TREATMENT & THERAPY
Even though pelvic floor physical therapy has been around many years, it is not a
well known specialty within the community. Pelvic floor therapy is targeted at the pelvic floor muscles, ligaments and connective tissues. The pelvic floor muscles support the pelvic organs, assist in bowel and bladder control, and contribute to sexual arousal and orgasm. These muscles are “out of site and commonly out of mind” for many people, and have been taboo to discuss for many years.
However a dysfunction of the pelvic floor can cause
Urinary leakage
Pelvic Pain
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Musculoskeletal Pain
Bowel Symptoms
Pain with intercourse
Lower back/ SI joint pain
In the comfort of your home, Dr. Sanchez will discuss, evaluate, and personalize the treatments
to achieve your goals, restore function, and stop the discomfort.
FOR EXPECTANT MOTHERS
During pregnancy, At Home Physio will strive to provide the care you need as your body is adjusting to the remarkable miracle of growing a baby. Dr. Sanchez will be there along the way helping you understand and adjust to this remarkable pregnancy transformation. Being active throughout your pregnancy is a great way to maintain strength and flexibility, while also preventing injury.
Some of the many benefits of being involved in pelvic floor therapy while pregnant are:
Prevention of musculoskeletal pain
Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles correctly
Education on proper posture with activities of daily living
Strategies for a better night’s sleep
Pregnancy-safe exercises
Treatment of lower back or hip pain

FOR POSTPARTUM MOTHERS
Congratulations, you have made it! While it is exciting to “reclaim” your body back after delivery, it is important to do the right kind of exercises at the right time. It is imperative to know that certain symptoms are not normal, even though culturally accepted as common.
Dr. Sanchez will listen to your goals and establish a safe plan of care to get you where you want to be.
Some of the misconception of “common symptoms” after delivery include:
Urinary leakage with sneezing and coughing
Pain with intercourse
Episiotomy or cesarean scar pain
Poor bowel control
Constipation
Heaviness or bulging in the vaginal area
Lower back and/or neck pain
Diastasi Recti (abdominal separation)
