Pelvic Floor Physical and Occupational Therapy in Temecula

Pelvic Floor Physical and Occupational Therapy in Temecula

Physical therapists pursue extensive post-graduate training in pelvic floor anatomy and physiology to better support the pelvic health concerns of their patients. In the broader field of physical and occupational therapy, pelvic floor physical and occupational therapy is a relatively newer specialty, but it has been rapidly gaining momentum—and we’re thrilled to contribute to its growth. Although we have focused expertise in pelvic health, we never lose sight of the fact that we are physical and occupational therapistss first, committed to viewing the body and mind as a unified whole.

Our services are especially beneficial for people experiencing symptoms tied to dysfunctions in the musculoskeletal, nervous, reproductive, gastrointestinal, or urologic systems. These pelvic health concerns typically fall within three major categories: bladder, bowel, and sexual dysfunction, along with various types of pelvic pain. There are numerous causes for these symptoms, such as trauma, pregnancy, surgical procedures, menopause, injury, or side effects from medications. If you live in Temecula and want to learn more, we encourage you to browse the rest of our site for detailed insights into the symptoms mentioned above.

How We Can Help You

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, a pelvic health physical and occupational therapy evaluation can be a vital first step on your path to healing. During this evaluation, your physical and occupational therapists will take time to discuss your personal health history, including any past diagnoses, treatments you’ve received, and whether those treatments were successful. We understand that many people from Temecula who come to us are often feeling discouraged or overwhelmed—and we want you to know that your concerns are valid and heard.

In the physical examination, your therapist will carefully evaluate your muscles, connective tissues, joints, nerves, and the patterns in how your body moves. Once this detailed exam is completed, your therapist will sit down with you to review the findings in an easy-to-understand way. A custom assessment will be developed to explain what may be causing your symptoms and to outline both short-term improvements and long-term recovery goals.

For most individuals, physical and occupational therapy sessions are scheduled once or twice per week over a span of about 12 weeks. You’ll also receive a personalized home exercise plan that works in harmony with your in-person visits. Additionally, your physical and occupational therapists will stay in communication with your wider care team to ensure a unified approach to recovery. For those in Temecula, we’re here to support your journey back to comfort, confidence, and wellness.
