan will be created just for you with an option to include adjunctive bodywork such as functional dry needling or cupping therapy. A Health and Wellness program with Dr. Danielle is an excellent way for you to have guidance on becoming more active and starting an exercise program, preventing injury, and building longevity by staying active in the ways you enjoy.
