How We Can Help You

If you’re located in Encino and struggling with pelvic health issues, a professional physical and occupational therapy evaluation can set you on a path toward healing. During your evaluation, the therapist will ask about your medical history, the symptoms you’re experiencing, and any prior treatments you’ve attempted—especially those that haven’t helped. We understand that by the time many people reach our care, they’re already frustrated and discouraged. That’s why we take extra care during the physical exam, which includes a full-body assessment of muscles, joints, nerves, and movement.

Following the exam, your therapist will review their findings and explain how your condition may have developed. Together, you’ll create a treatment roadmap outlining goals for both short-term progress and long-term recovery. Many of our patients from Encino attend sessions once or twice weekly over a 12-week span. You’ll be provided with exercises to do at home, and we work closely with other professionals involved in your care. Our mission is to guide you back to a life that feels whole and pain-free.
